“Didn’t you listen? A hospital can’t fix what has happened to his hands.
Then you’re not as good of a friend as you could be. Tough love is necessary sometimes, and anyone who doesn’t believe that is ignorant. Maybe not as much as I use it, but it is necessary. It’s not taking advantage of someone. It’s giving a strong push to them to do what you both know they need to do, but won’t do for themselves out of fear, or pride.”

"I’m not talking about his hands. If he gets injured in the future.
I don’t think you understood or listened to what I said. I said that I can’t do ‘tough love’ outside of a battle. I’m not capable of it. If I am ignorant for not being capable of it, then fine. I am ignorant. I’m not going to hurt him or induce a panic attack just because I want him to get medical treatment.”
