[ She really has guts, though, doing this in the elevator practically all 300 students in the school use to get around, that Rokkun is taken aback to see that she actually followed through. Cute... There's a brief struggle in figuring out what to say and he can feel his face grow a little hot, but what else is there to say but ]

...wow.

[ He makes sure the doors slide closed and he stands with his back to it, so if it tries to open again he can quick slam the close door button and nobody else can see. ]

Huh...

[ No worries there, then, because it's clear that she's not overly friendly by default. Or minimum level friendly, even. ]

So my only option is to "tolerate" him... great. That's fine. It's not like I mean to make friends, so... what we have is fine.

You and Maya-chan are similar in that asPECT. Neither of you really mean to make FRIENDS.

( And yet!! )

There is always the option of "murDER," but I'd like to think you're better than killing people because they're annoying YOU. Also, I don't think he'd die that easiLY. Cockroaches can survive nuclear fallout, after ALL.

( tbf, if his friends were there to see, that'd be totally fine, too. she embarrassed him in front of his class once, she can do it again, no problem? don't test her. anyway, they'll probably have to press the stop button somewhere between floors if they don't wanna be disturbed, though... now that classes are over, it's probably less likely.

still.

maybe she can take him to the floor -201 and throw him to the bug girls if he pisses her off... )

... hehe. ~ ( but she's pleased with his reaction, smiling happily. ) That's not a response, Master!

You agree that what happened helped them, they've really graduated from what they used to be... If you say that to anyone else, they'll start to worry where your intentions are. Sadly, they don't understand people die every day...

( her death wasn't even a death, let's call it a sacrifice to build up everyone. )

Some deaths were uneeded from how selfish it was, but... I believe in them to overcome. ( he moves, and komaeda can move, and he sighs as he finally stands up to stretch. ) What are you...? This school has unusual oddities, and you must be one of the many mysteries.

( he's not answering because he has his own questions, but don't worry, it's hope, and komaeda always comes back to that. the little hopes... )

( ...people really are too easy, but it's not like his feelings are ingenuine in their entirety. )

I didn't CRY. ( There's always time for that though, points eyes at ori ) We mostly talked about how I felt with regards to my treatment after the FACT... That's why I asked you about if you felt yours was unFAIR.

( ... )

I almost DIED. ( Natsume picks at his food, eyebrows pressed together. ) Not in my session with Arata-sensei, but when the truth came out at the end of last MONTH... but a certain absolute idiot took the hit for ME. I don't like owing people THINGS, but I owe him my LIFE. I'm sure he wouldn't think of it that way THOUGH, and I know the person who attempted to kill ME...

( pause. ah, well. )

I don't know, actualLY. I'd like to think she would've regretted IT, but she's been quite cruel to me since THEN, so maybe she regrets not pushing her sword a little further to catch me TOO. ( Nothing ruins an appetite like thinking about the world of difference between their relationship at the beginning of the week and the end of it. ) But that's not imporTANT. Arata-sensei and I also talked about the types of students at this SCHOOL, if there were any classes that didn't suffer in order to graduATE... You're not supposed to trade information with your counselor I suppose — you're supposed to work through your feelings or whatever — but it's not like I have that much to talk aBOUT.

( He has a lot, actually, but. )

He said he has hope for ME. ( He steals another of Hiro's boiled eggs, but he'll cut Chococat's face in half (rip) and give him some of the cat onigiri. ) I'm not sure given the context if I'm supposed to like that or NOT, but that's THAT.

( ...

okay, hiro's turn. )

You must like me being careless around you, considering you don't want me to talk to you like your beloved kouhais.

( and that's the truth, komaeda is doing every he can to remain disliked. though, he's surprised considering the condition he put him in that he's not on rokkuns to-be-despised list.

with the jacket placed over him, he doesn't take it off... it's shade. )

About them... have you met with Kawaii-san?

( his lips purse into a straight line as he thinks about her actions, how her blade slid into saihara, and komaeda blames himself for that too. ) You are well-loved among your peers...

[ None of my npcs are here to make friends, they're here to murder ]

I wouldn't kill him! Not for real— it's just... threats, and I get mad easily, but I wouldn't... He doesn't deserve to die for being annoying.

[ In the heat of the moment, she doesn't think she would kill him. but, you know. heat of the moment. ]

[ he's sensitive, don't lie to him!! best friends is such a sacred thing...

He does sympathize, though, somewhat grateful that there hasn't been an attempt on his own life for what he did to Kouji, but perhaps people feared Maya more than they loved Kouji (I'm sorry Kouji). But Natsume has that sort of people too, it seems, people who would stand up for him and protect him... that's good to see. The counselor must have seen that too, Hiro thinks, if he had hope. That's a good thing, and he tries to convey that by making at attempt at a smile even though he has to look down at that point to check whether the cat onigiri is stuffed and if so then he's going to scoop out the innards and set it aside and eat the rice first.

...

It's still Natsume's turn, apparently. ]

[ She could do it and save the school from Rokkun ]

What if I want to be selfish and ask for all three?

