It’s been done.
Ichiro knew this for so long, and it ticked him off that Kuko felt the need to remind him. It’s been done for 2 years now, it’s over, there’s nothing left--
Except the residual pains in his chest that never went away, but he’ll be damned if he ever said that out loud, much less to Kuko.
He feels his teeth grit, but bites back everything he wants to say. Ichiro knew he’d say something he’d regret, so he took a deep breath, then folded his arms over his chest. “Outcast, huh...” he mumbles under his breath. “I won’t try to change how you feel about me, Kuko. I just want to know why. We were supposed to change the world together, you know. What happened to that?”
