I suppose that's true...

It's just weird.

[spacialeyes]

Oh.

Well, I don't want for you to be stressed out before you even come, because of the location...

I'm sorry. I wanted to have fun together, but have I just made things weird?

[dereban]

The location's just kind of... you usually don't go to a hotel to do things with friends.

[spacialeyes]

We could start a new trend~?

No, I understand.

I can think of something better. I'm sorry. Having friends is still really strange for me.

[dereban]

...I

I don't think I'd feel comfortable in a hotel, anyway.

Not this month.

It's fine.

[spacialeyes]

Thank you for telling me, Inaba.

At times like this, I wish that I could move out...

But for now! If I could get a section of the shrine for just us, would that be okay? Or we could do something else together?

I really just want to spend time together with my friends.

[dereban]

I suppose it would be fine as long as nobody interrupts.

[spacialeyes]

Yes! I'll keep everyone away from you, Inaba!

[brain goes whrrrr-]

Well. Except Ryoko!

Thank you so much!

I'm so excited! I can't wait until I see you again! This'll be fun, I promise! I'm going to read a hundred magazines on hanging out with friends and become the best!

[dereban]

I'm not so sure those types of magazines really help, Yuuto.

[spacialeyes]

But why would they publish an unhelpful magazine?

It's okay! I'm a fast learner, if that's your concern.

By the time that the weekend comes around, I'll be such a natural that you'll be happy you know me!

[dereban]

To get people to spend money on it.

I'm not unhappy to know you, though???

[spacialeyes]

how dare they defile something as pure as friendship with capitalism

Are you sure? I'm

[He accidentally sends that message, but at least he doesn't finish the thought. No one needs to know what he knows: That 'Yuuto' is a terrible person, no matter what he does. ya know. the self-loathing thing.]

I'm glad.

I'm happy to know you too. I wouldn't change meeting you for anything, Inaba.

[dereban]

That's just how the world works sometimes.

And of course I'm sure.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto is smiling like an idiot. It feels nice to be un-abandoned.]

Thank you.

I'm so happy we met.

Let's make a lot of happy memories together. For as long as I'm allowed, please.

[dereban]

Alright.

Let me know what time and I'll be there. If you need to cancel or change anything, also give me a heads up.

1/2

[spacialeyes]

Okay! Thank you thank you thank youuu!!!

I'm so so happy!

Thank you, Inaba!!!

2/2 - cw: swear

[spacialeyes]

[... give him a few minutes to get to this point in his talk with Ryoko.]

HOLY FUCK

I'M SO SORRY

[dereban]

What did you do.

[spacialeyes]

i just wanted to have a mini fridge!

[dereban]

What does a mini fridge have to do with anything?!

[spacialeyes]

Wait, have you never been to a hotel? Isn't that the highlight?

I um

Ryoko said that's not what hotels are for

[dereban]

I died in the last hotel I was in, so yes, I have been to one.

No, it's not the highlight.

She probably said that because taking your ex to a hotel is weird because of what people do in hotels as couples.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto just took a lot of psychic damage.

He has to stare at the message for a long time. It's hard to focus on how much he hates the label 'ex' when he sees what she just admitted above it.]

Inaba

Inaba

[He's not sure what to say. On his side of the message, Yuuto is 'crying' without tears.]

inaba

[dereban]

I'm here.

I'm fine.

[spacialeyes]

Mm.

Inaba

I'm so glad that you're here, but

fine is

I'm sorry. I almost hurt you again.
