[ He looks at this one, quiet. And he thinks of Nikaido, however fake as she might be, out there. The fact that this place deemed it necessary to assign her as his hostage.
It would've been easier if it had been Risu, because then he could be a whole lot more honest. He misses the guy, and feels pretty embarrassed to say he'd completely forgotten about him for those two, three years as Caiman. Replaced him with Nikaido, he supposes, even though by no fault of his own... or, really. If one would consider Kai 'him', then...
The answer is already there, in the form of Nikaido. 'Caiman' never existed, but she kept insisting like he still was that old guy. But it's better for her if she never knew him.
(That's a lie too. He regrets finding out the truth of everything. He wants to go back, hanging with her at the Hungry Bug.)
'They shouldn't,' he thinks, feeling a whole lot more tired suddenly. He flips this paper over, too. Something else... ]
