[departing]

Everyone---[Oh no. Not this public speaking thing again. Shu's nervous. He hopes he doesn't make a fool out of himself in front of all these people.] I'd like to know something.

I thought that maybe someone here might know the answer. Is it, normal to meet someone from your own world but....they don't have the same memories as you?

Inori.

Inori remembers something different. She says I protected the school with Ayase, but it doesn't make sense. I don't think she's lying either, so. She wouldn't do something ...like that.

[At least he thinks so. Segai's words manage to bestow a sense of insecurity on him.

Beware of those who tell you to believe in yourself, Shu. Inori might very well wish to use you and removing anyone who might take away that control through this manipulation.

Is it really alright to believe in her and the Funeral Parlor? He doubts them for a minute.]

[Pause.]

For those of you who just arrived, I guess.

Please, be careful. I don't want to see any of you get hurt here. There's a hospital in the Sigyn district and... [Wait, he's in no position to be telling them what to do. Stop right there, Shu.]

That's about it.

[What on earth did he just say to everyone?]

Comments

[ryougi]

Like I just said, I told you not to apologize so much before this.

[departing]

I feel bad, so that's why.

[ryougi]

Apologizing that much makes it lose the meaning.

[departing]

Oh, well.

Okay.

It's just that I have a hard time.

[NOOOO.]

A hard time talking with other people. I'm not sure what to say and...

[UWOO]

[ryougi]

Then don't say anything. [Shu it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.]

[departing]

I've spent three years of my life trying not to talk to anyone.

They still do it anyways.

What then?

[ryougi]

Stop being around those people in general.

[departing]

It's not that easy.

I mean. In school they're always around.

[ryougi]

Ignore 'em. S'not that hard to get people to stop talking to you. [Shu you're talking to the master of BITCH DO NOT TALK TO ME here.]

[departing]

Would they really go away if I ignored them?

..Never thought of that before.

I like being alone more though.

[ryougi]

Trust me, it'll work.

[departing]

I'll try it then.

[SHU NO.]

KEEP SPAMMING ME!!!

[ryougi]

Good. It'll work out.

[SCORE.]

I WILL ALWAYS SPAM YOU ALWAYS WANNA BE WITH YOU HARMONY OH LOVE

[departing]

I wonder if that'd be a good idea here.

Emotions supposedly fix the city's illness right?

NO I DENY YOUR SONG TOO!!

[ryougi]

Dunno about you, but I got no intention of fixing this city or whatever.

HARMONY HARMONYYY OH LOVEEEE IFMLAKM

[departing]

I'm not sure what to do, but you can do what you want I guess.

STAPPPPPPP

[ryougi]

S'what I've always done at least.

NOOO

[departing]

Looks that way.

You're amazing you know?

X(!!!!

[ryougi]

What.

)x

[departing]

What do you mean 'what'?

I don't get it.

=3=

[ryougi]

How the hell can you think I'm amazing?

[departing]

There's a lot more going for you than there is for me.

I mean.

You're nice so I think I want you to stay that way.

[ryougi]

[There's a long, long pause before she just sighs.]

Don't tell me I got another weirdo on my hands here...

[departing]

By weirdo you don't mean me? Do you?

[ryougi]

You're the only weirdo I see here.
