[Grune would be correct in assuming Norma's a little hesitant for physical contact, but her flaw is that she simply cannot let people think she's anything other than a-okay.

So while she'd much rather just abscond to her room to have her privacy, she feels obliged to give in to Grune's request. As a friend.]
