It did not take his scanners or sensors to know that his friend felt uncomfortable. That fact saddened him a little. As long as he has know Blank, he had never know the mage to be a "social butterfly." The mechaman remembered the time just before Blank had met Scarlet, it was a year or so after... Minette. His 'younger brother' felt being self destructive and doing jobs for scum was the best way to go about everything.
During that time, the soul-machine had ran various scenarios of what would have happened if Blank had continued down that path. None of them were pretty, some were downright terrifying. Instead, the mage surprised Johnn when he found his One. His Grace. At that point, Johnn concluded that there was nothing that could separate the two of them.
Though, those thoughts did cause Johnn to feel a new cold pass over within himself. Even if he knew better.
The mechaman blinked, Blank was right, he should access the Network more than he has. "I assumed she gave me a different name, but I did not want to push the issue. I do not know what I did, but she did not want to speak with me." And Johnn felt regret over that interaction. Once more, he would blame his appearance. Perhaps there was something more to it? His mind did wonder off to what would have happened if he had stayed and spoken more with Suzume.
