"Kenji has a hand pressed to his mouth, desperately trying to suppress a smile. He’s shaking his head, holding up a hand in apology. And then he breaks, laughing out loud, snorting as he tries to muffle the sound. “I’m sorry,” he says, pressing his lips together, shaking his head again. “This is not a funny moment. It’s not. I’m not laughing"
"Please,"he says. "I'm begging you to stop."I still. "I can't stomach your pain,"he says. "I can feel it so strongly and it's making me crazy- please,"he says to me. "Don't be sad. Or hurt.
