Kyo wasn't sure how to explain this one. He couldn't seem to remember exactly when he stopped talking, or exactly why. Had his problem become that bad? He remembered speaking to his mother, although he had been a bit quiet then, too. But now, he wasn't even sure he could speak. Realizing that Julius was still waiting for a reply, though, he struggled to find some words that would make sense on the paper.

Even that didn't seem to sound right. Perhaps it was a side effect of not having much of a grip on reality, after all.
