i apologise in advance

[brainiest]

Your partner? I had no idea!

no I'm laughing too hard also real tag

[izanyagi]

We've been both leading the Investigation Team since last year together. There's only three of us here right now out of the eight but we helped solved a series of murders back at home.

[brainiest]

Oh! You must be the friend Yosuke mentioned before, when people were in the other world? They were all really worried about you, him especially. I'm glad you've got each other, at least.

[izanyagi]

I ran in to find them too...[not exactly the wisest of his ideas...]

We've all got each other's backs and with them, I'm never alone. Yosuke's a great friend, despite his shortcomings.

[brainiest]

[ OH. Oh. Oops. ]

He's definitely a good friend to have. He was very helpful when we were fighting the giants.

[ A pause, then a sort of rushed reply. ]

I don't want to assume, but - you meant 'friend' by 'partner', right?

[windbreak]

waitawat
what do YOU mean by that

[brainiest]

By what? That you were helpful?

[windbreak]

No no no i mean,
what else would partner mean??

[izanyagi]

Business partner maybe? We are advertising...

[brainiest]

Oh, um. No. In my world 'partner' can mean 'partner in crime' or a 'romantic partner'. That's why I was a little confused.

[izanyagi]

...I just heard him screaming really loudly and falling out of his chair on his side, I'll be right back.

Sorry about that.

[A couple of tumultuous minutes later...]

You! Y-You were just setting this up all along, weren't you!?

voice

[brainiest]

Setting what up?!

[windbreak]

This! [That was a downright impressive (but utterly uninformative) high note...] It's not cool, you hear!? It's not like that! Nobody would think it was like that!!

[brainiest]

[ A pause, a frown, then -- ]

'That' as in homosexuality?

[windbreak]

W-Well... [Did you want to know what the audible version of a cringe sounds like, Hermione? You do now.] Partners are partners, right!? When you just wanna call someone something a little stronger than just "best friend"? That's not weird at all! It's not, like... y'know!

[brainiest]

Well, no, of course you can call someone your partner. I only meant that in my world it has another meaning. I didn't intend to misunderstand you.

[izanyagi]

[Meanwhile coming from a slightly different bracelet near you, Souji opens up a feed to Hermione with the world's biggest apologetic look. The type that says do you see what I put up with that he's sorry his friend is like this.]

[windbreak]

[He exhales.] Um, well... Good! Okay. [Talk about awkward.] But geez, the fixation some people have...

[brainiest]

On being gay?

[windbreak]

... There's, uh, there's nothing wrong with it... If you're into that. [Now he's just mumbling.]

[brainiest]

... Right. Well, at least we have that sorted?

Video

[izanyagi]

[He is so so so sorry. Different cultures probably. Also Yosuke being Yosuke. He is sorry about all of that.]

Please don't worry about it, Hermione-san, it was just a misunderstanding.

[Hopefully you'll still be coming to the opening.]

video

[brainiest]

[ She nods, smiles. ]

I look forward to seeing your, um, opening, Souji. It really does look fun.

[izanyagi]

I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun, thank you!

[Well, at least they are back on track. Note to self: maybe not say partner as often as before.]
