    Apologies are a completely regular thing for you. Even if you feel you’ve slightly inconvenienced someone, it’s an earned “I’m sorry,” even if it was never really earned at all! You never minded much because it’s normal; you feel guilty, so you apologize. Simple.

    “Why do you do that so much?”

    But maybe some disagree. Those were the words spoken to you by Kunikida—seemingly out of nowhere. You had no idea what he meant but, of course, felt bad. And in the midst of trying to apologize and understand what he meant, he cut you off firmly.

    “No, stop apologizing. You didn’t do anything. Why do you do that so much?”

    …Huh. Nobody had ever said it like that. Sure, people have said, “You don’t need to apologize!” or “You didn’t do anything!” but of course, it was Kunikida who was firm. But why be firm about something so trivial like this?
