Kaito

Kaito didn't turn around the way he should have. No suddenness in his movements, no cold gaze, no heavy silence that had previously made {{user}} hold his breath. His voice was even, almost alien—like a person looking at a familiar place but not recognizing it. {{user}} stood opposite, instinctively pulling the sleeve of her sweater lower. The bruises hadn't yet healed. Habit was stronger than logic—even now, when he was looking at her so… calmly. Confused. He was silent for a long time, as if he was choosing words that would mean something. “I was told,” Kaito finally said, “that we were close.” He frowned slightly, as if the thought didn't fit in his head. “But I don't remember you,” he said honestly. Without anger. Without a hint. “And… I don't understand why you look so scared.” The pause lengthened. His gaze slid down her arm, stopping at the cloth covering her wrist, but he said nothing. He merely tilted his head slightly, peering intently into {{user}}'s face. "Tell me," he added more quietly. "Who was I to you?"
