It means you are easily pressured into doing things that you will possibly regret later. Even if not, you are giving too much of your time and energy to other people.
[ She can be a bit of a doormat, but it's mostly because she isn't the best at speaking up for herself or really it's mostly because her friends are very much full of energy and strong-willed! Kotori would just be happy to see them happy, so she doesn't mind at all. ]
But...I'm really happy when my friends are happy...
[ There's no wavering in her voice, she's serious. ]
[ Of course a lot of things made her happy! Kotori at least perked up when he mentioned that. ]
Yes! I really like cute animals and seeing them makes me happy! Making outfits for others is a lot of fun...oh and eating sweets!!
[ That's probably not what he was looking for, but he did at least have an answer now. Honestly, Kotori would probably date any of her good friends if it made them happy since she liked them enough to be close to them, so why not?! ]
I do, don't worry! I just happen to enjoy doing a lot of things that people ask me to do because I think about the smiles on their faces once I complete it!
[ She's really too pure for this world, because she's totally serious. ]
Okay! Should I come to you if something like this happens again?
[ What did that even mean? Was she worried that she might have to go through this again? Maybe, since this kind of stuff never happened at home really... ]
Thank you, Ichinose-san! Oh! And should I...um...also come to you if I sort out my feelings or...something?!
[ That made no sense, but she was basically asking if she figured out that she did, in fact, have a solid crush on someone, then should she come to him about it so that he could help her with it. ]
[ Kotori will get in trouble if left unattended....It's true since she is terrible for speaking for herself and just goes along with just about anything. ]
Thank you!! But you're silly...they're both really nice and have sense about them, Ichinose-san!!! Don't wake them being mean...shhhh... [ She put her finger over her mouth and giggled, trying to shush him. ]
[ Kotori couldn't help but giggle a little more since she wasn't totally convinced that he didn't mean it in some other way, but at least he was being nicer (?) now. ]
You're right! I think Mikoto-kun is definitely asleep, so maybe we can try to rest for now and see what happens tomorrow...
[ She's a bit nervous about how the next day will go but...the only thing she can do for now is sleep since it's not like she can go out and talk to him right now anyway! ]

But...Ichinose-san, I really like seeing other people happy, so I do my best to try to make them as happy as possible! Is that bad...?
[ She looks a little worried because he does have a point, even if she doesn't fully see the point. ]
no subject
You need to consider your own happiness as well.
[ She's too much of a doormat, in his opinion. ]

no subject
Is there anything else that makes you happy?
[ Tokiya isn't selfish, but he's been called so. He knows how important it is to put your own safety and health first. ]

You need to take time out for yourself to do those things, even if people make demands from you.

Then, I have nothing further to say.
[ Except slap the offenders instead, apparently. ]
no subject
[ That was the whole point of this conversation, right? Kotori didn't know how he didn't have much else to say!? ]
no subject
... We will continue this conversation when I find something else to say.

[ Take it as a yes. Kotori will get in trouble if left unattended, really. He's just doing his civic duty, nothing else! ]

Considering the fact that they are both asleep and sleeping people cannot give advice, it is a justified conclusion.
[ But he'll concede. ]

You should sleep too.
[ Though it isn't his bedtime yet, so he'll be out a bit more. ]
no subject
[ Kotori smiled at him and began to move around her pillows as if she was about to get comfortable and lay down. ]
Oh...thanks for all of your help, Ichinose-san...
no subject
Be careful and you'll be fine.
[ Is he cracking a tiny smile? Maybe. Possibly. ]
no subject
Mhm!! I will! Don't worry!
no subject
He goes back to fiddling with his phone while Kotori goes to sleep. ]
