Rio drank the rest of the tea before placing the empty cup onto the table and turned her face away. A smile was trying to force it's way onto her face, but she was trying to push it back down. She was fed up with her emotional tendencies and wanted to push them away... But Kaizo was making it so hard for her to. After taking three deep breaths, she moved her face back and looked down. She squeezed her eyes closed, not really knowing what to say. Stop being so nice to me? Stop making me happy? She was just so used to feeling depressed from the loneliness, from being so powerless and from being around people that were like stone that this, having Kaizo around, made her feel complicated, happy even. However, Rio felt as though she didn't deserve to be happy... She was weak, she needed to feel bad and work harder... Well that's what she thought, unhealthy maybe, but she couldn't help her thoughts and feelings, which she hated. Rio didn't know what to do, she needed to relax, but she wasn't going to while staying here. Standing suddenly, she still refused to look at Kaizo. .

I assume you know a good one to go to right?" Kaizo then stacked their cups and took the dishes to the sink and began washing them as to help Rio out a bit...he didn't want her to do everything...after all he was the guest
