The previous times they had talks like this, she found herself later regretting how much she said. How much she rambled. Eun tries this time to put it simply.]

I care more about you so much, in such a short period of time, that it's apparently turned me into an occasional lunatic because my relationship inexperience means I don't know how to handle those feelings well. Or the related thoughts and questions. The more I try to figure things out and get a handle on it, the more I feel like I'm just digging myself in deeper which starts the cycle all over again.