[ As if he's not always selfish, but being called Master is weird, giving orders is weird... Rika is cute and the sight of her bare shoulders makes it a little hard to think, but anyways, he steps away from the door and circles around her a little, like he's appreciating her from all sides and not just trying to find something to do so he isn't tempted to reach out and take her hands. ]

( ...He'd expect his actions to have some sort of effect, yeah, but to that extent? )

What do you mean by THAT?

( Hiro Arisu exists to say otherwise idk what you're talking about )

I'm the same WAY. ( mostly. if he had the opportunity to kill komaeda he might actually take it with 0 regrets but komaeda is special. ) Despite what everyone might be trying to convince themselves to think so it's easier to hate ME.

( There's (checks what you put in onigiri) tuna mayo, that's cat-themed.

...Also why is it still his turn, he's looking a little confused before he pokes Hiro's cheek with his chopsticks, hold on. )

All we did was TALK. He didn't torture me or anything like THAT.

( Natsume can be a good boy when he wants something, it's fine. )

[ The little hopes are his favorites; the large ones never get realized, after all, so he takes what he can get, especially when what he gets is what people bring in with them through these doors. ]

What am I? I am the counselor.

[ That's all he has to say about that. If figuring out what he is is something that drives people, who is he to spoil the answer? ]

( true, but it could also be a yandere route because she's the only one in her cast and therefore the only one who could visit him — )

... weeell. ( spreading her arms in a shrug, she peers at him out of the corner of her eye, hands raised. ) I can't exactly give you a bath in an elevator, and I didn't bring dinner, either, so... there's really only one option left for you. I practiced the line for tomorrow, though! Don't I sound super cute?

( when jeffrey bezos shows up and she has to give him a bath, she'll regret this decision, but for now...

she just turns to him, tipping her head to the side, as if confused. why isn't he reaching for her, is the better question? does she have to kabedon him again? smh... )

[ His beloved kouhais have to stay just that— senpai and kouhai and nothing more despite what he's doing and why. It's a very specific sort of relationship, and it's on a tightrope. ]

I have, yeah. She's... [ ...not what he wants to talk about, with Komaeda ]

With everybody else, I'm not loved; I'm admired. Or at least I was, when I was captain. [ He'll have to rely on something else, now. Reputation. Maybe he can get by with looks alone. ]

What if I don't see you as a counselor, so let's take that away, shall we?

( normal counselors don't do what he did, to be honest, and it's not like komaeda is living right now to find out what he truly is. he's only here for hope, and hope alone. )

You're more than that, "the counselor," if I can accept myself as a stepping stone, then you can do the same.

( a piece of the world that others walk over to further their path, something like that. )

Wonderful! Summer vacation ends... August 29th, so around then... ( big thinks. ) Perhaps the 21st. I quite like Saturdays. They've been very eventful as of late.

Do you not think so? Every person's actions makes ripples, each ripple touches those nearby and irreversibly affects them. Your actions were not insignificant.

[ Maybe fate won't veer wildly off course after what happened, but shaken? Yes. ]

I'd be happier about the idea if it were a positive ripPLE.

( What good came out of... Well, certain information people may or may not believe, he guesses.

Actually. This has been bothering him slightly, but now that he thinks about it. )

How much do you know about what hapPENED?

[ adflkjh Hiro is here primary to murder but he can have a friend or two on the side, as a treat ]

The situation was unnatural and it's not like could happen again. At least from what I overheard. [ Like, she only has so much soul to break, and she's not too keen on letting go of any more. If there's anything else that exists out there like that toy horse, though... ]

If you killed Maya or Hiro, I would probably hate you too. I wouldn't be able to forgive you. But I can hold a grudge and believe you won't ever kill. I'd like to believe people think that.

[ So he really didn't cry... is it only Hiro that cried...

He places a hand on his chest while shaking his head and then tilts it just slightly to one side, as if asking if Natsume really doesn't like the counselor. Stephanie didn't. ]

She's...

( he's seen her, you know. she's been going through a lot considering her friends have died, she almost killed another. everything around her is crumbling, and while she's having trouble getting back together... this feels too "same ol" for komaeda. he doesn't feel bad, but he doesn't know what to make of it. )

Your girlfriend, don't be so shy to say it... You're one of the many people she can rely on, or I think her hope will... sighs.

( after cutting off natsume too, she shouldn't have to live the unfortunate world that komaeda has. )

... ( "was"... ) Was that your hope? ...Soccer? Being the captain? ( he's looking for shade, he wants shade!!! also so he can make a little distance since he heard that as ruining rokkun's soccer life too. )

[ Rika stowing him away in the elevator like a handbag to take out on special occasions... ]

You're going to invite people to bathe with you tomorrow...? I'd have to use up my life's savings to keep you away from everybody else.

Oh, um- he's vegan, so I think I gotta check what pectin's made out of first.

( even if he's not super strict about it, she'd rather be respectful of it all. )

... But, we can use fruits and stuff to make him something else. Okay?
