"So ... have you forgiven me, Ken? You've snapped at me as usual, so does that mean I'm forgiven?" asked Kyosuke back. He cupped his hands in front of his chest while pleading with Kensuke to get an apology.
"Ken... I'm sorry, okay?" Kyosuke said back.
"No way! I'm tired of your childish behavior, Kyo! Remember, you're almost sixteen years old, but you've never behaved even a bit mature, Kyo!" There was a tone of disappointment in Kensuke's words.
Kyosuke took a deep breath and walked towards the window. His eyes started to get teary.
"I couldn't control my emotions at that time, Ken. Mama kept demanding that I be as good as you. She had high hopes for me, but I couldn't make it happen. Mama always compared me to you. I didn't like that, Ken. Mama did that not just once, but dozens of times until I got tired of hearing that sentence.
