That blunt response made Anise's temper flare up, but she just barely managed to keep herself from showing her anger. He wasn't taking her seriously at all, this bastard!

"Of course I'm worried! Why wouldn't I be?" Even though Anise might have been exaggerating her concern earlier, she really did miss the cool, flirty Aidou she met weeks ago. Did he really not care about his own peace of mind? What about his social life? If he kept pushing people away, then it would only be a matter of time before he was left all alone. Was that really what he wanted? It couldn't be.

Anise couldn't understand why Aidou would continue to shrug this off, even with someone offering to help, and that was making her frustrated. Like it would kill him to be a little more open with people! "If whatever's on your mind is bothering you so much that you can't even relax and be yourself, then it should be obvious that it needs fixing!"
