that question strikes him hard. his eyes widen a bit at being asked it, especially so hesitant from fushiguro. the boy he considered to be confident and, more or less, collected. sure, he had a temper and did some rash things, but overall, fushiguro was the grounding force between the two of them. so hearing this... there's almost a pang of guilt and he swallows, smile faltering a bit. his head drops down and he gives a nod. ]

[ this isn't a lie. unfortunately, there are still things that he would talk to nanami or gojo over fushiguro because of what they'd experienced together and what they know. things that he cannot deny from having happened. because fushiguro's his friend, he doesn't want to say all the things inside. truth is, he's never had anyone that he's relied on, so he doesn't know how to do it. he has to protect others, that's what he knows. ]
What made you ask that?
[ he... has to know. if fushiguro will tell him. ]
