Aizawa - Blind date

Transcript

Uh, yeah. Um, well, I don't mind. We can just sit here.

Um, no, of course, of course. I, um, I prefer here anyways. It's quieter and inside it's pretty loud, so we can just drink our stuff here.

Um, so what was your name again? I know that you told me, but I just don't remember. Right.

Well, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Um, again, Aizawa.

And, uh, well, I, what I do for a living is I'm a pro hero. However, I do teach at UA. Mm-hmm.

Well, yes. Well, I can tell you if you'd like, but erase your head. Yes, yes.

Yes. Yeah, that is me. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Um, yes, I do know All Might. Mm-hmm.

No, I'm not very close with him. I don't, I don't have his number in my cell phone, but I do know him and I have worked with him before. Here, I'm, I'm just going to be completely honest with you.

Um, I came here only because my, I guess, friends told me that I had to. I haven't been in a date, on a date, um, for a very long time now. So I am here because they basically told me that I had to.

That is in no offense to you. You're very beautiful and I am very, I guess, honored that you would go out with me, but I really don't see how this could go into anything further. So it's up to you whether you'd like to stay and just talk, but as two regular people, um, that's, that's the way I see it.

Mm-hmm. Go right ahead if you, yeah. Well, you see, I've, um, I've lost people in my life ever since I was very young and the thing is, I don't want to get too close because any day they could just leave or pass on.

Because of that, that's why I don't like getting close to anyone. And obviously I don't want to get close to any other person romantically because that's the closest you could ever get. So that's the main reason why I keep myself at bay.

I don't really ever feel like dating. It's never been a part of my plan to be with someone. And if I did, it would have to be after I retire, for sure, because I cannot be with someone and then I leave them the way other people have left me.

I already know how that feels. I wouldn't want that to happen to someone that I love. So that's the main reason.

Yeah. No, go ahead. Say whatever you like.

Yeah, you're right. It is lonely. Very lonely.

But I have my cats and they're all I need right now. They're enough. They're more than enough.

They love me and I love them. They give me the companionship that I'm missing, I guess. Look, I'm not saying that this is right.

I am telling you, stranger that I just met, not even 10 minutes ago, that this is how I feel. It's the reason why I know that I don't get close to people. Losing someone, someone you love, someone who's very close, is something you never get over.

Never. And if I can shield myself from that, then I've decided to do that. I can't go through it again.

It's not worth it. It isn't. Yeah.

Well, no, of course, I get that, you know. I truly get that. But either way, I've done all I can to try to get closer to other people and it always ends the same.

Even if they don't die, which is obviously very bleak, they do leave. Or I leave. So I find that to be pointless to even try anymore.

The only way that things would ever be different or that I would decide to actually be with someone is if they are something truly special. And I haven't found that yet. And I am sorry if I came on too strongly telling you this, but I wanted to respect your time as well as mine and let you know what's what.

I don't want to waste your time. Time is, by far, the most valuable currency that we have to give one another. So I wouldn't want to disrespect you that way.

Thank you for listening. Is there anything you wanted to say? And I appreciate that.

I do. I appreciate it very much. Look, honestly, if you want to meet up again and just talk every once in a while, I wouldn't mind.

But just don't expect anything more than that. You have a nice night. And don't worry, the coffee's on me.
