If I give everyone that I love a cake with a capsule prize inside of it, then maybe I can normalize it being for friends! I'll even learn new jokes or fun trivia, or I could put toys or presents inside?
[And now that she’s watched it with him, she may be able to notice how the way that his hair gets fluffy or flatter with his emotions is him mimicking Ghibli animation.]
That witch using her power to help and save people… She’s so cool! I wish I could do that too.
I know... well, personally I've only properly met two witches. One of them's an asshole. I'll never forgive her. The other is... well, he's okay. He's a dumbass dork, though.
[He repeats the request in a confused tone, his voice fading to silence as he hears how strange the word sounds on his tongue.
Then awful black tears start to fall and he has to lower his head.]
No one’s ever… [No one has ever asked him to come back to a world. If anything, he’s been told to stay away.] … is that really okay? That means you’d see me again..?
Yeah. I mean... I will say that you can't go into the time that I came from because it's dangerous, but after I go through a couple of yers, then. Yeah.
Visiting her. That solves... so much? And it's such a simple idea. He'd thought that he needed to cut their entire relationship, because he never wanted for Inaba to miss him. As selfish as it was, he both wanted to become someone she talked about like Iori and dreaded it. He never wanted to be someone who hurt her.
He's not allowed to have friends, because he'll leave them with only sadness.
But visiting...
Yuuto stares at her with a stunned expression. He can't wrap his head around it.]
[He didn't realize how tense he was until he lets out a shaky sigh. The tears on the table are gross and he moves to wipe them with his hand, which he notices has begun to shake.]
I thought... I was in the way..? You have so many people waiting for you... I didn't want to ever take you from them. I was only going to hurt you by being your friend, so...
But I could have visited. I... I'm so stupid, huh?
[ There's a bit of a pause; clear hesitation in her eyes before she lets out a heavy, worn out sigh. ]
My decision was always to return to Yokohama. But by doing so, I'd be leaving behind all the friends that I've met in the Foundation... that also includes my two boyfriends as well. But I was very much aware that there's a way to travel between worlds. There's people there who have actually done it, and even a Witch who can also do it.
Plus... I've read my story from cover to cover. I plan on figuring out how to travel to other worlds and to have people visit. I know that's a possibility.
[ She needs to believe that there's more to her life than the ending. She... has to exist even past that. If she doesn't, then she won't be able to handle herself. ]

[He leans forward on his elbows, his expression softening.]
I put my heart into it. I wanted to make you happy... So I'm glad that it turned out okay! Maybe 100% less plastic next time, though.
...
Unless... [stop this train of thought.]

[Yuuto's grin is half-teasing;] I'm good at picking my fictional idols then.
no subject
[ ... ]
Are you including me in that category too?
no subject
Yuuto goes quiet for a moment. Then shakes his head.]
I don't want for you to be my idol. Then you'll be out of reach.
no subject
[ A genuine question, but mostly to hear his further thoughts on it. It's more curious more than anything. ]
no subject
… Even though it feels like you keep moving forward, I can try to keep up right now?
Do you… want to leave me behind instead? I can… [His voice trails off.]
no subject
[...]
I don't... I don't want to.
no subject
[Yuuto shakes his head, admitting that he isn't an expert.]
I don't want for you to leave me either. I really like being by your side, you know. You're easy to be around.
no subject
[ She sighs. ]
I do have to go back home, eventually, though...
no subject
[Though that...
He sighs too. His expression softens, but he maintains a smile.]
I know. You have a home to return to. And... I don't want to keep you from that. But for now, um... I'm lucky to have you here.
no subject
[ She knows it is. Extremely so. She knows that the idea that she has to go hurts him, but... he's not the only that hurts. ]
But you should come visit sometime.
