[he grins]

You should! I think you'd like her, she's a really good friend.

[preowned]

Is that so...

Well! I'll see if she'd like to talk to me then.

[agleam]

Mm... I don't want to say too much about it, because it's stuff she's told me privately, but - it seems like she hasn't always had the opportunity to make friends. So I think she'd be happy if she got to talk to more people while we're all here.

[preowned]

[ he'll nod. ]

I'll see what I can do. I do want to get to know more people here.

[agleam]

Yeah... It's pretty much the only good thing about these kinds of places, huh?

[preowned]

Yeah. I've met a lot of people who are pretty precious to me now.

[agleam]

Back in your last group? You should tell me about them!

[friendship...]

[preowned]

[ he thinks about it... ]

Well, you know Shinobu and Futaba.

[agleam]

Ah - actually, I don't really know Futaba very well at all... I didn't get a chance to talk to her before I got sent to the other area.

[preowned]

You should talk to this one! There's probably a few differences, since... ah.

Well. She's a very sweet child, but she gets lonely.

[agleam]

[he pauses at that ah, well, but he decides it's probably a better idea not to ask.]

I'll put it on my to do list, then!

[preowned]

Great.

Dimitri is great, too, but he was better friends with people I knew than me. I'm only getting to know him better now.

[agleam]

Oh - yeah, I know Dimitri.

[...]

Well, not this Dimitri. Well, no, I kind of know this Dimitri by now, but not as well as... Well, you get it.

[stop talking]

[preowned]

Oh, yeah. I understand. The different timelines can make it all confusing.

Were you friends with the other one you knew?

[agleam]

[he hesitates for a second.]

I like to think so, at least! Wait, no, never mind, he definitely called me his friend at least once. So, yes.

[preowned]

I wonder why we always have to wait for someone to say it out loud...

[agleam]

He's the kind of person who didn't make friendship very easy at first. I'm pretty sure he would have taken, like, another month to say it if there weren't extenuating circumstances going on when he did.

[please be nice to dimitri]

[preowned]

That describes a lot of people.

[agleam]

Oh, yeah, it definitely does.

[PLEASE BE NICE TO EVERYONE ELSE TOO]

[preowned]

They're all...

[ clears his throat, and deepens his voice, ]

I'm not here to make friends.

[agleam]

[he does the same.]

So I'm going to pretend I don't like any of you for roughly three weeks while constantly hoping you ignore the kind things I do and the fact that I clearly crave friendship and human connection...

[preowned]

I will act surprised when you verbally express your like towards me, even though everything you have done so far has implied you think we're friends.

[agleam]

And if you ever say something that's too nice I will literally run away, ignore it or insult you because I'm incapable of taking a compliment or accepting happiness.

[preowned]

[ he clutches his chest ]

This is giving me flashbacks.

[agleam]

Who was it, for you?
