After everyone had talked to Seiji, the group went back into the room where the others were waiting. Seiji stood off to the side, letting Bohai do the talking. He was too shy and too embarrassed to talk to everyone now. He just kept his head down, nervously chewing on his lip. Maybe people wouldn't notice him or stop talking about him.
"Hey guys," Bohai said, glancing at Seiji and then back at the rest of the room. "I'm sorry about earlier. I know it was probably alarming, but I just want you to know that it's been a really hard and stressful time for our clan. Especially Seiji. I hope you guys all understand. Seiji is actually one of the most caring, nicest guys I know. He would never intentionally hurt any of us."
"The coolest too!" Chonglin cried out, causing Seiji to give a small smile.
