['Kai' is sitting at the kitchen table, looking very distracted and gently brushing his knuckles against his chest. He'd forgotten how stressful it was to have a Heart. No need to pretend -- oh no, it was harder. Much harder. Not worth the effort, if you asked him. None of it. And to have a pure one?]

Give me a break.

[That's definitely not Kai, but you wouldn't be able to tell by his neutral position. Not at first, anyway. But he's tense, and that's at least a little noticeable. He'll probably leave the moment anyone else enters.

...probably. There is one thing he'd like to see, first.]

For example...

[wondering how much he could mess with him at this rate.]

Hate. Things like that. Lowest of the lows.

[oh, he's far too easy to mess with.]

He can't hate people? Even if he should?

[makes it easier for him.]

No, he can't. There are a lot of things he can't do that he probably should.

Like what?

[he's eager to learn everything he can and gladly accepts any source of it.]

I don't know. Maybe he wouldn't want me to tell you.

[looks thoughtful.]

...don't pretend. You don't care about what he wants.

[which reminds him. he takes a small step backwards.]

Maybe not. But it seems like I wouldn't be the only one. You seem perfectly happy to find out everything you can, even if it's not from him. Did you even think about it?

...no...

[shakes his head in a disapproving way.]

I wonder what he would think if he knew his 'friends' would take advantage of this so easily.

I didn't-! You offered to... don't tell him.

[GUILT.]

Why not?

[it's an honest question~]

Because he'll hate me. If he could he would.

Good thing for you he can't, hm? I guess he'll just be disappointed.

[tsk.]

Please don't tell him...

[he'd prefer to tell Kai himself... and he would, because he can't really keep secrets at all.]

Keeping secrets, too?

[keep making this worse, it's amusing him.]

No! I'm going to tell him myself. I just don't want you to do it...

[stop looking like Kai it is confusing D:]

[pff, he'd change if he could.]

Will you really? Not afraid of what he might think of you?

...of course I'm afraid. But it'd hurt him more if he heard it from you.

[which he is quite confident of, despite not really knowing why Kai dislikes this guy so much. well, except for the killing part...]

Now you're acting like you care, hmm?

[crosses his arms, all fluid movements and light tones.]

Of course I care!

[he exclaims loudly, fidgeting with the bottom hem of his shirt.]

You didn't before.

[smiles, apparently unfazed.]

I-I'm... s-sorry...

I bet you are. And I bet he'll forgive you, too.

[taps his chest.]

...because he'll have no choice.

[he looks away and is obviously badly messed up by this.]

It's a wonder more of his friends don't take advantage of that.

[this is so much fun for him.]
