[Simon had grown an inch or two since Kaito had last seen him. He smiled, shyly, guiltily, before shrugging.]

Sorry I made you get up. I forgot my key.

[Honestly, relief spread over him. He'd wondered if Kaito would even still be living here, and if he was knocking on the door of a stranger's place. A little nagging feeling inside of him wondered if Kaito had gotten a new roommate in his absence...

Three weeks was a long time.]

[indemnifies]

[He grimaces. He was waiting for that... and he has no real way to explain the hours and days and weeks he spent there... Nor any desire to revisit it.]

... Not right now.

[His stomach grumbles at the thought of food. He blushes just a bit and shakes his head, again with a nervous smile.]

[he laughs]

It's been a while since I had anything decent. It doesn't really matter.

[but he stares at the table for a few seconds.]

What's this?

[indemnifies]

[He blinks at it for a few more seconds. He knows he shouldn't ask but thinking about Kaito's work has him curious again. He's silent for a few seconds, staring at the disassembled invention.

And then he turns to the older boy, a serious expression on his face.]

Kaito?

[indemnifies]

... How much about me do you tell him?

[His head is bowed, eyes hidden. He's uncharacteristically serious.]

[indemnifies]

Start talking. Tell him anything and everything. Tell him where I make deliveries, how much money I made, tell him what I say in my sleep.

[Simon can't take it anymore. He doesn't care what Mewtwo knows, because in the last twenty two days he's realized Ganon is even worse.]

[indemnifies]

Even if he comes after me because of it, even if Ganon kills me, tell him everything I say from now on.
