Calidi fell back again when Clay moved. Before he knew it, he gun had skittered across the rocky ground, far out of his reach. His eyes rested on it for a moment, before he finally turned to look Clay — yes, Clay — in the eyes.

“You think it’s because of you?” He mouthed, almost incredulous at the fact. Then Calidi shook his head frantically and began to stand back up. “No, no, I’d— it’s not your fault. I’m sorry for making you think that.” The dread he had been feeling ever since he’d first saw Clay felt like it was piling lead into his chest, making it heavier and heavier. There wasn’t getting out of talking now. He... he didn’t want to go with Clay thinking it had something to do with him.

Briefly, he tried to listen back for a specific girl’s voice before realizing that oh, right. Mirai was quiet now. He was making his own decision, his own choice now.
