Yeah, I think we had very different experiences with the guy.

[okay he can't help but laugh]

People really do get scared of you, Ray-kun....

Oh, he wasn't scared. I assume he didn't project his issues with his dead son onto you?

[holy fuck]

What.

Yeah, he had a dead son. You didn't know?

No, that's.... Ah, of course he never mentioned anything like that to me.

[jesus christ]

[he shrugs.]

It came up with me.

... sorry, that's - pretty weird and heavy.

It was mostly annoying.

[because, again, projection.]

... yeah, I don't really blame you for feeling that way either.

[he shakes his head]

Well, that's definitely a weird relationship to have with Chuuya-san.

I mean, he didn't think I was his dead son or anything. He was just annoyingly firm on his stance that children should be protected.

Like to the point that you couldn't make your own decisions kind of thing?

Well, not that bad. Just stuff like how people my age shouldn't have to experience death or go through the hardships that adults are supposed to take care of, or whatever—even if reality isn't that kind.

.... it's a nice ideal.

[but he can see an issue with that too. he shakes his head.]

I feel like Chuuya-san had a problem with good intentions, bad execution.

It pissed me off.

I'm not surprised.

If someone is that firm about something, without asking for your side... it kinda feels like invalidating your experiences, right? Like you can talk about a perfect world all you want, but someone still had to live through that hardship you're trying to deny....

[...

he blinks, evidently surprised by what senri just said.]

[senri blinks back]

... am I off....

No. You're... actually pretty on the mark.

[which was unexpected.]

Please don't sound so surprised...

[ray!!]

I'm used to people who don't get my experiences, so they'll completely misunderstand my problems or gloss over them like they don't exist.

Yeah?

Yeah.

But I just lie and pretend it doesn't bother me anyway.

[senri!!!!

him being called out on his lie does wonders for his bluntness]

I know you don't really have the concept of wealth where you come from - but take it from me that rich people suck.

[ray can't really judge.]

People with power usually do.

Right? They really don't understand the problems of the common person! It's super frustrating - and they'll misunderstand when they try to help, anyway.

Ah, I can't stay mad for too long, but a lot of people at my school are like that...

[ray and senri are thinking of two completely different matters but ray will not say that.]

Then why go there?
