Yes.

What is it, uncle?

[daemonized]

We haven't talked much about what's been affecting you as of late. Are you sure it isn't weighing you down, in ways you've simply not mentioned to me?

[ Now this is the hard part... where he doesn't want to lie to his uncle, the one person he considers as a close family member (which is impressive considering how terrible his relationship is with his parents) but on the other hand... he doesn't want to worry him either. He's so unused to having to share any of his thoughts that it's hard to do so, especially with family. ]

I truly appreciate the concern, Izunia-san, I really do but I am sure. I am all right.

It's nothing that I can't handle.

[The text comes delayed, because he's judging how to respond from here. He wants to give his nephew the benefit of the doubt, and yet he doesn't want to overlook anything that might actually be bothering him.

He settles for a response that settles somewhere in-between. Later, perhaps, he'll feel bad about not pressing the matter with a more fervency.]

Far be it from me to not trust your own assessment of how you're doing, but you do realize that I'm here for you if you wish to talk? Even if it's something you find insubstantial. If it worries you, it is not insubstantial to me.

[ It's okay, Ardyn. Nearly/Actually getting hit with a car is just a rite of passage. Everyone goes through it eventually. ]

Yes, I know. Thank you.

[ And then there's a pause before his next text as if he's debating whenever or not he wants to send this message... ]

I'm not used to sharing my thoughts. With anyone.

[ Including Yu. ]

[daemonized]

And I'm not pressuring you to share anything you don't want to.

[He wants to make that clear. He wants Souji to not feel pressured, because he doesn't want to push the boy away.]

Just know that I'm here for you, if you ever need anything.
