“You know…you’ve changed.” - @fantomevoleur

"Have I now." The expression he directs Kurusu's way is unimpressed. He's not sure if that observation is a good thing or a downright insult. Probably the latter. The saying itself is an uncomfortably familiar one that held negative connotations. Perhaps not exactly in those words, but close enough. He'd heard it when he stopped trying to appease foster parents, and even working as a detective lent himself to such comments when he'd let his mask slip.

Unpleasant. Co-workers would say. Harsh. Sae would admonish him. Difficult. Foster parents giving up on him. Such bratty behavior is unattractive. Shido knew how to pull the strings he bound Goro with.

So why should Kurusu be any different? With the poison that presents itself within Goro out full force he can't imagine him changing is supposed to be a compliment. He was well aware how insufferable and stubborn he could be. It was easier to bite the reaching out hands before they could strike.

And he hates the way his traitorous heart drops at the thought that this is it. That Kurusu will see him the same as everyone else has. Goro's not worth the trouble. That even as a rival he was too much.

Goro had already anticipated this, but it doesn't lessen the sting.

"Or perhaps you just don't know me as well as you thought you did." The smile that accompanies his words is sharp. It doesn't ground him as much as he hoped it would. "Sorry to disappoint."

Only he's not sure if he's apologizing to Kurusu or to himself.
