["A waste of time". That stings too. In a different way than being insulted on what she is, but no less hurtful because he is insulting her conviction. But she's made up her mind, and so she continues to speak calmly, fighting several acerbic comments she wants to make.

She makes a point to stare right into his face, willing him to understand where she's coming from.]

First of all, it's my time, so I can decide how to use it. And I want to use it to help you.

Second of all, it's not fixing you. I'm not making you my project, I'm not trying to mold you into an 'ideal' Joshua that has resolved all his problems. Our problems never leave us. But we can come to terms with them, make it so they don't hurt us as much. If you need me to help you with that too, then I can try. But what I'm...offering, I guess, is just me. I'm here for you, if you want me to be here for you. If you don't, I'm here anyways. I accept you as you are, no matter what you do, no matter what.
