He's been saying "I'm fine" "I'm fine" "I'm fine" so much lately, he feels. Tenka's gone, "I'm fine". There are kids to look after, and he was never meant for that sort of thing, "I'm fine". And now this--
Really, picking fights with people should have been his first clue that he wasn't fine, not really, but he'd always been stubborn and a little slow to see what was right in front of his face, at least, when he didn't want to see it.
He can't seem to bring himself to type out those words, and certainly not to Milla, who has proven to be surprisingly courageous when it comes to dealing with the things that hurt, the emotional things that Sousei's really not sure how to handle himself. And the words he does type out are careful, letters picked out one by one.]
