I can't help him, I'm useless when it comes to someone who lacks talent.

( but they're the same, so she could do something more than him, but komaeda doesn't mind assisting from time to time. it's not hard to understand that in the end, he's not really izumi's friend, he's nothing at all, and so it's not like he's competition to her. )

That's where you take part. ( he pauses, looking at chiaki with a smile. ) Taking me out would be a waste of time, when you could apply it to him instead...
