[adsum]

[ ? no, he's not going to follow. There are two sets of stairs going to the ground floor and also an elevator, which I never remember is there but he probably uses it so that's where he's going. ]

[adsum]

Lack of love doesn't mean hatred...

[ Like, for as absent as their dad was in their life, they know in their heart of hearts he did not actually hate them. ]

Comfortable, with the two of you? Yeah.

[closewithnewintown]

[oh perfect that's even better. she is absolutely going to try to get into the elevator with him.]

[starrypoint]

Jeez, I might just give you five points for being cute.

[he's not down bad for the shopkeeper it's just a universal truth they're cute.]

If you were a kitten, what would your name be?

[please for god's sake this is the question he now asks everyone, i guess]

[adsum]

[ Maybe voluntarily being trapped in a small space with Stephanie for the twenty seconds it takes to get down to the ground floor was a mistake. He goes ahead and punches the button to the ground floor when he enters, and also the button to the third floor because it doesn't matter if the elevator goes up or down: one of them will leave. ]

[closewithnewintown]

[pauses, very briefly.

looks him straight in the eye.

slams the red button.]

[adsum]

[ PLEASE let him get eaten by a robot dog bc otherwise his nightmare world is sort of, you know.

Anyways, while Rokkun looks surprised when the elevator car plummets, he holds onto the handrail and spreads his feet a little more apart to brace himself and doesn't look all that concerned— like he's ridden the elevator this far down before and know what to expect, even if he doesn't like it. ]

[closewithnewintown]

[watches that curiously, filing it away for later...

when they stop, she stands in front of the buttons, arms crossed. and yes she is very small and it would be very easy to get around her, but is he 100% sure she wouldn't bite him? because the vibe is definitely there.]

I'd suggest you not step outside, but maybe you'd rather get torn apart by dogs than talk to me. That's your decision to make.

[adsum]

[ Oh no... letting them be the big brother for once ]

Yeah, I can do it! What do you need and who is it for?

[adsum]

[ He's been bitten by worse, but also read somewhere that human mouths are disgusting and bite wounds from people are the worst. ]

Making me choose the lesser of two evils, huh? I thought you didn't care to talk to me ever again? There's nothing more to say.

npc-kun....

[mermaidcursed]

( hello npc-kun it's-a her, yashiro. and rather than looking at wares, she's approaching the counter with a soft bundle in her arms. from what they can tell, it's cream-colored with some bright brown accents here and there, with sky blue trims. once she's to them, nene holds it out. )

I know we don't know each other... but. I thought that maybe, something nice could make the end of the month a little kinder for you. I hope you like it.

( 'it' being a soft, plush blanket... and at the center of one end is a hood attached, with cream and blue bear ears, and two button eyes. if they were so inclined, there's also a ribbon to tie it at the neck, also sky blue. it's very cute, and very soft. )

If you want to come by to the dorms for dinner, let us know, okay? One of us will definitely make sure dinner's something you like.

( "you don't have to be alone while you're scared." )

[adsum]

Huh? Oh.

[ Oh, this isn't what they expected at all, when they saw Nene enter the store with something in her arms and they were prepared to say that they don't buy wares, they only sell them. But then they look a little embarrassed— not for receiving a gift, though they don't know what they do to deserve it, but because they have to wonder how many people know and to what extent? Maybe there were people who heard them cry, or saw them practically live in the nurse's office those two days, or maybe their shopkeeper mask isn't as perfect and cheerful as they thought it would be. ]

Thank you...

[ They take the bundle from her and... presses their face against it, because this is the tried and true test of softness, whether it's fabric or a cat's stomach. Soft. ]

I don't think I'll be able to come to dinner, though. The days are getting shorter now, and it's going to be dark earlier, and... I don't want to be outside when it's dark.

[commences]

From an Ultimate, it means everything... if they don't love me, they hate me... but it's fine. As long as I love them, it's fine.

( ouma disliked komaeda, but komaeda still loved him above all of that, and the same goes for every other ultimate who found him intense. they want to stay away from him because he's like that, but... )

Hm? No. Don't you suffer from a body dysmorphic disorder? You didn't want me looking at you change at all.

( blink, blink. )

[adsum]

Just because he has a complex, that doesn't mean I can relate

[ Talk to him about his sibling for what?? He's not going to sit around with Amami and talk about their siblings like that's the only common ground they have. But he would have been calm, yeah. He would have calmly walked away. ]

My family has nothing to do with him, anyways
There's really nothing to talk about

[commences]

( is he offended? or shocked by the reply? "your family has everything to do with him," is what komaeda would type if he took back the pda. instead, he stares at it like he's thinking too hard about what to say next. he brings his knees up to his chest, laying his cheek on the top of his knees.

okay, wait. )

a complex about what?

( listen, komaeda doesn't even know this man has a sibling kink, and you know what, they've never really talked about family. whatever rokkun knows... maybe that should stay with him. )

[adsum]

Yes!!! Twenty five points!

[ They're cute, they're going to take those points regardless of whether they properly earned them ]

And, hmm... Anko.

[adsum]

What? No, I'm not going to change. I'm perfect as I am.

[ What is he talking about... they're thinking like, transitioning or something. ]

[closewithnewintown]

There wasn't. And then I learned something interesting. And since Komaeda wanted to be... difficult, about telling me anything else, I'm stuck with you. And you're stuck with me 'til I get my answers.

Just how much of your memory did you get back? All of it, or pieces?

[commences]

( komaeda and npckun are on two different wavelengths but making conversation. )

...? Is that so, then how will you get in the water?

( are they going to get in the water with their clothes on? )

[adsum]

Being called "onii-san"

[ Komaeda isn't the only person he pays attention to... there was Rika too and it's hard not to notice things when you've got beef with the other person

He doesn't want to talk about Amami though, he's not important ]

What did he want to ask?

[adsum]

...? I'm not getting in the water.

[ They're going to stay on dry sand and task Komaeda and Amami to bring bucketfulls of water over to them from the ocean ]

[starrypoint]

[oh noooo they took the points... he'll let them have it. but in exchange--]

Anko's pretty cute~. Okay, so the next point earner's gonna be less of a question and more of a challenge.

[he didn't award them any points this time and he knows it.]

Draw Daikichi!

[they remember who daikichi is.... right ☆]

[commences]

( "onii-san"... he's going to stare at the pda, and slowly delete it... he does have a story of attachment to those when it comes to family, doesn't he? he'll tap on the screen a little more... )

why haven't you met with... them.

( maybe something along the lines of it, he doesn't know how amami would start, but komaeda having taken part in rokkun's memory didn't believe that he should run in asking the other questions like that. no matter how good the intentions were. )

[adsum]

[ Oooooooohh my god, she's just here to squabble with him about memories and things she doesn't know what she's talking about again and he's having none of that, he had hoped they moved on from that. ]

Why? If you're just here to tell me I've "lost" because I don't remember everything, I don't need to hear it again.

[ going to sit down and lean against one corner of the elevator, maybe take a nap if he weren't so sure Stephanie wouldn't shut up and make it impossible anyways. ]

[commences]

...? Why?

( they're not going to stay dry because they have to get in the water? )
