Confiding

After that, since Siglica was Mo Hei's friend, Mo Bai stayed and listened as she talked at length.

When it came to talking someone through their troubles, Mo Bai was nowhere near as adept as Lu, Hess, or Losera.

So he simply listened.

He only opened up to his own friends. He wasn't good at sharing his troubles with Siglica, someone he barely knew, or helping her sort through hers.

Then again, calling them strangers wasn't entirely accurate. They had met once before.

Back by the Transit Spine, she had suspected him of trying to hurt her friend and had come at him with a Dagger.

Yes, it had been a terrible first meeting.

"Little Hei... Has Little Hei ever told you what she thinks of me?"

After Mo Bai had listened to Siglica talk at length about family and friendship, she brought the conversation around to Mo Hei.

"As for Hei..." Mo Bai glanced at Mo Hei, who still lay in the hospital bed.

He didn't know how deeply she cared for Siglica as a friend during the days she had spent at the Academy after losing her memory.

Whenever Mo Hei met him at the Academy, she only talked about things concerning the two of them.

And when it wasn't about that, they talked about Cursed Energy and Jujutsu Sorcerers.

Looked at that way, Siglica was Mo Hei's friend, yet she had never even come up in conversation.

Did that mean Mo Hei didn't care about her?

When Mo Hei was with him, she had never mentioned the Roy girl at all.

"Hei is grateful to you. You and Dania and the others were there for her when she felt helpless."

Mo Bai said it
