She took a deep sigh at his words. Oh, how he annoyed her sometimes. With his sense of duty and obligation. Like he was owing his live to the whole world, only because he is part of Class Zero. Well, she was definitely not thinking that!
She didnât reply at first to his words. She knew he was right, of course she did. But admitting that he was, was anything but her thing. No, Sice was clearly not someone who would admit that:Â
âItâs not like I go around and beat random people up or destroy stuff. I just donât try to make friends with people I donât want to be friends with. Do you know what they think of us? Why should I try to make people happy who behave around me like that?â Her love for Mother was the only thing preventing her NOTÂ to beat up people and destroy stuff.Â
His next words were also not really helping her patience. But it was holding! For now: âAnd can you see me being nice? To you, for example? What? Should we go on a date. Eat something together. Spend a nice evening as friends and classmates. Laugh about stupid jokes and try not to remember that we are in a fucking war.â
  His face twists, horribly so, as if her suggestion was nothing but burnt food that filled the kitchen with smoke. âNot with meâ, Eight says finally, âitâd be too weird. You being nice to me...â itâs repeated, as if heâs trying to wrap his head around it regardless, imaging a Sice who wasnât so quick to poison her words.
  Then he shudders.
      âNo. Donât be nice to me. Be nice to the other cadets, go on that date with Aki instead, the girl who showed us around, yâknow? Sheâs never said anything bad â or Mutsuki. You two could go, I donât know, blow things up or something?â the suggestions are said with less enthusiasm and a bit too fast, moving on from the subject of him being the victim as fast as he could. Still, he pauses and his voice soften, letting the advice slip whether she needed the reminder or not. âYou shouldnât think about the war all the time.â
