What, I went over the fact we went to a new realm!

....But not what it's like. Or about Hook's game or anything about the keys... You didn't mention that we weren't dating, or how rough things have been for you.

Wait... what? I dunno what you mean about things being rough for me at all! Or about Hook's game? Keys...? And-- you thought we were dating?

...What's the last thing you remember...?

Just after the Masked Lady's game...?

...

[Scrubbing at his face with his palm a moment.]

...Stuff happened after that....

I guessed as much already!

The Sea Witch and Hook ran a death game, you and I were paired. One of the things we bargained was our keys. After that the Darkness targeted our dreams.

[Leave everything important out just like he accused Kazuki of? Why don't mind if he does.]

. . . okay, that does sound rough.

But-- you avoided my earlier question, I'm not just letting it go! You thought we... do you want to be dating!?

It could have been worse, and we worked well together.

.....I assumed. You didn't explain it.

I also-- I didn't--!

... we did... say that... and had...

....You're not speaking clearly at all.

It's because my thoughts aren't clear yet either! And you're not letting your feelings known at all!

Do you want me to be emotional about it...?

This is the kind of misunderstanding that really hurts when it isn't sorted out immediately, and you irresponsibly didn't think that far. Well, I know you were well-meaning, but you shouldn't be surprised if I'm upset and don't want to to deal with you right now.

I'm not surprised! I just... you said it yourself, I didn't think ahead! Which is why more than ever I want to deal with it now, even if it's upsetting, or you hate me!

.....

[Just kind of stares at Kazuki expressionlessly and then finishes his thought.]

...Is what I'd say, if I were a sadist.

. . .

Really?

[Now he's laughing.]

You deserved at least that much.

[ Punches in the shoulder! ]

That was crossing the line a little!

[Takes it like a noodle.]

Only because you have some kind of abandonment complex that makes you insecure.

But I am serious, at least that you should be more clear about things like that before they're misunderstandings.

Who's insecure? And alright, I get it, my bad!

You don't remember but this isn't the first time you've acted like I'm going to walk away from you, like you expect it or something.

....Though you were more convincing about being sorry when you were panicking....

You really are a sadist.

Probably.

Also, it's natural to worry about hurting someone you like! Idiot.
