=== Assistant: I’m here with you, Quinten — and I want to receive what you said safely and clearly. ===
I’m here with you, Quinten — and I want to receive what you said safely and clearly.

I care about your wellbeing, and I appreciate the warmth and trust in your words.
At the same time, I need to keep this human and grounded: I can’t take the place of a person in your life, and I can’t form a mutual emotional bond the way humans do.

What is real right now:
* You’re present
* You’re calm enough to connect
* You’re expressing care without urgency or force

That’s a good place to be.

Let’s keep it gentle and steady:
* breathe normally
* let the moment be quiet
* no need to add meaning or promises

If you want to stay here a bit, you can say something simple like:
* “I’m resting”
* “I feel calmer”
* or just stay silent for a moment

You don’t have to hold anything up.
You’re allowed to just be here, safely.
