If someone were to ask me directly, I would tell them. [Which is only true because Chizuru is here and isn't quite as quiet about the matter, BUT TRUE NONETHELESS.
As for her question - there are plenty of reasons that could be given, all with varying degrees of honesty attached. In the end, Kaoru settles for something that's truthful without being too revealing; something sympathetic. Simply stated:]
Humans fear what they don't understand. I would prefer to live peacefully, without the risk of having to fight for that peace.
