Chapter Text
Today was different.
Not the first time, but out of the usual.
I was simply teasing my best friend, as one does. He clearly wasn't amused, and I was aware of that.
He kept on insulting me though, but that's to be expected.
But it was too familiar.
"You're an apathetic monster and I hate you."
That felt different.
Where have I heard this before..?
Oh.
How you torment me still, Kotoha.
That's silly, Kotoha is gone.
We ate her, remember?
I... I don't like this.
Why?
This isn't normal.
Just... relax, put your mind to ease....
It doesn't matter.
It's an annoying itch, it'll go away.
It didn't go away.
It stuck onto him, like glue.
He found himself constantly thinking of those words.
"monster" "I hate you"
These must be feelings.
Hmm, how strange.
No, this can't be possible.
I don't feel anything.
Especially nothing for Lord Akaza.
I don't feel a thing.
I don't have emotions, that's how the story is told.
Right?
