[... whoa. THAT was unexpected. Seeing Shinsha smile, even if to themselves, was like seeing a baby bunny poke it's head out of it's burrowing hole, rare and somewhat endearing. Amane didn't even think they could smile, honestly-- though maybe the likelihood of him seeing it would have probably been higher if he wasn't such a pain to Cinnabun over in the Dream Sphere. That alone spoke volumes of how precious this Kongou-sensei was to them, more than words ever could.

Though that explanation of theirs... it brought up a whole slew of other questions in his mind, questions that he wasn't even sure he should bring up if he wanted to respect Shinsha's privacy and not tread on ground that he shouldn't. But there is one part that stands out the most to him, and it comes out before he can stop himself from saying it.]

... like how to actually live with these allergies, you mean? It's one thing to be sympathetic and considerate about it, but... no one really knows how hard it is to deal with these things day to day unless they've been through it themselves.

[... wait, crap. Was he projecting again? Shinsha even said that Kongou was fine with their illness, but years of people giving Amane well-meaning but naive advice on how to deal with his own health issues made his mind immediately jump to that conclusion. Maybe he should backtrack, for both of their sakes--]

Or... a-at least, I think so, anyway. Maybe it was different with your Sensei, instead?
