How stuPID. I don't see why anyone would want to stay in a school that invites the suffering of its students by turning a blind eye to what goes ON.
( ...it's been one of his least favorite things about this school. It's much too like Yumenosaki when he was in his first year.
Not that he was any better.
Natsume half asks to think who she thinks she'll be when she graduates, but the answer is probably something Maya-like; either she doesn't know and it doesn't matter, or it'll be "someone better than who she was before". He can't imagine her saying something cute like housewife or kindergarten teacher, though they're both cute things to imagine her as. )
...Even if they kept on liVING, they would've CHANGED. No one stays completely the SAME. ( Just. some parts of them are immutable, or so he'd like to believe. ) But as long as they do their BEST, they'll probably stay human in their next life and not end up something utterly stuPID, like a lemming or a koaLA.

But you won't know. You will start anew with no memory of the past, and even if you meet again in another form, you will never see your friends or family ever again.
[ The person you are is gone. She will never be Maya Arisu ever again. ]
Most people are terrified of death for this reason. The only difference here is that you may choose to linger until you are ready.

But no one comes back from graduation, so who's to say all of that is true? Some people want to believe it isn't entirely so. Some people won't have a problem with it. Natsume's not entirely sure which camp he falls in, but it feels a little closer to the first, and he props his chin in his hand, pressing his palm to his mouth.
He moves it to ask something unfair, thinks about it, and continues on, careful. )
Does never seeing your brother again scare YOU?

She looks down at the table for a moment, but when she looks back up and meets his gaze, it's with that carefully unreadable expression. ]
"Scare" is not the word I would use.
[ It's not something she offers an elaboration on either, because her concern for her brother is something that needn't be questioned. She pushes for graduation and reformation while knowing full well it may lead to the two of them parting and never being twin souls ever again, but she can't allow herself to waver because of that.
No matter how dearly she holds her brother, they both need to be able to move on, individually if need be. ]

LoneLY? EmpTY? ( Better alternatives. ) ...It's fine to feel any of those THINGS, Little Wolf. It doesn't make you any less admirABLE.
( ...
His hand idly brushes against hers on the desk as he settles it closer. )
Not to ME. ( If anything, it's more... and maybe she doesn't need to hear this kind of thing, but maybe he wants to let her know, anyway.
He's always said things he doesn't have to to her. What's one more. ) But I've already complimented your strength-of-HEART, so I won't say it aGAIN. You'll just make that face at me you always MAKE.
( If she's not already making it now— )
no subject
It certainly is that face she's making, eyes narrowing when she's called out on the expression she wasn't aware she was making, pulling her hand back to herself but it's not the quick snatch back like it could have been.
UGGGGGGGGGGHHHH ]
...There was no need to say it to begin with.
no subject
You really are so... ( ...
But his head catches up with the rest of him and he closes his mouth on the rest of that comment, standing up—he has to lean on the table a bit, but he's okay. ) It's nice to hear it though, isn't IT? Even a genius like myself likes to be told I'm a good boy and that I'm doing the right THING.
no subject
You'd have to do the right thing, first.
[ Step 1: don't immediately piss her off ]
no subject
( Or it's colored by other things... It's not an unfamiliar sentiment to him regardless; it's not really that different than people being suspicious of him when he's offering aid. Sometimes you're shady and you just have to accept and own that. He rounds the table to ... leave, but he pauses at the edge.
... )
Thank you for talking with ME, Little Wolf. ( He moves closer but only to collect his notes; it'd be bad if he forgot those. ) ...I appreciate IT, more than you KNOW.
( And more than he's willing to say right now, because he doesn't have the words or capacity to say it in a way she won't grimace about, if she ever wouldn't. )
The 24th if you don't mind coming on a SunDAY, or the 25th if you want a school DAY. Pick ONE.
( Plenty of time. )
no subject
You leaving and getting some proper rest is thanks enough.
[ Closest thing to a "you're welcome" as he's going to get. What's the 25th, though, it's a student council meeting day which means she's going to be even less tolerant of bullshit. Going to school on a Sunday is unnecessary, but it does provide the opportunity to turn around and walk away with no obligation if needed. ]
...The 24th. It had better not be a waste of my time.
[ But she's not going to ask what it's for because she suspects any answer he gives her is going to make her go hm ]
no subject
I'll make sure that it isN'T.
( ...
he shouldn't say anything more unnecessary, so he'll head out first to go crash...
