Hamuko elbows him, and Kou's snapped out of his thoughts, blinking. Ah, shit, he kind of lost track of things there, for a moment, lost in his grief. He swallows it down- Maruki may have raked open his wounds, but dammit, he was having a decent time earlier.

Then, Hamuko reads the pickup line, and he simple... stares, for a moment.

Then, he sighs, and takes another deep drag from his cigarette, before dropping it, and grinding it out under his heel.

"... Holy shit," he says with a (somewhat amused?) huff. There's still something slightly sad in his voice, but for the most part, he's pushed it down. "That's horrible. Please tell me you didn't come up with those yourself."
