[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"The children don't want to be caught," Nobuo said, using his own sleeve to wipe off whatever dampness was left on the two's cheeks. It was no surprise how these two ended up with such personalities, after knowing what they went through. But still, they were still just children caught up in something bad. Though, Nobuo was annoyed to hear just how stubborn Fumiko was. He wondered just exactly compelled him to love such a person in the first place, in his past life and as Yuu, "The Fumiko and I are vastly different. I was told about some of my past. While I don't like how it went, I accept that it happened. I feel fortunate that they are turning a blind eye to what I've done when I was Yuu. I must have turned into a horrible person after everything they've done." He thought, maybe if he did go insane, then it was plausible that he did fall in love with Toshi. Though, Nobuo blinked at the reaction, "Alright, then I'll do my best to avoid telling her. After all...I don't know if she'll decide to throw scrolls at me again..." Yuu rolled his eyes after remembering that. And actually, he felt more compelled to avoid Fumiko altogether despite agreeing to have her help him with his studies to avoid the harsher tutors. At least the tutors would be predictable, and Fumiko being the one who was unstable if he said anything out of the ordinary.
