[ Kawai-san... Rika feels like she's got enough on her plate right now, but at the very least the fact that Natsume can still speak about her in more casual terms should be a good sign. Holding back what feels like a sigh of relief, Shuichi peels himself from the locker as well when the other moves to leave, running a hand through his hair as if fixing that alone is actually going to do anything about the other things that brought on those remarks.

It doesn't sound like there's much else he can do though. He said what he wanted to, or what he thought would be necessary to be understood... he hopes, if it isn't too presumptuous, it might have proven even a little of the fact that things aren't always so black and white. There are always in-betweens, and people have motives and reasons not limited to the simple, superficial ones you can assume on the surface.

It's just a lesson that was costly for himself to learn as well, just like it feels to be for Natsume now. ]

...I will. Thank you, Sakasaki-kun.

[ Just like I thought, you're a kind person.

What he wants to say -- what he doesn't say -- and before he knows it what comes out is a copy of what Natsume himself had said, right in front of this same set of lockers, not that long ago. ]

I'll see you around.
