You worked up your courage and asked someone out on a date! Good job!





Now you have to hope the producers are kind re: where they send you.

Well, it's up to you ultimately. Where you want to go and who you want to go with, if anyone.

But I do think it says a lot that you have options now. [ An exhale, before she sips at her drink. ]

Sappy or not, I'm really glad that you do. It feels like more's opening up to you by the week.

[flaweddetective]

[He chews on his straw as she talks, pondering and considering the options that lay before them and if the road he may walk could even bear any fruit. How wise is it to make lofty plans when the wishes may not come true? When he may not want them to come to pass.]

Do you think so? [It feels like every week he makes to slam more doors closed. Less people like him than the day before which is fine but it narrows the options of this mysterious "perfect" match all the more. Until it clearly is going to boil down to someone who can't stand him.

Perfect is such a joke. There's no one here for him and it's only going to disappoint someone who is here actually looking for something. Sentimental fool they may be.] I find myself disagreeing... But you seem to be a stalwart observer so I won't question what you've seen.

[singurarity]

... That is a surprisingly nice way for you to say "bullshit".

[ Like. She's just going to say that. ]

[flaweddetective]

[He rolls his eyes.]

Alright. Then it's bullshit.

[singurarity]

Ah. [ Siiiiiip. ]

There he is.

[flaweddetective]

[He continues to chew on his straw, looking down at her with a slightly narrowing gaze.]

Enlighten me as to what you mean by that.

[He knows but it's worth hearing before diving into it.]

[singurarity]

I was thinking you were maybe a little too polite with me just now, that's all.

[ This is, in her opinion, a lot better. ]

But I do think you've changed a little, with some of your relationships, from when we first talked on the balcony. Whether you think that's true or not, that's what I did notice.

[flaweddetective]

[Hell. He rolls his eyes.]

Hostile is not my only setting, killer. But it can be if you want. [He tosses his cup into the nearby trash.] Our relationship can change right now if that's what you're aiming for.

[singurarity]

I'm not aiming for one thing or another.

[ She doesn't even blink at "killer." She's already been through several attempts of breaking her mind and/or causing her to lose her will to live. This really is nothing. ]

Is it a problem if some people get along with you, even when you're snappy?

[flaweddetective]

I'm not here to play besties. And I'm not here for this unrealistic romantic garbage. I'd be better off if people stopped trying.

And you would be better off if you cared a little less.

[singurarity]

Probably. But it's been three years, so I think it's a little too late for me at this point.

[ So she'll just stay as herself, as much as she can. ]

... I don't think anyone's trying to romance you, though?

[ right????? ]

[flaweddetective]

If anyone is trying then they haven't been paying attention to a damn thing in this house.

I don't want anyone's friendship either which people are trying to do. I want to leave this whole garbage experience behind as soon as possible.

[singurarity]

That awful, huh?

At least check in with me before you ditch? I did promise you an answer.

[ Well, she's not here to latch onto his legs and drag him kicking and screaming into friendship. It just means she also won't stop what she's been doing. ]

[flaweddetective]

I can do that much, I suppose.

[As one of the people who have pissed him off the least? Sure...]

[singurarity]

Good enough for me. Thanks, Akechi-kun.
