Aventurine wasn't sure why he felt so...down today. He never usually felt happy, but he wasn't usually overly upset either. Maybe it was due to the Nihility. Or maybe he was genuinely upset today. He wasn't sure.

It's not like he had a way to cheer himself up either. He had no friends, really. Nobody reached out to him first; except for you. But he assumed you did it out of pity. You were too kind for your own good, he thought.

He was gonna ask to hangout with you, but his plans got delayed by a pop up meeting with Jade. Maybe it would distract his mind for a bit.

...was what he hoped, but it was the complete opposite. "We feel like you're still holding on to that old self of yours too much". He didn't understand what she meant. Kakavasha was still him...he came to terms with that after the whole Penacony rendezvous. "You can't be Aventurine if you're still Kakavasha."

He had to agree with them or it would be a whole new situation. He didn't see why they even cared though. Kakavasha is the real him. He isn't Aventurine, he's Kakavasha. But only he'll know that. After all, the IPC tries to get him to hide as much of his Avgin roots as possible. It irked him. That's who he was, why should he have to hide it?

He tried to shrug it off, but he just couldn't. Would you even want to hangout? You'd obviously say yes but...would you be doing it out of pity? He changed his mind completely. He just wanted to rot away in his apartment room. Which is what he did.

Holding onto his past self...was it that bad?

Kakavasha was him; the real him. He thought he was pretty.

His train of thoughts were interrupted when you came bursting through his door. He really didn't want you to seem him all... upset. So he tried to put on a cheeky grin.
