[ Is avoiding really the word to use? Kalim hasn't been avoiding Jamil. At least, not insofar as avoidance being the intention. Then again, how is one meant to convey intention with something like that?
There's nothing left for Jamil to do here, in any case. Cleaning the forceps and packing away the kit barely eats up a few moments of his time, and then he has to awkwardly meander back to his coconut -- not touching a single thing in between -- while he tries to work out how Jamil's gotten this impression in the first place. ]
I've been trying to do more for myself. I'm learning all the things I never had to do before. I don't want to ask you for help unless I really need it. And I don't expect you to do anything for me anymore. I'm really grateful for what you still do! But--
I know I'm a burden to you. I didn't know I was. But I don't want to be anymore. So I'm trying really hard to make it so you can do what you want to do, and be who you want to be.

Isn't that what you wanted?
