Yu has done that for him on many occasions. And while Yosuke may not be the best at picking just a few, he offers what he can.

Which includes a shoulder.

When Yu starts to press his hand against his chest, Yosuke scoots a little closer, shifting so that their thighs press together. He slips a hand around Yu's shoulder and nods. ]

I know that doesn't mean it's all gonna stop running through your head, but...that's what we're here for, right? When that stuff is driving you crazy and you can't think about anything else. You know you can come to me.

...I really wanted to like the guy for your sake, at least. I don't really know him other than...through all of this. You know that I had some of my own reservations from the start, and maybe that makes me biased, but...I'm sorry this ended so shitty. Really sorry. You shouldn't have to go through this.
