Great, it was hard enough keeping Mitsuru fed. The last thing he needed was someone else to babysit, but he'd be lying to himself (which he was taking pains not to do anymore) if he tried to convince himself he didn't enjoy taking care of others. It was something he'd always thrived on, even if he didn't have the appearance of a worrier. In fact, most people saw him as scary and intimidating, and that was definitely the persona he put on, but mostly what it allowed was for him to keep an eye on people without being bothered. He liked his solitude.

"Yeah, sure." He had to wonder how they knew they were from the same world, though. "So...you know the Kirijo group?"
