It's less about what they want or don't want to say and more about what they don't want to hear, I think?
You know, maybe someone didn't have the best first impression of another person, and then just is really determined not to like that person from then on. That sort of thing!
But... Then wouldn't they just not change their mind no matter what they hear?
[ this is wild to Escha, what the fuck kind of dysfunctional people are out in the world? she's used to well adjusted people and well adjusted people only. ]
[ she opens her mouth but then just. pauses. for a moment she actually looks a little... sad? uncomfortable? those words are too strong as descriptors, really, but the hesitation is a bit of a difference from her teasing, playful tone she's had throughout the conversation. ]
No one you'd know here, maybe. Just a few special people, that's all.
No... well, yes, maybe a little. It's really not your fault.
I was just reminded of someone, that's all. She reminds me of my sister, just a little, but she's been hurt in ways my sister hasn't. So things like what I was saying earlier... I think it's really just that she's trying to protect herself.
I think that a group story time is still worth doing, even if not everyone wants to join in. It's okay if whoever she is doesn't want to join, whatever the reason...! We'll just have to befriend her in other ways, separately!
No, but they shouldn't be so judgmental! We haven't been here that long, and anyone would be curious!
All you have a tell a nosy person is that you don't want to talk about it!
[ And then, because both parties are definitely well adjusted adults, the nosy person will say, "Okay, I respect that," and leave you alone! For sure! ]

[ ye local sasukes and broodies and antiheroes who are determined not to get attached to a bunch of strangers who are all going to die,
(like the one i was playing last game) ]

Huh? But if they could choose what to talk about, isn't it like you said? They could pick something they don't mind saying.
[ ie: she doesn't really understand. an.... antisocial?? HUH???? ]

Don't worry about me, Escha. You can't expect everyone to like you, right?
