Yeah. That's true, but resting after a tough battle's more common than you think.
[ She sighs, placing her cup on the table. ]
--I admire the way you think. How as hard as it is, you took the time to consider both of your feelings, and realizing that...
[ She pauses. Unsure of what she wants to say next. ]
...that it's important to know what your true feelings are. Even if it's not easy. Even if you want to force something that may or may not be there... it's not fair to them.
[ A melancholy smile. ]
I'm glad that... that kind of love doesn't make you delusional, Inaba-san. It's seriously, seriously, amazing.
I suppose. I just... I still don't know what I'm going to do after all of this. Being in my own head hasn't really been the best for me when it comes to making decisions and well. I don't exactly have a good track record for "friendship" in this place.
[ It's so different from the Foundation. Back there, she had so many comrades. Here she feels like she's grasping grains of sand.
Kind of funny, how she's being really honest with herself here.
Then again, maybe that's just what she needed. Although she probably will need a few more opinions, too. ]
Don't worry, it's nothing difficult. I was just thinking that if I had to deal with someone potentially troublesome that I'd call you to let you listen in on the conversation just in case something went south.
... Ah, well. Depending on how that conversation goes, it might not end well.
[ Inaba Himeko: has read her future and knows herself well enough that she's aware just how fragile she truly is. If she weren't, she wouldn't be in this spot right now.

I might not be strong, but I'll do whatever it takes to protect my friends. [ A brief pause. ] That includes you.

[ She sighs heavily. ]
Not that where I live is a secret or anything.
[ ... ]
...if you don't mind, I suppose there is a favor I could ask. If you don't mind.
[ Totally glossing over the "friend" part for now, though. ]

Probably better not to push that button. ]
I think most of his friends understand, but, I get it.
--and just so you know, I'm taking that as a request directly from you. For your sake.
[ Not for her sense of satisfaction, or for Yuuto. ]

Honestly. I wouldn't worry. The worst thing that should happen is someone chewing you out. Other than that, you're safe. It might be okay.

She's such a weak coward, after all. ]

Asakura-san doesn't need to transform to get rid of nightmares, you know.
[ This. Might be the most she's smiled in days, but it's definitely a little less pleasant? ]
no subject
[ She recognizes what kind of smile that is, given that it's not something that Inaba herself hasn't done. ]

Not a problem. Although, you don't really need to thank me for that last part.
