Ken's no mind reader, but there's just something so unenthused about this response, compared to the other boys he's spoken to. He ventures a guess.]
Just so you know. And you can ignore me if I'm wrong.
But Kidou's been here since last August. Not alone, but six months is a long time to go without being able to see people you usually get to see regularly. I've watched him pretty closely over those six months, and he tries to hide it but he gets pretty lonely. He needs his friends.
So I'm glad that someone he's familiar with is here now. Someone who knows him a lot better than me, who can help look out for him. He's happy to have you. I'm sure of it.
