week three | mingle

[showhost]

So, uh.

Welcome to Week Three! We’ve officially passed the halfway point, and after a super, duper successful Match Ceremony, I’m sure the teens are feeling all hyped up and raring to go.

Right?

Regardless, there are a few changes this Monday morning to greet the teens:

• First off, there is a new bathroom! Oooh, aaaahhhh. Three whole bathrooms in the house for the teens now. Enjoy.
  
• There is also a set of video games in the living room to connect to the TV. They are pretty much all multiplayer party games like M*rio C*rt. Don’t kill each other.
  
• There are a few packs of dorayaki now scattered around the house.
  
• There is also a piano now in the living room!
  
• On the counter in the kitchen, there is also some paper and writing implements, like basic ballpoint pens. Wait, doesn’t that break the rules?

Tsukasa’s extremely loud and obnoxious voice is not here to greet you guys this morning, which means it seems there isn’t a Task for the week–

But something else seems to be going on.

That's not a choice, Ritsuka-chan. That's an ultimatum. I mean, you can still regret it and stuff like that, but I don't think it makes you a horrible person that you had to choose between your home and everything else.

[ but she really is simple, picking at the curry again. ]

Kinda over my pay grade, honestly, but that's just what I think.

[ The diversity of reactions has been honestly kind of insane. She just has to reflect on that for a minute, before she sighs. ]

And what's got you not as okay?

[makeine]

I'm totally okay.

[ she said in a totally not defensive manner. ]

[singurarity]

Liar.

[ Fondly. ]

[makeine]

[ ...

she chews on her spoon, then sets it side on the cloth as she stares at the pool. ]

Will-kun and I broke up.

[singurarity]

Huh--wait, what? Because of Akechi-kun??

[ WHAT HAPPENED ]

[makeine]

[ girl you missed a whole thing ]

Sort of. Akechi-kun's right, and Minami-kun was right the first week, too. If they're a perfect match, then I'm only a roadblock. I just... thought it'd be better to end it so they could pick each other and I'll... I don't know. Give Steve-kun another shot and find out if we are a match.

[ trust there's a logic to it. ]

[singurarity]

...

Does he... like either of them?

[ Well, she knows he doesn't, but. ]

[makeine]

[ ... ]

Probably not enough to kiss them, but enough to keep trying to understand them. Even though they do nothing but push him away... but it isn't about liking them, Ritsuka-chan! It's that I don't think Will-kun will choose anyone but me if we're together! At least by pushing him away like this, he'll have a chance to see if Akechi-kun really is his match since that "soul sucking woman" won't be in the picture!

[ she hates his ass so bad truly ]

[singurarity]

I think...

Until we can verify it, maybe, that yeah, he would pick you. But I also think he'd be willing to test it either way so we can all get an answer, without you two needing to break up romantically.

Because no matter what, you two... don't have to be a Perfect Match to be a match anyway, right? And we still can't rule out that you're not.

[ "Soul sucking woman", though... yikes. ]

[makeine]

Okay, well, it already happened, so that's that.

[ she already broke up with him. it's fi it isn't fine but it's fine. ]

I can't be with someone who doesn't give their all for love. And if he really is just asking me to be with him so he can be a better king, and learn from me since apparently I've been a great help that way, then I don't want it. I mean...

[ she falters a little, playing with her hair. ]

I'm into him. But I can't pretend I'm not if he doesn't feel the same. You know? It'd be different if he did.
