Yep. [ yeeeeeep. ]

So, you want the good news first or the oof news?

[willandaway]

[WHY IS THERE OOF NEWS. . .]

. . . the good news first?

[singurarity]

[ well :) ]

So, Wednesday and Ryuji went into the Truth Booth and they're a confirmed Perfect Match! They're both really happy about it.

... Well, Ryuji is. But I can tell Wednesday's not annoyed.

[willandaway]

Oh--!

[that is good news! he pulls up a smile]

Good for them. Is "not annoyed" as good as it gets for Wednesday. . .?

[singurarity]

She just has different ways of showing her happiness. [ fondly. ]

But it means we've got one pair figured out, and that leaves only seven more to go!

[ "only." ]

[willandaway]

"Only."

[light. . . amusement. . .]

I think it's nice to be one step closer than we were yesterday. Some people have some very important wishes to make.

[and he does not wish to deny any of them the chance to earn those wishes]

[singurarity]

Yeah... well, I'm sure a lot of people do.

[ A pause. ]

As for the "oof" stuff, Akechi-kun said some things about Ryuji that a lot of us disagreed with and Anna-chan really lost her temper with him and he left the room.

I did go find him to talk to him and he wasn't really... the way he's acted so far, but I think we sort of reached an agreement? But he said friends and popularity don't matter to him.

[willandaway]

[. . . wait, Anna lost her temper?? hewwo?? he is going to have to ask her about that??? he files it away for later and instead re-focuses his attention on what Ritsuka said about Akechi]

What. . . did he say?

[singurarity]

Like... Ryuji going to a school for troubled kids, and maybe his attitude being an act, a lot of implications like that, and how love is just hormones and he believes in living in reality, so you can probably guess how Anna-chan felt about that.

[willandaway]

[IS RYUJI ALSO A NOBLE—]

[but no, the rest is way more important than that. Will frowns]

. . . did he say why he believes those things?

[and naturally, he is more curious in Akechi's motivations behind what he said rather than. . . the actual substance of it]

[but he is going to check in on Anna about her feelings regarding this later]

[singurarity]

[ Well, his question went along the line of her thoughts back then. ]

Not really. When I checked on him later, I just sort of got the idea that he's been fighting different things all his life and then had to deal with fame, so he's... not really a big believer in things like friendship anymore. I'm sure he's seen a lot of two-faced people.

[willandaway]

[the real question is "what are hormones" but this conversation is too serious for that]

I got the feeling. . . there was a lot more to him than what meets the eye the first time we spoke.

[when Akechi told him that all he wished for was. . . freedom]

Maybe he just needs someone willing to offer him a listening ear.

[singurarity]

He could use more of them, at least!

[ Protags think alike. ]

[willandaway]

[THEY SURE DO]

[a smile]

I'll look for him later. I'm sorry I missed all of the excitement, though. . .

[singurarity]

It's okay. You can probably be the star of the show next week.

[willandaway]

[oh my god that makes him feel self-conscious]

I. . . suppose so. With Yana-chan.
