I like that she has fears I just wish they would treat them differently.
Well in her defense, she doesn't just think about them, she thinks too much about them and doesn't stop until her headasplodes. When she thinks about herself in a situation she's afraid of, she thinks the worst of it, all her thoughts in ep2 seem to reflect that. I won't be surprised that she did the same when she saw the barnacles this episode. Just like how you stop thinking of it as a way to cope, her convincing herself seems to be her own brand of that.

With that little rubbing in thanks to Ritsu, that impression (just like a particularly scary horror movie's) left on her is not going to go away for a day or two, which was how long their little 'holiday' was.
