It is really heartbreaking to see him like that. His face looks really empty. I hope someone close to him is able to support him well *wants to hug him now* T_T

I tried my best at translating a bit, but there is a part I can't really make out, since he talks so fast :/

"It was the first time that from someone...
That from this person, I wanted praise.

That's how I felt/thought. It made me happy.

Because of this, I haven't been able to do anything completely on my own up until now.

(the part i can't make out)

For his praise, I wanted to try my best even harder in what I was doing.
That's the first time I started thinking like this."
