*There is a point in the middle of the night where the weight of worry and insomnia seems to shift from dwelling on how long you have been lying awake since bedtime toward how little time it's going to be until you're doomed to survive another day.

By this point, she had heard Johan leave, and decided to follow him. She'd actually been tailing him for a while, yet as she got there, she waited for a while to see what he was up to. After he sat for a while, she finally spoke up:*
... What are you doing...?

Lots of people try to put it into words, and it usually winds up being something along the lines of not wanting to hurt the people you love, no matter what. And you're only just starting to live a normal life, right? I don't think it needs to happen right away, but life's unpredictable, so it just might.

Vulnerability, the way they could easily just take your heart and crush it... or even the fear of hurting the other irrevocably. But... I think the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to being close to others.

Naturally, it might be a little surprising if you do say something, but if they truly can't accept you after that... they might not be worth it to begin with. A better person would probably just say "it's over with now" and keep caring about you for you, not stopping for what you did in the past that most everyone will have likely forgotten about by that point.
That's what I'm doing, anyway... not that I can claim to know you that well or anything, though.

It depends on the person, though, I guess. Look at me, for example. I was possessed once by someone very close to Juudai, but... I don't hold it against her. Someone else who is more inclined to hold grudges might still be wary around her, but I have no problem with her now.
By that time, though... it just might be so far in the past and so small and insignificant in that person's memory that it may turn out to be no problem at all.
