"Oh..." It was nothing that she didn't know already. But it was still pretty awkward hearing it from someone else. She decided, chickenning out of this line of questionning, that maybe it was best she didn't ask what happenned. She wanted to know, maybe if she knew then theyre would be something she'd be able to say to help, but she didn't really want to make anyone upset by asking too much.
"He's nice." She said, shaking her head. "He's been nothing but kind and helpful to me for a while now."
The conversation continued to be deeply uncomfortable. Maeko couldn't really think of much to say that would help at all, Kanaye had never really said much that contradicted the 'doesn't really care' thing.
"I'm sure he does care." She answered eventually. "Isn't it normal to be awkward with your parents at this age?"
