... It's not something I'll ever be able to empathize with, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing. You just have to figure out how to turn it into a strength.

Being soft-hearted makes me harmless, and making people happy is a strength. It's what I'm good at. People talk more when they're happier, so in this case I'm making it into an information game. Maybe if people like me, they'll hesitate to kill me too.
[ . . . he doesn't like talking about it so callously though. he just shrugs and shakes his head.]
I hate thinking about it like that, though. But if that's what it takes to figure out a way to get the least amount of people hurt, I'll deal with it.

I don't really mind answering, but you're probably not going to like it. Though it's probably kind of obvious, anyway.

[his brow furrows]
But it's been bugging me, so I wanted to know.
no subject
Not much to say about it. Where I'm from, the people around me were sent to their deaths regularly. I grew up knowing it was happening.
So, you could say I'm pretty acquainted with the idea of people dying. That's it.

What's that look for?

[and he'll shake his head. he definitely still looks surprised and haunted but.]
... sorry for not being more mindful, Ray-kun. I guess you've just had to think about a lot of stuff that I haven't.

Just something I guess I should've thought about. A lot of people here come from really different things than I've ever had to experience.
This week is... really a wake up call for that.
no subject
You really are soft-hearted, aren't you?
[to be worrying about something like that right now, of all times.]
no subject
Save calling me an idiot over that for another day, please.
[because he's heard it a lot lately. that his kindness is stupid. well what's he supposed to do about it right now, huh....]

I guess that was probably meant to be reassuring, huh, Ray-kun?
Well, I'm not at a top academy for nothing. And if I don't get it together, it'll just put the people around me in a worse position anyway.

[a pause]
Well, if all else fails, you can try using that Takaomi guy as your wits.
[he figures senri will probably hate that, which is exactly why he said it.]
no subject
[but
it does get senri to at least try a jab of his usual humor]

Well, the consistency's been refreshing, if nothing else.
So.... thanks, Ray-kun.

Whatever.
