Sora taps his fingertip against his plate a couple of times before shoving more sandwich into his mouth. Something's wrong but he doesn't really know how to put words to it.

But! Being told that he's still him somehow makes him feel better. Kairi told him to never change a long time ago, and that's either something that he's internalized or something he couldn't have helped regardless. This, surprisingly enough, simplifies a lot for him. "Thanks." Sora polishes off his first sandwich. He then puts his head down on the counter. "I can't believe it's still January. This is a lot."

He pauses, still face down on the counter. "I think I'm mostly Sora, but I still want you to call me kid because it's cool. Is that okay?"
