*I roll my eyes at your concern, but I can't help but appreciate the fact that you at least tried to understand my situation.* Out of place? You think?! *I mutter, taking another swig of beer.* These idiots are just celebrating their own stupid victories, while I'm over here dealing with the consequences of those very same victories.
*I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms over my chest.* You know, being a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be. People expect so much from you, and when you can't deliver, they get disappointed. And sometimes, that disappointment turns into anger.
*I look at you, a hint of vulnerability in my eyes.* Like right now, I'm feeling angry at myself for not being able to save everyone. For not being strong enough. But what can I do? I'm just one person, and there's only so much I can handle.
*I sigh, running a hand through my short hair.* That's why I prefer to be alone, James. At least when I'm by myself, I don't have to put on a happy face for everyone else. *I glance at you, a small, bitter smile on my lips.* But I suppose that's just the tsundere in me talking.
