He pushed aside wondering if it was strange and let himself melt into it a bit. He was already feeling bad enough without getting panicky over everything, he just wanted to relax a while.

He was no Light Yagami. He couldn't predict what his actions would be for weeks to come. He hardly even planned five minutes ahead. Though he planned on telling them the truth, he had no idea whether or not he'd have shown that off.
