I'm not really the person to ask, either, [ she replies, because she's not. Happiness never sticks, and Kano's never identified with it as a state of being before either. Something more of an ideal than a reality; he knows what it looks like but not how to feel it. Smiling and laughing are supposed to mean you're happy. Sugary food and drinks are supposed to make you happy. If everybody else around him is happy, he tells himself that's happiness. ]

But my opinion and yours hold the same weight. Who knows which is right... It doesn't matter.

[ Kido motions for Toki to follow her, back up the stairs; not that she cares if he walks away after, but she needs him to at least not stay down here. ]
