So I don't feel I used the term incorrectly. Perhaps I misinterpreted the way the scene was written. Or perhaps I'm not defining it correctly, but I'd like it stated that it wasn't for the sake of intelligence.

You seem unfairly, irrationally, critical.

Acknowledging the problems and stresses he's going under isn't "mopey." He's never said these adversities stopped him, just that they exist. (Because Gridon was saying his life was care-free. He was telling him nobody is care-free)

Next time you recognise any stress or undesirable circumstance in your life, do you consider yourself "mopey?" It's ridicuous how we're so conditioned by smiling idiot protagonists who let nothing faze them that someone going "man this is gonna be tough" in the face of a serious problem apparently is backtracking on decisions and can't make up his mind.

Jeez I can only imagine how you'd react to someone who did that in real life.

"Hey you wanna help me build a shed?"

"Sure, I can do that. It's gonna take a while tho-"

"WELL FINE IF YOU CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND THEN DON'T BOTHER!"

Kouta's still looking for the Overlords, and on top of that he has to keep fighting rouge Invess. (a point brought up this very episode) And on top of that he still needs some form of life of his own, his friends, his sister, relaxation, time to think about all this. Just because nobody else in this show seems to have parents or a life outside of specific tasks (like no shit, with all the emphisis on how young they are, NOBODY APPARENTLY LIVES WITH ANYONE. Kaito I can understand maybe lives alone, but others?) doesn't mean these moments of downtime and consideration equal ambiguity.
