Kairos slowly opened his eyes, and laid his hands down at his sides. He opened his mouth slightly, almost like he was about to say something, but didn't in the end. Azami let out a small sigh.
"Hey, come on. Say it out loud, or it becomes unclear alright?"
He blinked a few times before taking a deep breath.
"I suppose the best way to put it is that I miss the simple times. I'm just really tired of always being required to overthink needlessly. It always feels like... nothing really needs to be so complicated. There are things you can't say, there are things you can't do. Ways you need to act, expectations of word choice."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Even though just being honest with each other would be better for everybody."
Kairos fell silent for a little while before flashing a bitter smile.
"I suppose... now that I think about it, you were right about what you said earlier. That the thoughts of animals are preferred. They don't overcomplicate things."
