How am I the younger one here?

[guileturncoat]

Younger people are always trying to act older by being too serious. That's one of the first steps into adulthood: act like you're so above everything.

[dereban]

The problem is that people aren't above anything.

[guileturncoat]

You're right, they aren't.

But you're still acting needlessly serious, Inaba-san.

[dereban]

. . . who said it's unnecessary?

[guileturncoat]

I am. Because we're not in front of any cameras here, you don't have to be Ms. 'serious and going to be the mom of the group' in this room.

[dereban]

You say that as if I would ever let up around you even if there weren't cameras.

. . . Then why did you make that sort of expression?

[guileturncoat]

Because I did, that's all.

But I think our conversation is done for today, Inaba-san.

[dereban]

. . .Right.

I'll be heading out, then. If you'll excuse me.

[ She closes her eyes, using the few seconds to cool herself off and go back to slamming her emotions shut. And she turns on her heel, walking towards the door. She reaches to the door and says- ]

I'll see you again soon.
