[ 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.

[ he clutches his chest ]

This is giving me flashbacks.

[agleam]

Who was it, for you?

[preowned]

Oh! My hostage is like that, actually.

[agleam]

[he pauses]

Can I hear about them? I mean - if it's not too painful to think about right now.

[preowned]

No, it's fine.

[ he never minds talking about these things. ]

His name is Ookurikara. He's also another one of Date's swords, and he's... difficult to get along with, but he is very loyal to those he cares about.

[agleam]

He sounds nice! I mean, maybe not in the traditional sense of the word, but... Loyalty is pretty important, and so is having people you care about.

[preowned]

Yeah. He can be really difficult to deal with, but once you figure out that he is a... tsundere, it's easier.

[agleam]

A what?

[if someone taught him this last game he conveniently forgot]

[preowned]

It's when you are very mean, but get flustered when people are nice to you.
