He should have anticipated this punchline, he realizes in retrospect, what with the whole "becoming the thing you hate" commentary. And "humans being humans." Now that he's paying attention, he fancies he can feel the self-loathing coming off the boy (he still thinks of Kazuya as a boy) in waves. So he's careful to keep his features composed, maintaining an expression of interest and anticipation even after Kazuya drops his bombshell, as if to imply, "is that all?" And then, when it's clear Kazuya is finished, he leans back and says pleasantly: ]

[ He glances at Kazuya's ham sandwich, and then pointedly at the piles of food, and then back at Kazuya. ]
