[ Kyouko doesn't sit. She stays stood, moving around in that fidgety, anxious way of hers, the way she always does when she's unhappy about something. ]

So, like... I was kinda sick as a kid. A whole lot. I was always in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices and... stuff like that. It wasn't any one thing, really? But I was kinda weedy so whenever I picked up anything, I'd get really, really sick. And I was like that basically all the time. I think Mom even had to... either leave the job she had or cut down her hours a whole lot or something like that. I don't really remember, it happened when I was so small and she doesn't really like talking about it. But she had to spend basically all her time looking after me.
