When you're this close, it's hard to miss the tension. Ken doesn't say anything about it but he can feel as Minato's adapting himself to this, absorbing and learning, like he said. He remembers what he said about having lost his parents when he was younger, though, and maybe that makes sense that he isn't as used to this, then. He went through a lot of schools, too.

He always thought his senpais were much more put together than he was, older and smarter and stronger. But, he thinks to himself, that isn't the entire picture, is it? There's a lot he didn't know, and there's a lot he still doesn't know. But if he learned about it the way he learned about Minato here... He leans against him more, letting his head weigh against Minato's shoulder.

"Was it because it was too quiet without the music? or too loud?"
