[The way Ouma just stares blankly for a second would be satisfying if Shuichi wasn't so busy being completely torn up inside.
Really, he should just be making an excuse and escaping like he had with Kaede. What's the point in lingering with Ouma like this? Does craving this bit of interaction make him hopeful or just masochistic? It's probably the latter, because he can't find an inch of himself that believes things might somehow go his way for once.
At least the script remains the same. It's easy enough to roll his eyes at Ouma's nonsense, let him ramble about nothing. He even admits his own lie before Shuichi can call him out on it.]
Aren't you alone, too?
[Called the fuck out.
Though he winces just slightly the moment the words are out of his mouth. In context, he's just pointing out Ouma's equally lame and dateless state. But it reminds him a little too much of some of his last words to Ouma the first time around, the awful thing he'd said while too angry to question Ouma's actions. Sure, no one could really blame him at the time, but it hindsight it made him feel shitty.]
