( it's the tone, the way his voice fluctuates due to komaeda's comment that puts his hands up as if he's been caught. this is how things normally work with him, he does his best to play with their emotions only to take a step back — a bad habit he has to break. yet, it's not even done in a matter where he'll leave them alone, instead he annoyingly chooses to do something else. )

Huh?

( he repeats the same question back, almost taunting him, but then he laughs. there's nothing but pure interest in komaeda's eyes, his breathing slightly shaky from the build-up of emotion before him. what type of hope will he show? )

A pathetic guy like me with a useless talent shouldn't make you this angry, really, don't waste your emotions on me..

( sighs... )
