There was really no winning here. Refuse, and he'd just get nagged at more for being an uncooperative loner who was achieving nothing by rejecting Harpuia's freely given (and obnoxious) help. Agree, and face humiliation. Also, probably more know-it-all lecturing.
Zero stood in sullen petulance for a good, long while, half-wondering if Harpuia was actually going to make good on his threat to barge in. That possibility made resistance near-pointless... Ugh. He knew he needed help with this - that was the worst part. He really clearly didn't know what he was doing...
Gritting his teeth, he forced himself out of the change room looking like the tiny little child he was, fists clenched and glaring daggers all the while.
