Even setting aside the fact that he was concealing my presence for some reason, it didn’t feel right to destroy someone’s home and then just flee. I could escape anytime I wanted to. For now, I wanted to stay and apologize to him from the bottom of my heart.

It seemed like everything with the neighbor was going to be fine. They were speaking in whispers, perhaps so as not to disturb the others in the neighborhood. Their conversation probably wasn’t audible to anyone else.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Just let me know if you need anything,” the neighbor said.

“I truly appreciate your concern, thank you. Good night.”

“Good night. All there is to do when it’s dark is sleep. Make sure you rest too, buddy.”

The door shut, the neighbor left, and the young man sucked his teeth.

Jeez... What was that innocent act with the neighbor? I’m sure that neighbor would start to distrust people if he knew that the seemingly pleasant young man he’d just spoken to immediately sucked his teeth like that the minute they left.

I wanted to apologize, but I was starting to feel a little afraid. It was a bit embarrassing to admit this, but I was someone who tended to cope with serious situations by goofing off. Whenever I thought of doing something off-the-wall, this thought would be followed up with another about how it would probably be better if I didn’t do whatever weird thing my brain had come up with, but I always found myself doing it anyway.

Even just now, I was thinking about how apologizing with your entire body prone on the ground might be considered a rank above groveling on your knees, but I wondered if I could take that even further and do a handstand, which would therefore be the highest form of showing one’s respect. That was today’s ridiculous thought appearing in my mind.

If I was operating as usual, I probably would have just done the handstand apology. I would’ve positioned myself while I was still waiting for him to come back, so that he would return to me already doing a handstand. But in the end, I decided that I shouldn’t do that today and that I should maybe act serious for once.

Though I found this young man to be terrifying, I wasn’t paralyzed with fear or anything like that. I knew that if it came to a fist fight, I would definitely win—that confidence kept me from being nervous in most situations.

I’m not sure why, but my instincts—which are famous for being incredibly off—are telling me that I can’t let him think I’m a weirdo, despite the fact that he’s a stranger from the neighboring kingdom that I’ll probably never see again after this.
