(she's never been this polite, never this soft outside of bed. she... she means it.)
i'm just sixteen. due to my actual job and contract with the company, it's a liability to be this young, so i've been lying about it for years now. even if i'm not going to go back to prostitution and i'm nobody here, it's still a vulnerability to be this young in a place with so many dangers.
( That all makes a lot of sense. And it hurts to read that. Even if she knew logically, that he was still a kid when this shit happened just from the cagey way he'd answered her the first time. It's not exactly pleasant to think about someone else her age being trapped in bullshit like that. Shit worse than her own. )
that's what i thought, too. told everyone here a different name. seems stupid to let people know exactly who you are here.
( There are probably some people who she hasn't cleared up on that, actually. )
the boss'll tell you "you don't have to hide who you are", if you ever meet her.
i don't mind people knowing, but on my own terms. it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to have people being able to go behind me for that. i know this place knows, anyway.
( Again, all things she gets. She really just wanted to keep her head down and get through this whole thing without anyone knowing her. Or making her like them.
But it seems like this contract could take a long time and even Kate can accept that she needs to deal with people here.
Still. It sucks finding herself rapidly growing attached to people. People like Shin, and worse, people outside the Tamamo clan. That could cause a problem in the future. )
aye
( And she could ask questions here, probably. But because she gets it, she knows how annoying those questions are. How irritating it feels to be put under the microscope like that. It's one thing if people are happy to talk about themselves, as a worrying amount of people here are, but...
Shin's different. )
won't ask you anything else rn wanted to be sure, was all.
( Sure he wasn't trying to deceive her when he said he wasn't an adult. )

would you tell me how old you are?
( It's an oddly polite request coming from her. But when she said she got it, she meant it. If he doesn't want to, that's fine.
Reading that will have to be enough. )

i would rather protect myself.
