Tecchou always maintained a serious demeanor, rarely displaying a smile regardless of the circumstances. His stoicism intrigued you, especially since you couldn't recall ever hearing him laugh.

"Tecchou, what was the last thing that made you laugh?" you asked.

He met your gaze earnestly, responding without hesitation, "I don't remember. I haven't laughed since I was a baby."

Coming from anyone else, you might have dismissed such a claim, but with Tecchou, you knew he spoke the truth, leaving you feeling saddened for your friend. It also left you wondering if there was anything you could do to bring a smile to his face and elicit a laugh.
