[ Should've picked the beanbag chair. He can, if he can will himself upright again. The slumping makes that flicker of a smile pass over the counselor's face again, though, before it hidden behind the act of eating a banana chip to fill the silence. ]

No offence taken.

[ He's stabbed before too, and not in self defense. ]

I can't speak of details without breaking patient confidentiality, but you are right. There are those who don't feel remorse, there are those who feel justified in their actions, there are those who want nothing more than to forget and wash their hands clean. People are people; they will have their own personal reasons. [ Eats a banana chip to break up this wall of text ] So, no, I do not have these sorts of conversations with everybody. Not everybody is open to it, and I cannot force the matter. Did it help at all?

[starrypoint]

[no, no he did not. just thay hiro was the easier one to make friends with, compared to maya]

Good people make mistakes too, you know! Unless that's about not being his friend. It's kinda hard to tell. Are you mute?

[it's not in a mean way or anything, genuinely curious!! he knows shy people but no one who doesn't speak at all]

[adsum]

No.

[ What? An indoor trail? Is this for that fundraiser thing, she already told Komaeda she wouldn't participate in it. ]

We have an art club. Ask there.

[adsum]

[ His and Natsume's friendship isn't something he really wants to advertise— not at all because of Natsume, but because of himself, the fact that he doesn't really make friends, doesn't know how, somebody managed to attract more than one person who would come up to him and just start talking and say that means they're friends.

It's weird. Frankly, it's overwhelming. Enough that even if he isn't mute mute, he's close enough that he just nods, makes it easier on himself, and hope that's a deterrent for Subaru. ]

[starrypoint]

[business minded...]

Wow, you are alike... In that case, I'll make you a deal! I'll give you info in trade for your time. ☆ It'll be fun, and it's totally worth it!

[adsum]

You'll get nicer flowers seeking out a member of the art club rather than somebody who plays the piano. You're not interested in my skill, so it's something else. Just spit it out and stop beating around the bush.

[ Ask! what you want!! Even if she gets info out of it, she's going to be stuck making paper flowers, how is that going to be worth it ]

[silentabyss]

[Cannot force the matter... hmph. Sure.]

I... guess so, yeah. It answered the question. What I'm still lost on is why there are things like people treating murder as normal here. It's not right. I guess I don't know everyone's backgrounds or where they come from, but nothing has happened to the people who kill others. Aren't you, or whoever's in charge, just perpetuating the cycle by letting people like that walk free?

[starrypoint]

[oh...

subaru puffs his cheeks in thought, then lets hiro go and holds out his hands]

Got another way to talk? If I had a better phone I'd text you, but that's off the menu. Once that's settled, I wanna get to know you more! [... oh, he needs to be considerate, hold on—] If that's okay.

[closewithnewintown]

[if her eyes could sparkle like an anime character, that would be happening right now.

instead, they just widen, and in a moment of incredible rudeness she will feel like a dick about in about one minute, she just outright snatches the bento from him. she doesn't even look for utensils; she's just scarfing up whatever the hell it is with her hands.

when the food is gone, in about thirty seconds, she seems to remember that she is a human being, and has the decency to look a little embarrassed.]

Um... Thank you! I didn't wake up early enough to make lunch... or breakfast...

[starrypoint]

[MAYA......




GENUINELY THIS WAS HIS PLAN TO GET INTO HER FRIENDSHIP so now he's sort of down that she doesn't think he's being sincere. it is so hard being someone who isn't her brother]

I wanna be friends, but I heard you were more business-minded, so I thought I could spend time with you by asking you to make flowers with me. That's all.

[adsum]

Would you rather we execute them on sight? There are those who will bring about that sort of "justice" with their own hands, if they catch whiff of a killer.

[ Vigilantes, in the full sense of the word, when all the counselor does is talk. ]

...It isn't right. But each circumstance is different. You feel guilty for the deaths you've caused, but are you guilty? Should I cut you down here, where you sit? Would that be just?

[adsum]

Hm.

[ It's a thinky hm, let him have this.

... ]

Maybe you're cursed.

[ That's it. That's all he's got. Rokkun doesn't hold answers to your courtyard problems. ]

[adsum]

[ When will telepathy be real so he can just beam thoughts into other people's heads...

