[ Even as he watches Kiraki walk away, the uncertain feeling remains in the pit of his stomach. It's going to take a whole lot to make those two get along, he can tell that much.. Which is definitely going to be an issue in the future since he's not planning on ever abandoning either of them if he can help it. They're both important to him, so they'll just eventually have to find some way to live with that fact. So he tries to at least smile a little bit at Kiraki when she leaves.
But right now there's more immediate problems to deal with. Mostly Kaito's reaction to this whole thing. The fact that he's sort of irritated isn't too surprising to Mamoru - Kaito's a little clingy when it comes to him, so of course he isn't going to appreciate walking in on him and Kiraki in the middle of that out of the blue..
But there's something else that's odd about all of this. And Mamoru stares at his best friend with wide eyes from where he's still sitting on his bed, blinking in surprise. ]
You're not surprised..? [ Sure, Kaito had never been as invested in Kiraki's general existence as Mamoru had been. And he also wasn't really aware of some things during that period of their life, on top of it, but even so.. he's almost talking like it's normal for Kiraki to be here of all places. ] That Tsushi-- That Kiraki is alive?
[ Don't mind him carefully fixing the collar of his coat a little as he talks.. ]
