[chainsawn]

It sounds nice. [ And she sounds content at it, even though it doesn't involve her personally. She's probably imagining what it's like, that's where the tone is coming from. ]

That means you two are close even if you haven't talked.. it's like you're never alone.

[pengeen]

In a way, it is. [Ah thinking about his kawaii younger sister is making him a bit melancholy, time for a subject change]

Are there anyone from your home here in the Tower with you? [...no not the best subject to switch too]

[chainsawn]

[ all these melancholic subjects-- but Urotsuki just goes quiet for a few moments before softly shaking her head a little even as she's lying there. ]

Just me. [ ... ] But.. that's fine. Even back home, it was just me a lot of the time. So it's the same..

[pengeen]

[...oh...] Well it's different now, isn't it? Because you have new friends here, it's not just you anymore.

[chainsawn]

Yes. That's why I like this place.

[ After all, here she is, lying next to him and sharing his jacket - not to mention all the other nice people she's talked to. ]

Even if this place can be cruel.. I'm not alone here. That's why I like it more here than back home, even..

[pengeen]

[He nods.] I know what you mean. Before, when I didn't have Sakuma or Genda or Haruna here with me, I still felt alright here because I made other friends. I didn't feel as helpless or alone.

[He moves his hand out from underneath his chin and rests his head in his arms, sighing a little bit.]

[chainsawn]

[ She opens her eyes just so she can glance over to him a little. ]

You were here before any of them were..?

[pengeen]

I was here two months prior to them, since March.

[chainsawn]

March? [ The word seems to surprise her quite a bit, and for a moment it's almost like she might move up in shock - but she doesn't, remaining lying next to him instead. ]

But.. that's so long ago. And yet you still seem fine..

[pengeen]

Well that's because I'm trying my hardest not to let anything get to me.

[chainsawn]

That's why Kidou-kun's so brave. Even if things like this happen often.. [ ... ] I think it could get pretty scary for people if there are a lot of these things.

[pengeen]

Yeah. [He nods.] To be honest, it was a lot harder when I first arrived. I didn't know anyone at all, and shortly after I was thrown into an event like this which I explained the first time we met.

[He laughs a little bit, sadly.] I couldn't look at my soccer ball after that event, since I had carried it with me the whole time. Every time I looked at it, it reminded me just how terrifying that was.

[chainsawn]

But you made it through, right..? [ which is really admirable and the important part to her, really. She still firmly believes she was only able to get through this thanks to everyone else. ]

And now.. you're this strong. You probably know a lot of people, and you're helping out others.. it's great.

[pengeen]

[And there's a bit of a blush starting to overrun his cheeks] You think so? [He doesn't feel like he's really been doing anything great at all]

[chainsawn]

Of course. You helped me out a lot here, so.. that already means you're stronger than me, right? [ she just smiles, as if she obliviously doesn't even notice the blush. ] I think someone who's strong enough to help out others is really great..

[pengeen]

Just because I've helped you out doesn't mean you're not strong, Urotsuki. Even the strongest of people need help sometimes.

[chainsawn]

Well.. I didn't say I'm weak.. [ but she doesn't really think of herself as strong either way. ]

Just that you're stronger. .. And more amazing, too..

[pengeen]

I don't think that I am.... [He smiles over at her]


But I do think that you're amazing too, Urotsuki.

[chainsawn]

[ oh gosh, she gets a little blushy now.. they're just going to end up complimenting each other into forever like this, huh? ]

It means a lot to me when it's you saying it..

omg i forgot i had a bunch of icons of him rolling around in his cape like this

[pengeen]

[Knowing these two, yes.]

It does?

LFMAO SHIT THAT ICON IS SO MOE...

[chainsawn]

Yes. Because Kidou-kun is someone who's so amazing to me, and.. [ she isn't sure how to word it - it might sound too clingy if she tells the truth, since she's so easily attached to people, right? but.. ] .. someone important to me.

ISN'T IT

[pengeen]

[Oh no, he thought he was done with the blushing but nope, his face is starting to get pretty red. It's not often that he hears things like that, after all.]

...really? [He.. doesn't know what else to say. Usually it goes without saying that he's important to others like his sister or his soccer team but when it's actually brought to attention, he's a bit at a lost for words or he changes the subject to something more pressing at the time.]

I CAN'T HANDLE IT

[chainsawn]

.. Y-.. yes, really. [ It's somewhat awkward to repeat it, but she does all the same - nodding her head a little to herself. ]

That's.. not a bad thing, is it?

BUT YOU MUST HANDLE IT BECAUSE I HAVE MORE

[pengeen]

Ah no, not at all. [He hesitates before speaking again]

...I'm just... not that used to hearing things like that, that's all.

KEEP THOSE ICONS WHERE THEY BELONG

[chainsawn]

Why not? [ she sounds a little genuinely surprised. ] I thought everyone would find you as amazing as I do, and.. when someone is nice and amazing to you, you'd easily find them important, right?
