Oh, you know him? [kind of a bitter laugh] Yeah, he has been different. He stopped treating me like a friend and started treating me like a little kid he has to take care of. Now he won't leave me alone and keeps telling me what to do, no matter how much I try to make it clear that I don't want to be his friend like this.
[and he's just so sick of it. he's not just some kid, and he thought Axel of all people would understand that]
