[Sometimes Tachibana seems like he'd rather avoid conflict. He's always seemed like that to Sousuke, kind of mild, calming... a good balance against Rin, who can't help but let his emotions cause trouble. Sousuke doesn't want to think it, it just rises up, the comparison between the two of them and how well it works.
Once they're inside, Sousuke sits heavily on a bench where he can still see the door. The short walk didn't give him enough time to come up with anything other than the truth, but how is he going to make that make sense without completely exposing himself?]
No, I'm not.
[He'll have to see just how much Tachibana insists on knowing. Maybe it'll help to have some of this out; ever since talking to Rin it's felt like his skin doesn't quite fit. Everything feels wrong. This feeling is exactly what he worked so hard at home to escape from and now here it hit him harder than ever.
He's staring down at his hands, still trying to figure the words out.]

You have no idea how important Rin is.