It's not ideal, but... he holds his hand out flat in front of him and pokes his palm with his other hand. The PDA would be the best bet, although the conversations will be public. Alternatively, writing... but you don't want to read Hiro's handwriting. ]

[silentabyss]

I wasn't thinking that extreme, no... imprisonment, maybe?

[Please do not kill Noah again, he's getting really tired of it, actually.]

...I know about those sorts of people. I think they're just as guilty as anyone else, but what I'm trying to get across is that I don't think it's fair to let people off with a slap on the wrist. Especially the people that are more inclined to kill randomly and with no mercy.

[adsum]

[ Oh... at least a lot of it's finger food, things like those rolled egg omelets and sausages and a side of cherry tomatoes, although he doesn't have a drink with him to wash it all down. He doesn't seem put off by the rudeness at all, just concerned about the state of Stephanie not eating— the swearing makes sense now. She's hangry.

Where's that pieces of paper...

He finds her original message, and hands it to her. ]

lunch, auditorium?

[ But like... tomorrow. Or whatever day he isn't being accosted by idols. ]

[closewithnewintown]

... [she doesn't want to burden him with the tears forming in her eyes. so, she closes her eyes, smiling hard, and nods harder, so her voice doesn't betray her.]

[starrypoint]

[well... it'll be fine, they can talk on the pda. until telepathy becomes a viable option. not like subaru's gonna get into stuff he shouldn't publicize



sorry in advance hiro. they can sit down somewhere, like the stairs since the other twin doesn't like them half as much anymore]

lmk right now but do you need me to turn down my orange?

[adsum]

Some would think school is imprisonment enough.

[ Ha ha. That's a joke. He does not laugh, though, but looks somewhat thoughtful. ]

Many are still children, and depriving them of their education is not an ideal situation either, especially as a school. We are not law enforcement, and we are not a justice system either. Personally, my job is to help a person understand their way of thinking, to correct what's out of alignment.

[ This is just a job, okay. He sits here, he eats, he talks. ]

Those who kill randomly and without mercy need guidance more than imprisonment, don't you think?

[adsum]

[ THIS WAS HIS PLAN??? SUBARU???? ]

You wanted to make friends by making paper flowers?

[ Hello? Out of everything, this is what she takes the most offence with. PAPER FLOWERS. There's apparently no merit in paper flowers. ]

[adsum]

[ Oh, yeah. Hiro likes sitting more than standing, and if they're sitting side by side on the stairs and blocking people's way, he goes ahead and pokes at Subaru's PDA instead of getting his own out. It's fine. If they just type without hitting send, nothing will get posted and it can be sort of private this way too. ]

n. easy 2 read

[ Bright color? Comic Sans? A lot easier to read than the plain normal black whatever font PDAs use in 1999 ]

[starrypoint]

Yup! Crafts are super calming and easy to do, so it'd be easy to talk over and not that awkward if things got quiet!

[what you see is what you get, maya!!!]

And I think you'd make some really pretty ones too, Ari~. You play piano, so you've got deft hands and good control! Perfect for making paper flowers — way better than you'd think, I promise!

[adsum]

[ Oh, he does that same trick. Tears won't fall if you don't blink, and that means you're not crying. Stephanie just has to keep her eyes closed until ??? her eyeballs reabsorb the tears or something. Closed eyes means she also misses the little smile on his face, that he stops almost immediately, trying to think of how to ask Maya to pack a little more food for lunch. She would be suspicious. But she'll probably also be happy, because he doesn't always eat the lunch he brings every day anyways, depending on if he's more tired than hungry. Problem for future Hiro, aka 5 hours from now Hiro. ]

[adsum]

Never call me that again.

[ Stooooooooooopp. She doesn't believe Subaru keeping his hands busy will shut him up, they'll never get a quiet moment. Besides, it's— it's nothing to do with how well she can make flowers, knowing that as long as there's an instruction manual, she can do it. It's just... flowers. ]

What do you even do with paper flowers once they're made? There are other things to do that won't generate so much trash.

[closewithnewintown]

[the danger passes, and she opens her eyes.]

... I'm not gonna go back to class, I think. [she is going to sleep in this corner and then when school ends THEN she goes back to class. and sleeps there.]

[starrypoint]

[oh perfect. in all ways]
