"What's that supposed to mean? Why are you hesitating to answer?"
At Suga, who was impatiently waiting for him to continue, Gale scratched his forehead and let out an awkward laugh.
"Like I said, Zion is Zion. Even as a kid, all the things you see and hear about him now, that's exactly how he was back then."
"And what exactly does that mean?"
Gale lowered his head. He felt it wasn't something that needed explaining. Is this what people meant when they said love makes you stupid? Had Suga really forgotten Zion's reputation? It reminded Gale of the time when Zion had been stationed at IHPS Australia, the same place where Suga had once served as a soldier.
"Zion moved to IHPS Australia as an instructor, right? There's no way you didn't hear about his reputation there, or see for yourself how he acted."
"Yeah, you're right. That's exactly why I'm asking what he was like when he was a kid."
"And that's why I keep telling you Zion is Zion. Even back then."
