.....

[She's silent for a long moment, then shrugs.]

Are we really that different? Can't we just be friends and not worry about it so much?

[She's trying hard to evade this line of conversation. It hovers too close to some uncomfortable thoughts she's been having.]

[otakuro]

Is hiding from it really the right thing to do?

[He sighs, and the distorted smile on his face fades away.]

Can you really be friends knowing something like this? The Atsuro you know... has left you, hasn't he?

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

[She flinches. That was like a physical stab and her response is tight and slightly bitter.]

The Atsuro I know left me way before I came here.

[He walked away with Kazuya to become demon lords or beat up God or something. Way to go, guys.]

[otakuro]

[A pause now.]

...Right? And so... every time you see my face -- you're reminded of that, aren't you?

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

Well...

[She sighs.]

Well, maybe. A little. But... it's not like that's the only thing that ever happened to us. I remember a lot of good things too.

And... and I know that you're from a world where none of that happened anyway. So it's okay.

[She says with as much conviction as she can muster, trying to convince herself as much as him.]
