"satoru, i know that look. talk to me."

satoru lets out a huff, leaning his head back. he crosses his arms, tilting his chair back to lean back on its 2 back legs with his feet up on the desk. "i just... i dunno. i don't want you to think i'm cynical or something."

"cynical?" you ask, leaning your hip against the desk.

"yeah," he says. "and, like... i don't want to bore you or anything, you know? like, yeah i'll dedicate my whole life to you and i'll literally die with you when we're old... but i don't want my loyalty to bore you, y'know?"
