He... thought? Kyousuke really wasn't sure what to make of that. There were plenty of people in the world who just plain weren't very observant, but this particular lack of knowledge was almost surreal. But the other boy at least seemed to have caught on, so he refrained from commenting on it.

"... Not necessarily. Sometimes they can go both ways, but that's the general idea." Whether this particular system did, he had no idea. It didn't seem to, but that didn't completely rule out the possibility, although he couldn't think it made much difference either way.

He snorted at the comparison of their knowledge. Being stacked against someone who hadn't known anything hardly amounted to anything if you asked him, but he did allow a very slight smile. He stared at the hand being offered him for a moment, but ended up shaking it anyway; it wasn't like it was going to hurt anything. "Tsurugi Kyousuke," he returned. Just in time, it seemed, because the nurses were starting to round people up.
