[Even though it was a few months ago now, his initial depression upon arriving is still pretty fresh in his mind, and he hates looking back on it . . .
He throws that out offhandedly, though. It's hard to dwell on shitty memories when you're having fun—which he is, even if he'd be an asshole about admitting it. (He doesn't need to anyway. He's an open book.)
This time . . .
He throws the same fastball as last time. He's not going easy on Kuramochi, per se—it's still a gorgeous fastball just like the last one—but he's curious if the same pitch will get by again.]
