Mmm...not quite. He's not the kind of person who needs an excuse for something like that. [When he wants to spend time with someone, he just...says so or straight up does it. Not a tsundere, that Kaito Momota.] But the training wasn't really for him, you know? It was for me and Harukawa-san. We were the ones who needed to change ourselves.
[That's the simplest way he can think to put it. It's weird, trying to explain training time to someone else.]
That and... [His expression falls a little bit.] He was really sick. I think that may have played a part in it.
[No, she doesn't really get it, but she isn't going to argue the point, either. She lifts a hand and gently strokes Shuichi's cheek when his expression falls, her own shifting to one of sympathy.]
I had no idea... he never looked sick, when I knew him.
Well, that was the thing...he never really looked sick. That's why he was able to hide it from the rest of us for so long. I think even Momota-kun himself didn't know about it, in the beginning.
[Shuichi still isn't even sure what he actually HAD. If things had gone according to script, they were supposed to assume he had the meteor space plague or whatever but...that was all fake. So why WAS Kaito so sick? Was that something from his previous life, or was that something Team Danganronpa gave him for the sake of keeping the plot interesting?]

Well... when he finally comes here, I'm sure they'll be able to cure him! I haven't seen any sick people on the whole station.
