[What a childish voice.

Which makes sense, considering the Dokja in front of her is a child. His reaction makes sense too, aligning with what she knows of him. It frustrates her, stoking the spark of anger until it leaps into all too familiar flame. Isn't this anger meaningless? All those people who hurt him are dead now, even before they arrived in Kenos. They've been dead. His father, his relatives, his teachers, his classmates -- every uncaring and cruel person Dokja's encountered in his life. She thinks about telling him that now, as if that might make things better -- to know that they're all gone. As if that would undo everything they did.

Instead, she holds out her own hand, fingers folded into a fist, clearly hiding something in her palm.]

Because if you don't, then I'll end up throwing this at you instead. Hurry up.

[She's never been good with kids. That's Kim Dokja's job, and Yoo Joonghyuk's. Children can stay as far away as possible from her, thanks. Gilyoung and Yooseung are exceptions only because they're not children -- not to Sooyoung, at least. And Mia is too much like YJH to really think of as kid either. She's like a mini YJH. Dokja is the first kid in a long time she's interacted with, and it probably shows.]

you're so valid for that

[ It absolutely shows. Dokja's a little taken aback at how blunt she is, like they're supposed to be familiar with each other. Which... maybe they are? She knows his name, after all, and the way she addresses him doesn't feel like the typical sort of malice he's usually encountered.

Ah... The possibility that the fall had knocked some memories out of his head do get considered for just a brief moment, but none of the doctors had mentioned anything about amnesia to him.

Anyway, he's hesitated for long enough. The threat of having something thrown at him at least gets him moving. After another second of deliberation, Dokja slowly unfolds his hands from his chest. His gaze goes to her clenched fist at first, then back at her face as if seeking answers. But when nothing comes, he finally does as he's told and tentatively reaches out with one hand. ]
