I did, but... that's exactly it, isn't it? I was with you guys for a while. [ holds up two fingers. ] Twice as long as I was with them. Aside from Narja, I know you all much better.
Yeah, it's nice to go back. The bathhouse is really relaxing. But I'm staying at basecamp, still. Akane has had her own space for so long, intruding won't do anyone any good.
I feel comfortable there, and I like the quiet. [ he could realistically sleep anywhere, but it's his spot. ] I did consider asking Homa if I could sleep in her room, but after the party I don't want to interrupt any... trysts.
[ deeply doesn't want to think about this so he will not thanks ]
It was great, yeah! The food was good, the fireworks were fun... and it was nice getting to see everyone let loose in person. Always felt real awkward only being able to watch them.
The first one could've been better... [ that was so awkward lmao. not to mention the fallout. ] But it's fun to hang out with everyone else, too. And the fireworks were awesome!
[ he is easily entertained but they also made mikoto alter happy(?) and that is A+ in his book. ]
I think you're the only person able to be trusted with that amount of fireworks. [ amused. water guy. but then, with a vibe of gratitude; ] Thankyou for trying. With him.
Guess so. Seems like she's been learning a lot here, just like the rest of us.
...Oh. Well... He might be difficult, but he's still a part of Mikoto. He might hate me, but I think he deserves people who care about him - they both do.
Isn't she? Really inquisitive, too, but I like hearing her perspective.
[ smiles! ]
I don't know him that well. He tries to avoid me, I think, but that might be my own fault... [ shakes head. ] Still. He might try to hide it, but it's pretty obvious that he cares about people here.
I don't think it's your fault, really. He's trying, but it's difficult to not lash out when that's all you've known for such a long time. He avoids people instead, and prefers Mikoto to have his time with others anyway. You did well to appeal to him, so... thank you.
She hasn't told me much about it yet, but I am curious.
...No, at least part of it is my fault. I did threaten him a little after he and Syo killed each other. [ very vaguely but a threat is a threat. ] But I still think he deserves to enjoy himself once in a while, too... though he said he doesn't have much time.
[ which is a little concerning but he doesn't know what to do with that. ]

It's been alright. I'm glad to see they're all doing well.
[ but he has still been staying in his trailer. ]
no subject
i don't think he knows michiru is still staying in the trailers help. ]
Just "alright?" Didn't you miss them? You were with us for a while.

Did you enjoy the party last night?

...With who?
[ is not actively thinking about mikoto right this second but, ]
no subject
[ not a negative assessment just. truthful. ]
Oh. The other soul that shares with Mikoto.

...Oh. Well... He might be difficult, but he's still a part of Mikoto. He might hate me, but I think he deserves people who care about him - they both do.

[ the gratitude continues, tinged with fondness. ]
Yes. I agree. He's his own soul, and souls should know kindness and care. He's trying all the time to improve, even if it's hard to see.

[ such a pretty soul. at that, though, his spirits dip a bit before he remembers. ]
I think he just wanted to give the night back to Mikoto. He promised he wouldn't leave as long as I want him to stay.
no subject
...Did he? You two really are close.
[ just wondering what that means for fukawa, exactly. ]
no subject
[ his brother, that girl. seems like a mess.
a hum, and a nod. ]
We spent a lot of time together the week he was here. He looked after me, after those fans infiltrated. We talk. I like being with him.
no subject
[ wouldn't be here otherwise. ]
...That's good. I was worried about him being so isolated that week.
no subject
[ sooo fond. ]
You're a good person, Leng Feng. The universe needs more like you.
