I really need to know the question, because if it's about respecting you I can do that but if my hand's going to explode when I'm trying to pull you up from a cliff because you accidentally fell off, then to have your back I need to know an effective way to do it.
[Yata grits his teeth, slightly conflicted over how to answer.]
Your hand's not gonna explode, okay?
[...that sounds so dumb to say. He'll take the possible exaggeration over any other kind of response, though—he is a man, okay, he's not going to admit that he's actually just a huge virgin who doesn't know how to deal with girls at all.]
Whatever your reasons are, they're yours. If you want to tell me someday that's fine, but I'm not going to pressure you about it.
[ Accelerator's not the only one she's dealt with that doesn't like to be touched. Of course, those reason were pretty different than Yata's. Not that she knew. ]

Wh-what's your problem?!
[She's messing with him and he knows it! ...but there's nothing he can do about it, he's just that afraid of girls.]
action;
Is it a personal reason or are you going to explode my hand if my skin comes in contact with you?
action;
[Either he's in denial or he's a poor liar, it's impossible to tell...]
