"But Shen Wei isn't wiping ZYL's nose because it hurts (ZYL doesn't even notice the nosebleed until SW does); he's wiping ZYL's nose because there's blood there, ie, ZYL has injured himself again. ZYL doesn't ask for sympathy, and SW doesn't give it."

I guess I just mean, Zhao Yunlan is not asking to have his nose wiped either, blood or not? Same with getting fed, he doesn't ask for it either, SW does it anyway.

I absolutely respect the vibes feeling different! :) I don't even disagree at all, I just personally can't tell the difference (beyond the verbal/non-verbal one, that is), but it doesn't at all mean that there isn't one. :)
