"Hm..? Ah..!" Satou's smile nearly slipped off her face, if that was even possible, when he hit the nail on the head. Her instinctive reaction was to wave her hand again and giggle nervously, responding to his comment with a lie. "N-no way, no way! Someone like me is too stupid to be psychic!"
It felt wrong to reassure him with a lie. Saying that out loud reminded Satou of what a horrible girl she was to tell a lie so quickly. They'd just agreed to be friends and she'd immediately followed it with something so unfair.
"But um...!" Even so, she was a bit hesitant to tell him. In her home world, witches were hunted and killed by certain people. Even someone you trusted and who meant no harm could get you killed if they spoke to the wrong person. Similarly, having a friend who could read your heart like a book probably wasn't very much fun. Satou imagined it would be scary and make people reluctant to be around her.
She shifted her weight from one foot to the other again, unclasping her hands and biting her lip. It was hard to say what had possessed her to say this. Maybe her fear of betraying someone, or maybe Kyo's burst of courage was contagious. Satou managed to regain her smile, though it was nervous and a tad bit timid.
"No um... not psychic... I-I'm empathetic though...? I guess it... it's similar...? I'm sorry..." She explained quietly, reaching up to try to hold her ahoge down against her head. To be less creepy, she hoped.
