It didn't make sense. Chloé was talented, loved the limelight and attention. Why would she just quit, when-
... oh.
Sometimes, things made a lot more sense without years of details getting in the way. Adrien had known for years that Chloé liked him, but he hadn't realized what their duets meant to her. Enough to quit when they stopped playing together?
Adrien looked down at his hands again, frowning slightly. Chloé, even now, had utter faith in him. After so much doubt, it was heartening.
Later, when he was better healed and thinking clearly, he'd realize what Chloé was really trying to do. While she might have wanted to play with him, she had also gone out of her way to find something to help him, something familiar that he wouldn't have to think about. Right now, he was in desperate need of exactly that.
(Maybe he was giving her too much credit.)
"It couldn't hurt to try. And I can sit up. And walk."
Yeah, if you ignored how Marinette had to carry him back to bed.

"It just hurts to do it for too long."
