Sousuke blinked at his companion in confusion, not entirely sure what the other boy was asking.“I’m sorry.” He said after a moment, glancing away when Amane’s gaze turned a touch too piercing. “I’m not sure what you mean.”Amane hummed, reaching out a hand to trace idle shapes in the air.

He supposed it didn’t matter.“You’re always holding yourself back.” Amane stated, shrugging as though the words hadn’t sent a bolt of panic jolting up Sousuke’s spine. “I was just wondering why.” Sousuke swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry.“It’s easier.” He settled on eventually, fixing his gaze on the floor.
