Why Can't You Get Out of My Head, Ayanokoji?!

" Let's stop here for now." He said to me as he got out from hid fighting stance.

I nodded while breathing heavily.

" Your speed has definitely improved and so did your reaction time." He said.

" That's....good..." I managed to say as I tried to relax myself.

" Yeah." He nodded.

I looked at my hands and thought back to the first day of Ayanokoji living inside my head.

I formed a fist as I sighed.

Even with context, that sentence still sounds wrong....

" It's time for you to wake up." He says and walks towards me.

" Guess so." I replied.

" I have a question, before you leave." He suddenly said.

" Can't you just ask that question when I wake up?" I said in a confused tone.

He shakes his head, " No. I want to ask you this face to face."

I shrugged, " Go ahead then."

Ayanokoji began to stare at me....

This....

The atmosphere had gradually darkened once more.

I stared back at him, though I was definitely a bit frightened by his eyes.

" What's your earliest memory from your childhood?" He asked.

Earliest memory? Why the hell would he want to know THAT?

Nonetheless, I decided to respond with my usual tone.

" I don't know."

" You don't know?"

I nodded , " I... don't remember much. I don't WANT to remember my childhood.  I thought you already know that I hated my past."

" Because of your foster parents?"

" Yes...."

Even with that answer, he still didn't let go of his stare towards me. It looked like he was thinking of something and he also looked disappointed by my answer.

" I see...." he finally said after a minute of silence.

The atmosphere had once again turned back to normal.

I released a breath that I didn't know I was holding once he averted his eyes.

" What was that questiom even for...." I asked him slowly.

He didn't respond.

I inwardly sighed at that.

Typical.
