"Being the leader means trying to help everyone else... Make things work, keep it running, keep the morale up, think on your feet, know the plans... Try to bottle up your own problems for the sake of getting everything done. Making sure everyone's happy."

She says that with a very, very small hint of tiredness. She knows full well how exhausting it can be, even with the thrill of being a Phantom Thief and the side of herself she's able to show through it.

She's finishing up with another potato as she continues, actually trying her best to word what she wants to say.

"...But you're human, you know. Sometimes you've got to let it out. Trust people. That's not part of being a leader, that's humanity."

...But it's not like she really minded at the time. They all had their problems, and it was clear it helped the newer members feel more welcome, knowing they weren't the only ones without a place to belong.

There's a plop as another potato goes into the water.

"So you've got a problem, right? There's no shame in getting help when you need it. Personal problem, leader problem... Doesn't matter which. Hell, even just talking about it can help."
