(Continuation from yesterday)
At that time I (even now), I can not ask for "help" for friends as well as for my relatives.
Why can not I ask for "help"?
I didn't want to owe someone one.
"If I owe, I will return."
is annoying me.
I am afraid that it is difficult to explain this situation.
Dare to say, it is "Graham's mind" in the comic "Hamidashikko" by Mihara Jun-sensei.
-----
By the way, Jack said such a thing to Max.
That is not enough to have "a pride that is hurt by being helped"
"Real pride" is to be helped by someone when I need, and to help someone when they need help
-----
Anyway my pride is far from "real pride" that Jack told Max,
"When you need help, you really will die if you do not ask for help"
