give your friends a surprise
Who: EVERYONE
What: FAMILY MEETING
When: 8/4, right after school closes.
Where: Student council room
Warnings: Eventually, probably.
["If my friends back home were acting like this, I would've already locked them in a room and forced them to figure out their feelings."
the job puts all of her considerable superspy skills to the test. she knows where every normal kid's locker is; it's easy enough to slip the note into each that morning. if it's someone who she knows would be unable to read the note, she tells them its contents, but keeps her own involvement out of it. lies of omission don't count.
the note reads:]
I have very important information about this place. Please come to the student council room after school ends today.
- Nao Sato
[and if the text looks just a bit girlier than you'd think she'd write, hey, you don't know her. she's got layers.
either way, it's a pretty interesting proposition: the student council room door is, for the first time in seemingly ever, wide open. anyone can walk inside - and, hopefully, most everyone should. because it's only when Stephanie thinks that she's got enough of them inside that she actually enters the room, shutting the door behind her.
click.
it locks. she grins, spins the key on her finger, and slips it into her pocket.
"How are you supposed to do that with grownups?"
the exact same way, she's decided.]
We haven't had any meetings since, um. Well. The last one. But, I'm pretty sure nobody has no more murders to report, so it shouldn't be too bad, and we can all just focus on the most important task: Getting along! All of us are on the same team, but most of us barely even know each other; some of us even hate some of the others! [SHE SAYS, LIKE SHE DOESN'T ACTIVELY DESPISE KOKICHI] So, I figured we could spend the evening fixing that problem. Play some games, talk about stuff we've discovered since the last time...
And, maybe, if everybody does a really good job, I'll unlock the door!

He'll never get it. I don't know why, but he never will.

There's no other way of helping him. So, you can only help with whatever happens after. [pick up the pieces. clean his messes.]

( even if komaeda is without remorse- can he be taught? she doesn't know. but she can try, until trying does her no good, can't she? and once again, nene draws stephanie into a hug, petting her hair and resting her chin on the younger girl's head. it's a gentle scolding, but... )
I know he's done a lot- and he's hurt people. So... if you don't want to be involved, you don't have to be. No one will blame you. But don't tell me I should give up.

[than he always made it look.]
I've mostly given up on him being a better person. [it's like stingy, honestly.] I'm never gonna give up on being his friend. [ditto]

Lots of people don't- but...we are. It's the sum of our parts- its up to us and the people we learn from to make that mess into something good, though. It's that mess that makes us human. So... even if it can be difficult to deal with, don't write people off just for being messy, okay? Everyone has their moments.
( even stephanie, considering tonight. but... she's not gonna say that right now. )

I am gonna unlock the door. I'm not a liar.

Next time, I'll just trick the people I know need to be tricked. [there, perfect, correct lesson learned.]
