[It felt weird to hear Hijirikawa say things like that. Though it was also a little frustrating that he was mostly right. Ren had issues he didn't want to share with any of them. They would cause too much unnecessary worry or... the issues were just too private to be heard.

Technically some of them were Hijirikawa's business, but he was the last person Ren wanted to open up to. He could talk to Haruka, but... he didn't want to make her worry.]

I think everyone has a secret or two up in their sleeves... and even if I'd be hurting, it's none of anyone's business. I've learned to cope with it by now.

[Doesn't that sound reassuring and... yeah, it doesn't really fix any of the problems at hand.]

I'm not getting into any trouble.
