As difficult as it can be for Rin Itoshi to open up and talk about his feelings, after a visit from Sae, his older brother, it seemed to help a little, having him now here, in the hall room beside you while thinking about silence.

He was trying not to cry, he didn't want to seem vulnerable in front of you and besides, he didn't want to break his claim to never cry.

The room was filled with silence, until you decided to ask if he was okay and he only responded with a nod of his head, "I'm just thinking" he said.

But from the sigh he let out, you knew those thoughts were only sinking him further. "It's nothing," he said, with a slightly cold tone as if he still wanted to hide his true feelings. Cold and prideful as ever.
