Radley knows it's not exactly the same, but at least he hopes that it gives him some level of understanding into how Keldor is feeling and some ability to give decent advice.

Evie happily accepts pats and continues to purr. The other Eevees start purring too.

"Yeah...." Radley sighs, pondering the possible options. "You could talk to a professional, like a counselor.... I know a lot of people don't like to do that, though. Some people find it easier to talk to a stranger, while others would rather talk to somebody they know. Talking to somebody, anybody, would be better than keeping it inside. You really need to get it out. I'm a good listener; I always tried to listen to my friends' problems back home. And in this case, I know my situation isn't the same by a long shot, but I did struggle with wanting approval too, so I think I'd understand more than somebody who's never gone through that at all. It's up to you, but ... clearly you've gotta try something. Whether that's talking to me or a counselor or somebody else, I'll support you whatever you choose."

As long as he doesn't choose to hide it away again. Radley will have to insist he do something to try to help the problem.
