“Okay… I don’t like talking about the bad stuff adults do, either.” The child responded, since he wasn’t sure what she meant by burdening him in the first place. It just seemed to him like she probably didn’t want to talk about it, or at least that seemed how people who were older than him acted about that stuff.
Unfortunately, as Mitsuru continued, the child started to feel more and more lost in his attempt to understand if she was an adult or not. She used a lot of words like adults did, way more words than he knew… Like what were investiment decisions? Manufacturing? What was a multinational trading company? His expression was scrunched up again as he tried to work out a vague idea of what most of it meant…
In the end? It just made her sound more like an adult and less like a kid. But she seemed to be suggesting she wasn’t really that old? “So…” He started, still looking a bit perplexed. “You’re kinda both? Like you know a bunch of adult stuff that I don’t know, but you’re not a really old adult either.” Was that right? Was he getting it? Mono hoped so, anyway, because she seemed pretty nice, like most of the other adults around here, and he hoped she didn’t think he was stupid or anything for not getting it.
Mono had to agree that she was right. It was honestly really weird that the people who were brought here tended to be the ones that needed to get rid of the monsters whenever they arrived. “Yeah, I don’t think a lot of people came from here instead of people like us know what to do with the bad things.” Even outside the bad things, Mono wasn’t really sure what he was here for most of the time.
