Then at least let me help. It doesn't have to be all the time. But it just takes two people to generate Chroma, right? So let me help keep you safe, and I'll feel better.
[It's a good thing this isn't an in-person conversation, so no one hears her audible sigh of relief, or the way she full-body relaxes like a whole weight of tension leaves her in an instant.]
Great! I'm glad. I'm really glad.
As for needing anything...I'm thinking about getting a job, so if they need somebody to vouch for me before they hire me, can I tell them they can ask you? Don't say anything mean about me, okay?
