[Well. Realistically, they probably won't be "sent" home. He assumes they're going to have to escape while the House's back is turned, so it'll probably just be a matter of grabbing whatever they can grab before they go. Kind of like choosing which possessions to flee with while your house burns down. But as Jun says, they can always acquire new possessions and make new memories (especially once he has access to his bank account again!), and he smiles at the thought of Jun winning him "a bunch" of plushies on an arcade date at home.
But now onto the memory-sharing.
Jun begins discussing his early childhood, and Hiyori sits politely and listens. The memory he starts off with consists of him... watching a Jin Sagami video. Of course, that would be one of his earliest memories. While other kids watched P*kemon and Dor*emon, Jun-kun watched Jin Sagami perform. And his thoughts during that time were surprisingly pure. He didn't become an idol out of "revenge" on behalf of his dad, or anything like that. Even back then, he wanted to make people smile.
Though it's sad to think his parents gave him no choice in the matter. Just like Nagisa-kun, Jun's path in life was decided from an early age. It's something Hiyori can't relate to personally, seeing as his older brother got all the responsibilities associated with being an heir heaped on him. Still, Jun wanted to become an idol for his own reasons, too. He truly was inspired by those Jin videos; watching and learning from them wasn't something he hated. That makes things better, doesn't it?
But he knows enough to know that the story of Jun's childhood isn't about to take a positive turn. And sure enough, it doesn't.
Uncharacteristically quiet, Hiyori takes in the whole story without interrupting. Sitting it out through Jun's pauses, waiting for him to sip tea. He doesn't actually use the pen he's holding. Nor does he break eye contact. But his eyes do become overcast as Jun talks about his parents flying into a rage and his mother crying. His lips thin out, expression somber rather than cheerful.
Even adults can have inner turmoil and carry bitter regrets. But to burden a child with those feelings, and to lash out all because he asked a simple question...
There's a short pause after Jun's question at the end. But he does his best to respond without sounding too heavy.]
I guess that depends on what you want. That probably was enough detail. But if you're "not done yet," then it sounds like maybe you should go on.
[He smiles. It's small, and there might be something a little sad about the look in his eyes. But it's meant to be encouraging and to show he's unbothered.]
You don't have to hold back for fear of depressing me. I'm someone who always stays bright and cheerful, just like the sun. Remember?
