[ ivan isn't the first to tell souji the exact same thing. if it wasn't for compass, none of this would have gone down the way it did, and he can see that, he knows that, but kondou-san still saw what he's been hiding all this time. kondou-san doesn't need any outside influences to realize just that, and souji is too afraid to face him and clear things up.
he doesn't even think he deserves that much. ]
Kondou-san has been occupied with other things. [ other people, more like. it's not a lie. just... a tiny assumption, and a way for souji to avoid the subject. ] But did you need to tell me anything else?
[ This conversation is over when Ivan hears Souji ask him if there's anything he wants to add. Maybe there is. Maybe there isn't, but Ivan feels that he's overstayed his welcome... despite being in his classroom to begin with.
He has already made Souji's life harder than it needs to be. Ivan doesn't wish to add more to it. ]
I... um, no. Thank you so much for coming, and I'm sorry for disturbing you with my apology.
Then I'll be going. You can make it up to me later if you still feel so bad over it.
[ it's really no wonder why kondou-san took a liking to this kid, but souji doesn't want to think about that much longer. he takes one last look at ivan and slips away.]
[ Ivan stays where he is, as he is, until he can't hear Souji's footsteps anymore. And when he only hears the awful Void, he'll make his way back to the mattress to hope that Barnaby returns soon. Maybe Ivan could curl up next to him for while and take a nap, so he doesn't have to think about anything for a while.
