rewriter | w7 not-curfew: everyone confess your crushes to ylfa.

[ the situation really sucks but fuckin lol ]

There's soda.

[ ikea soda... ]

I don't want soda!! [bitches about this instead of contemplating the reality of the situation]

[ passes him a lingonberry soda. deadpan: ]

There there.

Keep it! I'm going to do some work.

[He's going to reorganize this IKEA to his liking and there's nothing anybody can do about it]

[ sippies the soda instead ]

You're the type to throw yourself into your work.

[Haru figuring this out at endgame]

It's either that or sit here and worry, and to be honest, that's all I've been doing for weeks.

[just leaning against haru extremely tired.]

Kazuki said I could have one beer. [where is the promised beer....such liars........] I was going to drink it all, the whole beer, but now it's gone so I can't.

Also, I'm out of money and I got Stella again.

I thought you were done with that game.

[ he'll lean back on her, equally exhausted. ]

Better not to drink in case we have to fight Ruby tomorrow or whatever. Have some froyo.

When did I say that? I have to get Kai, still. But it's just been four Stellas...

[okay she will eat froyo.]

Haru, if it makes you feel better, Ruby looked like a clown when she blew us up.

That does make me feel better.

[ he doesn't want to kill ruby but he does think she at least deserves to look like a clown ]

...How do you feel about our reaper plan now?

Mine didn't change. I'll still go with you if you do. But let's just become llamas instead.

Sure. I could go along with that. If they can make us reapers for winning, they can make us llamas.

I'll go live with you in the mountains, and we'll eat grass every day.

...Yeah. Glad we can break the curse making us human.

[ he looks a little sad before he finally talks about this stupid thing that happened. ]

I was afraid of a lot of things, but not Ruby doing this. Should've paid more attention.

...I feel stupid, too. She was sad all the time. She wouldn't answer any questions about herself, either. And she just - it didn't make sense, her reasons for not trusting Kiichi and Aika.

I thought she was just lying to hide that she was going to get in trouble.

Yeah. It was weird. She'd change the topic whenever I tried to ask her anything about herself, too.

[ icly haru would never distrust a Friend so it doesn't matter. his only regret is maybe not just telling kiichi and aika earlier, before they received that letter telling them to keep things to themselves. ]

I don't think we can change her mind.

I don't think so, either. [mainly because of her bad charisma score.] But I think she's our friend, so maybe we should try anyway, even if it won't work.

But maybe we should confiscate her bomb and then try.

Definitely confiscate the bomb first.

[ important order of operations here ]

...She might try to kill us herself, Ylfa.

I know. I won't let her do that. I'll even kill her if I have to. [she is so unreasonably confident that she could and will never grow or change.] I'd just rather not.

Hope it won't come to that. [ he thinks... if the other reapers don't intervene, they could maybe stand a chance? as a group? kind of hating this train of thought. ] I don't want to kill anybody else. Reaper or no.

You don't have to. [but she's still going to, if it comes to it.] You don't have to do anything you don't want. And you didn't make Ruby go crazy because she hated how horrible you were. You're not horrible at all.

[ slight cant of his head ]

Do you think you're horrible?

A little, but... you're not. So we're not.

[ gentle earflick time again ]

You're not even a little horrible. Or if you are, I am too.
