( she says not to talk about death but, komaeda will keep it on his brain instead. especially with how it rolls by the club room back and forth as if waiting for new prey. wow... wouldn't it be neat if komaeda stepped outside right now and just died, but then rika would just kill him again. )

Now, now... I understand you want to focus on Rokkun...

( bossy outside of tags, bossy inside of tags... sighs, the inner rika commands it. )

...Besides, it's your day. ( he says this to the belated-birthday boy, and he manages a smile as he does so. ) I hear spending it with a loved one is very special, so you have to appreciate what's before you.

( stand in front of him rika, STAND IN FRONT OF ROKKUN. )
