[She gave him her dinner?? Clearly she's been as nice as possible.
Except no, clearly not. Kawaii-san melts beneath Souji's attentions, basking in them, just as pleased as he'd been when Ardyn was around. Cat lovers, there's no one better.]
And he does look like an uncooked chicken. He's wrinkled and pale, it's a miracle I didn't mistake him for Christmas dinner.
if your comments have anything to do with "you're not him," "he had different circumstances than you," or "just because it happened once doesn't mean it'll happen again" then you can quit while you're ahead
you just said they wanted to RECONSTRUCT us souji, they want to make us into the same people we were before
if it WAS reincarnation i could leave all that in the past. but give me one good reason to believe if they're supposedly reconstructing us i'm not gonna wake up one day and find out he's back
[he looks down at Cream-san. And... honestly, that's kind of sweet? So, now he has to do a better job of petting this cat, if only because she was so important to Souji.]
That explains why you were way more willing to insult me than her.
[She absolutely is going to, this is her beautiful . . . son? Nephew-in-the-distance?
But no, that makes her laugh, because she just realized the misunderstanding.]
I meant I'd never met /Dante/ and that I've been asking after his powers. I've known this boy-- let's call him Yoru, to save on confusion and time-- since he was a child. I taught him for a while when he was eight and I was in my early twenties, and now that he's moved back here, we're reconnecting. And he views me in a maternal light, which is flattering, but alarming.
But I've seen animal cafes back at home too, it's just never occurred to me people would be so shocked at not feeling much of anything looking at them. The animal lovers must be taking over the city in a rate only second to Retrospec.
[ So they're still in the process of moving their things to this new place, and Yu has been ... obviously preoccupied for a while. It's clear he wants to say something, but he's tried and failed at least four times at this point. He keeps chickening out.
It's like halfway through the day when he finally blurts out-- ]
Hey, Souji.
[ Ah. Maybe it wasn't the best time to find his voice when he's in the middle of juggling a box full of their kitchenware. ]
... what do you think about having separate rooms?
[ being twins and knowing yu for his entire life, it's easy for souji to pick up that yu has been wanting to say something all day long. he hasn't said anything during those four attempts, figuring that if yu is hesitant to bring up whatever he has on his mind then maybe it's something that he shouldn't probe, but... of all things he thought that yu was going to bring up, he did not expect this. ]
