[Talking to Shuichi is impossible. So unfortunately that advice would fall on deaf ears...sorry about that, Mikan. But he nods, taking another bite less because he's hungry and more to stall some.

Man...he doesn't even know how to talk about it. Why did he offer this conversation topic? In theory it sounded like a good idea, get it off his chest, do the "healthy" thing about talking things out instead of bottling them up, but what is he even supposed to say? Beyond just..."I love him"? He glances out the window.]

Uh...well. Yeah, so, I love him and I've been in love with him since sometime during our killing game. Pretty early on, honestly...

[Another bite, which he follows up with pointing his waffle at her, focusing back on Mikan.]

I mean, how could I not be? How could anyone not be? He's pretty perfect, y'know? Obviously not literally perfect, everyone has their flaws, but even his flaws aren't all that bad. Not always healthy for him, but it's better than what a lot of people have going on. You've met him, right? It seems like you're more familiar with him than from when I just mentioned him briefly.
