"I eat their food, I encourage their delusions. I accept that I am who they say I am, that I'm insane, delusional. They told me, in that cursed file of theirs, that I want to make people happy because my father killed himself." He felt his throat closing up, but a little bit of juice changed that. He wanted to make others happy because it made him happy, but then, what did this place know about cheer?
Kio knew they weren't alive. But they had been. At some point. "Only if you teach me, Sou-chan," he added with a trace of the Kio smile. "Ritsuka needs more tending than me. You have to hold him while he cries, you know." He wasn't sure what to say to Soubi. He needed him now and he assumed that Ritsuka did too. Kio didn't know how he would deal with Soubi disappearing, or worse.
His eyes widened momentarily. "Replaced? What with?" His fingers touched Sou-chan's. He wanted to hug his friend, but the nurses seemed to frown on cheer and love. Not that he Loved Sou-chan. Kio capitalised big letters in his head.
