"Neither of those are exactly the problem," Chara says. "But. You may as well hold onto your determination." They haven't really tried to leave the way others have (passive suicide attempts aren't exactly the same thing, they think) so who knows, maybe he just needs to ~try harder than everyone else!~
They listen to his explanation, with an air that's at least polite, if not especially enthusiastic. They can tell from the way he talks about it and from thinking about it logically that it's very impressive, but if they were to try and change the way people think, Chara feels like overall intelligence wouldn't be near the top of their priority list.
They're still hungry so they partly turn their attentions back to the desert table and begin pulling apart a cake with their free hand for stray jewelry, though they also resume talking as they do. "So. It's like the operation from Flowers for Algernon?" That ended rather badly, as Chara recalls. "How do you use it? Most people don't come with CD drives."
They pull a small, jeweled brooch out of the cake, brush some crumbs off, and slip it into their pants pocket.
