MK always wants to be the one who his friends turn to. To help them, protect them, and be the one they can lean on. Somehow, somewhere, he can't find it in himself to open up. To rely on them. He felt like he had to be the strong one. Thinking about it, talking about it, it made it real. He'd rather pretend it wasn't real at all.
Red Son's words hit hard when the little nodes are attached to his temples. He looks at his friend. Listening to Red Son, of all people, say that just hits different. Mei could say things but they didn't penetrate well. Somehow, Red Son did. Having his friend who was usually more standoffish and not so prone to opening, suddenly offer to listen just hit different.
"It's my monkey form. It comes out and I can't control it. I feel different. When I was in the scroll, the curse talked to me. It became like another me. Or like me. It wasn't me. But it made me realize...I don't think about stuff when it's sad or I don't like it. I never thought of where I came from or who my parents are. Like ever. And...I'm worried I'm going to ruin things if I use that power. Do bad things if I use it. And that scares me."
