Shou's eye twitched at Shen-Mu's words. His previous sheepishness was gone as he glanced over her briefly. [color=a0410d][i]Who do you think you are? Mocking me? Rubbing it in? No one asked you..."[/i][/color] Averting his eyes, glaring off, he wanted to relax, but Yuki was still on him for the time being, though he finally let go. Shou let out a sigh of relief as he stepped off, before giving and uncomfortable shudder. [color=a0410d][i]Why does everyone have to touch me? This is the worst.[/i][/color] Of course, since he went off...

Wait, he resigned from the team too? And now he was facing down Boro. Along with everyone else, it seemed like. Wait a minute...

[color=a0410d][i]Ah. Ah! Aaaaah! I'm so stupid! Stupid stupid stupid![/i][/color] Grumbling to himself, he couldn't believe how short sighted he'd been. This whole voting nonsense was probably supposed to test them as heroes or something! And since all these wannabe heroes were so self-sacrificing, everyone was dragging each other back, like crabs in a bucket, even though the only thing outside the bucket was a steep drop. Probably.

Raising his head, Shouichi gave Shen-Mu a befuddled look, before shrugging. [color=a0410d][i]Eh? She's not being all condescending anymore? Or maybe she is, but she doesn't really sound snippy about it. I don't...[/i][/color] But then...he noticed she'd looked towards him. And...her eyes...

[color=a0410d][i]...She's [b]blind[/b]![/i][/color] Shou realized, jaw dropping in horror. He'd...he'd just [i]shrugged[/i] at a girl who [i]couldn't see[/i]. Internally cringing himself into a nether realm, he pulled himself back up as he realized he technically hadn't responded yet. Why was the worst thing always happening? But of course, he couldn't come up with anything good to say.

[color=a0410d]"M-maybe everyone. Th-th-th-this whole th-th-thing is a j-j-j-joke. Hu hu hu..."[/color] He capped it off with a forced laugh, only heightening the harshness of his clumsy comment.
