[Otoha looks flat-out exhausted when he hops onto the network.]

The creepy empty-eyed kid who barely spoke was me. Yes, there's reasons for why. People who know me probably can guess.

For everyone else, I'm... sorry.

[Ugh, that feels weird in his mouth.]

If you wanna yell at me for being freaky I'm in the greenhouse for a while.

"... No, you wouldn't be, would you" Huh. ... I mean usually kids like fuzzy animals, so you can always lean on that." He smiles a little bit at her. "But... yeah. They can be... hard to deal with sometimes. Especially if you don't really know how."

"Some more than others." It's not meant to be a dig at him, but it is the truth. She had avoided interacting with most of the children after she'd found him.

[bakegarasu]

"... Yeah. I can see why I would make you immediately exhausted with kids." He would get tired of kids after dealing with him, too.

[kabano]

"Most of them weren't like you." Him she could deal with, even if he refused to speak to her. Or at least she could understand him better than other children. Maybe she was too old.

That's true, there's something about their companionable silence that just... fits. "... I'd hope not. Hopefully a lot of people just had... fun days."
