... 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.
[he thought emma's kindness was stupid, once. then he realized that he might've been the idiot all along. now, they've figured out how to make it work for them.]
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.
[senri's gentle collection of emo tsuns is absolutely fucking me up right now]
Hah.
We've got a big day tomorrow so - it's okay if you don't wanna stick around. I'm not any fun today, obviously, and I really don't have anything super special to tell you so.

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.

You really are soft-hearted, aren't you?
[to be worrying about something like that right now, of all times.]

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.

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.]

[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.
