[Her irritated expression starts to fade slowly, of course, as he goes on. Whatever he's called me over for must be severely troubling him, she realizes. He keeps changing topics, like a snake uncomfortable in its skin.

...

...She tenses just slightly when he finally says it, with the grace of someone ripping off a bandaid. Her fingertips scratch the surface of her cup from the way her grip reflexively, marginally tightened.

It loosens up a moment later, in that pregnant pause, and her expression is smooth when she pulls the straw from her mouth to answer him.]

...Yeah. I guessed something like that took place.

[livingimpaired]

You guessed something like that took place?

[ Kei repeats the words carefully, slowly. Indeed, he does not quite feel like himself in having to discuss such a matter with Rin. In his heart, he feels something coiling around it. His eyes widen a little as he realizes that he's disappointed. His posture immediately straightens as he understands the source of his disappointment. It makes his mouth run dry. I'm disappointed she's not more upset?

Yes, he felt something warming over her annoyance at how he cut her off each time to start another point. But he figured that it was only due to his anxiety about having to tell her the news. His fingers tremble a little around the cup, actually feeling nervous. Not about this topic, no. About what it is I'm feeling. The cup is lifted to take a small drink. Don't worry about it. Don't wonder about it.

He swallows but his throat still feels dry. ]

You received some sort of memory, then?
