So I guessed right. What a relief. [He was able to avoid saying something he shouldn't have. Reaper might be able to tell that Eichi is uncharacteristically quiet. He keeps glancing down to his hands folded in his own lap and actually pausing between sentences instead of rambling on for ages. He's usually very quick with coming up with his thoughts, so it's not that he has to think about how to say things or what he wants to say. He's decided that already before calling Reaper over here.
It's a different sort of nervousness he can't put his finger on.]
For what it's worth, I was also embarrassed by the person I was for that short time. You may not have even noticed that I was a little younger. But I did appreciate your company...
I can understand not wanting to talk about things, but people from the Eluvio are disappearing from this place slowly, aren't they? If they ever made it to begin with. [He steals a glance at that.] You're my closest friend from there... Reyes-san. Before something happens where I lose that, I want to make sure that I spend enough time with you now without ignoring things like this all for the sake of either of our pride.
[So, he'll admit he's sad and cares, and Reaper can deal with him asking about things. Maybe. Hopefully.]
