[ Sure, he can just pretend Ritsuka knew it from the look on his face.

She is RUNNING to hug them. Yes. Both of them. Thankfully not at the same time. ]

You did it!! I knew it!!

[boneface]

[ HE'S GOING TO GET RITSUKA HUGGED FIRST sorry anna, she beat you by a minute. ]

Aaahhhhhh, yeah!! We were a perfect match!!

[ Ehehehehe ]

[singurarity]

[ VICTORY. But she's squeezing tightly. ]

See?? Didn't I say it'd be fine?

[boneface]

[ squeezed......... ]

Y-Yeah! I still didn't expect it to be right though. Holy crap. It makes me feel... a lil dizzy, haha. But in a good way!

[singurarity]

Don't fall over, okay? We worked so hard to get you to this point.

[boneface]

[ straightens up!! ]

I won't! I'm good! I didn't even puke and my hand wasn't even sweaty!

[ ok ryuji ]

[singurarity]

Both good things!! I'm proud of you.

[ Look what his honesty got him! ]

1/2

[boneface]

[ he's... a little wibbly at that. she's so sincere?! he doesn't know how to take it. his soft heart... ]

T-Thanks. Thanks. I wouldn't have taken the plunge if it weren't for ya!

2/2

[boneface]

[ BUT. he collects himself. ]

Now, we focus on finding you your perfect match.

[singurarity]

How about you manage to go on one date first before trying to help me?

[boneface]

[ —ack! ]

I — I will! I'm planning on it. I'm gonna take Wednesday on a date and it'll be sooooo cool, promise.

[singurarity]

Okay...

[ JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. ]

I'm trusting you on this.

[boneface]

[ WOW. the intensity. ]

Okay!

[ a pause and then he kind of. lowers his voice and leans in a bit. ]

Where do you think I should take her on a date? I was thinkin' like, an amusement park. With a haunted house.

[singurarity]

Oh, that could be good, but you've gotta make sure it's actually a scary one or she's just going to think it's cheesy.

[ Tough crowd. ]

Maybe something like an escape room? Or an axe-throwing place, they've got those! I think.

[boneface]

[ !!! OH. That sounds really good, actually. He looks pumped then. ]

Yeah, I bet she'd love that! Ohhh, now I've got a bunch of ideas. Do you think she likes swords?

[ is he thinking of asking the staff to give them a date of something related to the sengoku era and torture, yes ]

[ohwoe]

[STIFF AS A BOARD WHEN SHE GOES FOR THAT HUG, as expected.]

Ritsuka-

[singurarity]

Endure it. You're ditching me.

[ Muffled. ]

[ohwoe]

I'm not. [Huffs!] As though you can get rid of my unnerving presence so easily. Now I'm unburdened by strategizing and can focus on leaving my mark wherever I please.

[singurarity]

I mean, you could still help...

[ohwoe]

Leaving my baleful mark wherever I please, Ritsuka.

[Of course she's still going to help.]

[singurarity]

Right. Right... sorry, mark away.

[ohwoe]

[Good. That's sorted.]

...But since I have an investment in how well everyone else performs, I'm sure you'll hear my opinion on your performance more often than not.

You know what's a shame, though?

[singurarity]

Hm? What?

[ohwoe]

That I'll not be able to act as "detective" as much as I'd like now. My figurative nose no longer to the match-making grindstone.

[singurarity]

Believe me, I'd love it if you could still detect away. We'll just have to have little sessions when you're not busy and I can fill you in.
