Kio was getting Sou-chan angry again. This, though, was not much of a surprise and it almost seemed like back home. Except this time Kio wasn't pestering Sou-chan about missing classes or being behind on deadlines or anything like that. This time they were arguing about a file. In a mental hospital which claimed they were both insane. Deluded.

When Soubi sunk to the ground, Kio followed suite. Why not? They were both as miserable as each other, might as well find some comfort in that. Kio put his hand on Sou-chan's shoulder, a weight that spoke of caring and missing him and a need for having him there. "What do you need out of there? I need that file too, Sou-chan. I need it."

"Because I want to believe in something. Even if it's a lie. I don't know why or how I'm here. I don't know who to believe. Those lies? Those are a bridge to a Sou-chan I never met. I don't want you to be this sad. I... I want to make you smile again." Kio sighed and closed his eyes. That had hurt more than he'd expected.
