"Am I?" Reno asked, tiling his head slightly to look sidelong at Makishima. He thought for a time, smiled and looked away, more than a little pleased by the thought, but also just as unsure as his companion.

People regularly hit him and treated him like crap because they were just "done with him". Even his closest friends.

I don't want anything to taste like lies later on down the road, but my life is really crazy and kinda hard to explain, especially to someone who doesn't live a life anything like it." He considered his own words for a moment, mulling it over before turning to regard Makishima again.

Though I should probably tell him eventually..."
