Mostly it's whenever he remembers.

He also gets more mad about if I go to the arcade at all, I think.

[Honestly.] ...he says he doesn't trust the 4th at all, even though he's on his side.

[abysmalactor]

Well, that guy didn't trust any of us or Reiji either and he was still on our side, right?

[And then his face falls flat.]

Or was, whatever. He keeps insisting we're not allies anymore or some junk about leaving the Lancers or...something. Bleah.

[soft_focus]

...he's still mad at niisama.

...even though a lot of the things people said were bad about where I lived at home were mom's fault, [he mutters.]

[abysmalactor]

...Oh.

[He scratches his head.]

I dunno about what he's mad about, but haven't you already told him that it's Ms. Akaba's fault, or not?

[Yes, he's still referring to her with respect. She is in his social sphere, after all. :T]

[soft_focus]

[There is quite the dry look.] ...Would he listen?

[Well. Reira just sighs.] ...'s not my fault mom brought me from a bad place like that... ...and it's not niisama's fault that she wanted me to listen and fight and do all the things just like the soldiers wanted me before...

...it's not his fault I didn't go to school, or have a birthday either, but he never listens..!

[abysmalactor]

...okay, you win.

[That question doesn't need an answer. Instead, Shingo just blinks owlishly at all the backstory Reira's dropping on him.]

Huh...well, that explains why I haven't seen you before, at least...

[soft_focus]

Mnh.

...I've been here... ...a lot longer than I've ever known niisama.

[BOY HOWDY.]

[abysmalactor]

Heh...so less than a year, at least...
