[ he sort of smirks because, well, he's thinking about something he's not going to actually tell him but he shakes his head.
WHY WERE YOU IN JAIL FOR THAT LONG WAIT. ]
No. I was normal for a while. [ the coffee, conveniently, is finished brewing so he turns away so he can grab a cup and also not look at him. ] And then a dick of a scientist used my body for human experiments to discover the key to immortality.
[ being here also means he's talked about it more and has more time to get angry that he's perpetually 12 years old forever. ]
[ it happens to every yakuza character idk what to tell you? ]
Wh... what the hell were you saying, then, about being a normal kid from normal Tokyo?! That's definitely not normal! What the fuck, man!
[ . . . oh. wait. once the shock wears off, he has the clarity to realize you don't just tell a guy his life is a fuck because he's pretty sure he knows that best of all!! cue him looking a little admonished even before shoma can react to it. ]
Er, sorry, that was... really fucked up of me to say, huh. You probably already know, but I, uh, have a bad habit of just sayin' shit without thinking about it beforehand.
anyway it's probably a really good thing that ichiban, like, immediately apologizes because his face in cause in that kind of awkward in-between where it's like he'd started registering the sentence and was about to respond, but he doesn't. rather, he just...frowns softly. ]
Yeah, it kinda was. [ he just comes out to say it because, yes? ] But it's okay, you're not the only person I know like that. You might be familiar with her.
[ dry. the amount of stuff mizuki just says sometimes... ]
...anyway, like I said, I used to be growing normally before the experiments. And even now I am mostly normal? I was a few weeks out from graduating from high school. I was thinking about college if I could get the money together. My sister used to work in Akiba. My dad--[ there's the very faintest and most brief verbal fumble here. ]--used to be a television host and a comedian. No magic powers, no monsters...nothing like that.
