[They sense that Amane understands, though, at least on some level. Shinsha doesn't want to be "that poor allergy guy" or "that poor guy who looks like a girl." They don't want have to think about their gender at all most of the time. Amane probably doesn't want to think about his handful of pills, either.]

[Shinsha looks away and fusses anxiously with their Teki-Terra plushes. What Amane he has the sort of condition that can't be easily fixed with medication?

He must think they're a spoiled, stubborn brat who's complaining about not being sick while shunning a family who only wants the best for them...]
