Katou flat-out wouldn't believe Kira's truth, not as a thirteen year old whose life experiences, though decidedly unpleasant, were still mundane. Though he believes in spirits— not that he'd fucking tell anyone that— he wouldn't believe that this guy was just a sword in a meat suit.

Who'd want to waste part of their eternity as a thirteen year old in school?

At Kira's question, Katou shrugs. He hadn't actually planned farther than "Get a cigarette out of this guy," as far as "He seems interesting to me" goes.

"I dunno," he said honestly. "I was gonna hang out with Youji and a couple of the other guys after school, if you wanted to join us."
