[I'm betting neither of you got "excited" over cuddling, and that's probably a requirement, right?]
[Why hadn't he fully tested that assumption? Shuichi and Kaede's failure to fill the cuddling square their first night here had proved that arousal needed to be involved, but...had Kokichi really just stopped there? Did he really not test it further? Had he really not attempted to figure out the finer intricacies of the game he'd been so eager to play?]
[Apparently not, because that look says all too clearly that he did something he regrets. Something that he wouldn't have done, had he known about that particular stipulation. Something pretty bad, judging by how ashen Kokichi's face has become.]
[It seems like every time the two of them talk, Kokichi just gives Shuichi at least one new reason to worry about him. Though this meeting is by far the most concerning yet. The boy is an absolute mess and Shuichi can only speculate on the reasons why and how he's come to be in this state.]
[For a brief moment, Shuichi hopes that maybe, just maybe, Kokichi will finally take him up on his offer to talk. That maybe Shuichi will finally have some idea of what's really bothering him...]
[But, of course, he doesn't. Despite the all-too-obvious concern in Shuichi's voice, Kokichi just puts his smiling mask back in place and shifts the conversation away from himself. Of course he does. Why have a serious conversation about feelings when you can make fun of the wimpy detective?]
