[Nisei would emphatically reject the idea that he was forced. He is no one's victim. And he is Seimei's friend, even if it doesn't work both ways. That's normal, for a fighter, though it isn't something he's entirely comfortable with. Not caring is easier to explain than caring. It's a neutral space, in him, where you have a strong feeling. But he's not indifferent to what he did; he's undisturbed by it.]
[He wouldn't want you to insult Seimei, so he doesn't object. As long as you *know* you're letting your brother off the hook for, if anything, the more serious part of this, you aren't going to do anything too drastic to Nisei. As for being "sick" ...] I've been told that. But this is my true face, Ritsuka. I have many that get me in less trouble. But I don't have another one that's really me.

It catches the sun as it moves, glittering darkly. It's only a little thinner than the cord on Nisei's headphones, but it stands out as starkly as the name written on his other hand. Bonds saturated with love are ethereal; luminous and weightless, tracing impossible curves in the air. A chain like the one connecting him to Seimei looks like someone managed to condense enough steel to hold up a bridge into piano wire. It's as distinct as any other physical object, despite the gossamer shimmer of magic.]
No one starts out being able to see bonds. [He says softly. And as soon as he lets go of his, it fades into invisibility again.]
