↳ ❂ ↰ It shouldn’t have been funny, but Kaeto laughed at the statement anyway if only because he felt the same. He didn’t expect it either: the comment came out of nowhere. He sat off to the side of Ranpo’s desk like a child visiting his guardian at work, completing his (tedious) schoolwork while listening to the man tell stories of whatever he pleased. It made things a lot more enjoyable.
But then the man’s expression soured and he said that, and hopefully it wasn’t directed towards the teen; after all, the that point, Ranpo should know that he was paying attention even as his pencil moved across his papers. In fact, Kaeto was more focused on Ranpo than his work. Ranpo probably be a lot more direct if he meant that he wanted the teen’s undivided attention, though. So other people were bothering him?
“I know how that feels,” he agreed. Being avoided even after not being able to use his ability freely for years gave him enough reason to feel bitter over his relationships with others. Aside from that, the majority of the population weren’t intelligent enough to keep him interested, so despite the fact that having friends sounded like a wonderful concept, it seemed unlikely for him. “It’s pretty annoying to feel like the effort’s gone to waste, yeah?”
