Why is it that their first option is to always run from what they're feeling?

Hm...?

KAITO, where were you?

Do I even have to say...?

You went to see Kanade, didn't you...?

Why did you ask if you already knew the answer?

Unless...
You're here for something else.

You didn't come with me when I said that I was going over to see Kanade...

Which probably means you were eavesdropping on our conversation.

So what if I was?

I sat back quietly and didn't interrupt.
Or did you want me to butt in?

...

I'm through talking to you.

My, what an unfortunate turn of events.

You shouldn't sound so excited...

I'm not excited per se.
Didn't I just say that it's an “unfortunate” turn of events?

KAITO just can't help himself, can he?
I should see if I can smooth things out between them.

...

Is there something you'd like to say, MEIKO?

Not really...
I just feel that the person who sowed these seeds is responsible.

*Sigh*

How's your drawing coming along, Rin?

I've only made a little progress.
It's so hard to draw things up close and far away.

Oh, KAITO.

Hmph...

Wait, Rin, where are you going?

KAITO, did something happen between you and Rin?

No.

...?

Hello, KAITO.

Rin seems awfully dispirited.

She was so worried about Kanade too...
But a certain someone decided to eavesdrop and rob her of a chance to listen and help.

She told you...?

She did.

So, what do you plan on doing?

About what?

Rin.
Are you going to keep letting her feel this way forever?

She's just being stubborn is all.

But wouldn't apologizing to her be the adult thing to do?

You seem to be enjoying all of this.

Oh? You still haven't answered my question.

I have no intention of entertaining you.

Oh, that's a shame.
