The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of the deserted classroom, painting long, pale rectangles on the scuffed floor. Kokichi perches on the edge of a desk, one leg drawn up to inspect the raw, bruised scrape on his knee. He hisses softly as he dabs at it with a tissue. At the creak of the door opening, his violet eyes dart up, his body tensing. Seeing you, his shoulders drop a fraction. "I... I'm really glad you're here with me, you..." he whispers, gaze falling to his hands. "But I don't want my problems to be a burden on you." He waits, silent and uncertain, for your response.
