Little crybaby knows how to make threats now?___hut up, Kenji.___hut up, Kenji,_ he repeats in a whiny voice, mocking me.

Kenji has a hand pressed to his mouth, desperately trying to suppress a smile. He__ shaking his head, holding up a hand in apology. And then he breaks, laughing out loud, snorting as he tries to muffle the sound. ____ sorry,_ he says, pressing his lips together, shaking his head again. __his is not a funny moment. It__ not. I__ not laughing

Kenji snorts.__hat__ because you__e not fragile,_ Kenji says. __f anything, everyone needs to protect themselves from you. You__e like a freaking beast,_ he says. Then adds, __ mean, you know__ike, a cute beast. A little beast that tears shit up and breaks the earth and sucks the life out of people.

Have you ever had a girlfriend, Kenji?" me?

She had come to him the fool, thinking herself the experienced one. After all, she had nothing to give that another hadn't had, nothing so far as she knew. But he'd taken what hadn't been there; what was his; what was promised.
