But Joshua did hear it, unfortunately. He smiles, tilting his head.

"Different in what way?"

Ryo looks away, trying to protect Al in whatever way he can.

"Doesn't he seem different to you, too?"

[leggierissimo]

Joshua gives a fond little chuckle, lifting a hand and brushing hair from his face.

"A little, yes. But what is it that you see in him that's different?"

[moderndayghost]

"He cares. About- people, and himself."

[leggierissimo]

"A rare quality in such a selfish world."

[moderndayghost]

"That's why you like him, too, isn't it?"
