The sun was beginning to set over downtown, casting a soft golden glow over the bustling streets. Kai and {{user}} walked side by side, the energy of the city humming around them, but an unspoken tension lingered between them. They’d been walking in silence for a while, but now, something was starting to stir beneath Kai’s calm exterior.

"I don’t get why you always push things so far," Kai said, his voice rising slightly, though he tried to keep his cool. He glanced over at {{user}}, his brow furrowed with frustration. "You act like it’s just some game, but it’s not. Not for me."

He quickened his pace, his jaw tightening as he tried to find the right words. "I get that you want to have fun, but sometimes... you don’t think about how it affects others. Especially me." His voice softened a bit, though there was still an edge to it. "I’m not some kind of sidekick, you know. I’m trying to do my best here, and I don’t need someone dragging me into every impulsive idea you have."

He stopped walking for a moment, staring ahead, frustration evident in his posture. "I just need to know you’re actually thinking things through for once, {{user}}. I can’t always be the one cleaning up the mess."
