Because the Souji that's rooming with me now isn't the same one that was here before December.

[ He chews on his lower lip a bit. ]

I know, it's... weird like, they were the same guy but there were... little things. He didn't remember certain people, we didn't have all the same memories. He was also very into a few girls and while he said he was bi, I'm pretty sure he preferred girls. So I just... kept it to myself and wanted him to be happy. Seemed like he was happier with them, so.

[ There was a bit more to it than that, like the distancing and stuff. But that was a lot more information that would require even more explanation and it wasn't something he wanted to talk about again at this time. ]

Then, a couple weeks after those kidnappings, he disappeared. So I never got to tell him even if I'd wanted to.
