Ah, then I'm glad y-- W-wha...? [ He cuts off suddenly, the surprise in his voice shining through as he forces himself to sound as shocked as possible. ]

I... I don't get it. Why would she say something like that? Akashi-chan... this is so like her. [ He sniffles, forcing that emotion to be telepathically sent alongside the words. ] I told you before, right? That we've known each other a long time. [ He just sounds worse and worse the more he keeps speaking. ] Back in middle school I told her that I liked her and she's been like this ever since. Wasn't eating one of my crayons enough? Why does she keep blaming me for things like this? I just want her to like me! Waaaaaah!

[ It's surprising how genuine he manages to make this sound through telepathy tbh, even if he's blabbering so quickly Akashi won't be able to get a word in until he's mentally wailing at him. ]
