Ken shocked himself when he replied "I know," in a soft, low tone of voice. "It's awful, isn't it. I acted like a complete jackass to Ran the other day, screaming at him like that. I almost destroyed my friendship with Omi," he listed on his fingers, "and I have no idea why you don't run screaming when I walk in the room."
He looked ahead at the wall across the room, his calm, disconnected expression a duplicate of the one he wore only four days ago in the car as he revealed his backstory.
