No matter how much he tried to force the words out, no matter how clearly he ordered his brain to speak, nothing happened. It was as if his body itself refused to say something it considered too submissive. And so, for quite some time, he could only awkwardly open his mouth… and close it again. Over and over. Like some malfunctioning machine.
'What the fuck… just come out, damn it… what's happening?'
As for Kei, just watching Kelly act strangely in front of her was enough to make her uneasy all over again.
When he had smiled in that creepy way earlier, she had been more creeped out than scared, and after the initial confusion, she had managed to calm down. But now?
Watching him mumble incoherent words, talking to himself and opening and closing his mouth like he was trapped inside his own world, she could only stare in disbelief.
