( they're not, and komaeda-arata will never feel like he failed npc-kun or rokkun, or any other arata, and then i'll have to have him drink the bottle of poison that he has after everything's all said and done. )

...Well, you own all of me is what you said.

( but did komaeda confirm? no... but no need to say that. )

You can make me one, since this is a special condition.

[adsum]

[ Stop, they'll be fine, ]

You have to give me all of you[r money] first.

[commences]

( i know, but sometimes komaeda just... has a Koment. my phone just auto corrected to that and you know what... )

Hmm... Just like an Arata to want someone in the most abstract ways.

( he laughs, shaking his head. )

You have to make the totem first... right?

[adsum]

[ How many Koments has he had for your phone to know ]

Money upfront. This is how commissions work.

[commences]

( please i don't want to know... how long have i been in this hell... a month before yogen, that must have been the koment of all moments beginning. )

...?

( really? he's interested, looking at npc-kun for a bit, and his head cants to the side thoughtfully. )

Alright... Am I allowed to watch you make it, how do you place power into it... show me, show me...

( if he had a tail... it'd be wagging, unfortunately he points at the door. ) I'll get you the money now... will you give me 10 minutes?

[adsum]

[ That's not how it works, no, they'll get nervous if Komaeda's sitting there watching them, they'd have a knife in their hand, don't test them—- ]

10 minutes.

[commences]

Just 10.

( he wants to see the butterfly so bad, but he'll waves his hand towards the other as he makes his way out of the shop, and turns the corner towards the locker...

three minutes. )

[adsum]

[ ...

...

...

gets antsy waiting and goes outside into the hallway to see if Komaeda's out there ]

[commences]

( the way gmail hid this from me.

they'll see komaeda-arata opening his locker, and stacks, and stacks, and stacks of money, just... rich if npc-kun has really good eyes. he's picking out a few of it, and then he closes his locker after, and then slowly turn around... )

[adsum]

[ gmail wants Komaeda to abandon his son

who has eyes just for money and if Komaeda turns around with only a few fat stacks of cash, he's turning around to this face. All the money. Give. ]

[commences]

( gmail does, it's because it knew they'd be greedy! )

... No.

( he knows what the face is for, and he's not going to do what the other is thinking. )

Think of it as your allowance, and you don't need it all at one time. ( pinches their cheeks with his free hand, before handing them what he has. )

[adsum]

[ noooooooo

takes the money, but like, sadly ]

How am I supposed to live off such a paltry amount...

[commences]

( the way gmail said no found family...

noooo not his son sad now, oh, i'm dying. sighs. )

You're saving up, aren't you? Hm... Besides, you have more than most in this school, there's no need to mock the poor.

( saying npc-kun is rich now. )

Don't spend everything in one place.

[adsum]

More than most in this school isn't very hard.

[ Komaeda, you're the 1% with the rest of the school under the poverty line and npckun just breaking even. Despite all the money they're earning from the shop, it's not like they're rich rich. ]

I set aside what I can for expenses and stuff, but the rest of it... I have something I need to buy.

[ Yes it is all going to one place ]

[commences]

...They're poor, but they're managing.

( he's just luckier than most, but it's not like having this money is a good thing. he's using it wisely, and that means what he has in his hands is what npckun gets.

unless... )

What do you need to buy... I'll do what I can, you are stuck with me...

( because wants and needs are different, and he's hearing them out when they say it like this. maybe they can share their dream purchase with him... )

[adsum]

[ Are they managing, though? Some of those guys are living off granola bars and blood water. ]

It's a secret! If you fully fund me, you'll get to see when I buy it!

[commences]

( stop sometimes you gotta ball hard, hustle hard. )

Our secret!

( he says with the same enthusiasm, a smile on his face as he looks down at the other. )

We pinky promise... and keep it between us.

[adsum]

Noooo— The secret's between me and [ ... ] the other party!

[ Same enthusiasm, smile on their face ]

If I tell you what it is, you're going to be so mad at me, so there's absolutely no way you get to know!

[commences]

Why would I be mad?

( mad? komaeda mad? can he even be mad? sad, sure? but mad... it's like a feeling he isn't sure he can comprehend about them.

he wants to ask is it something like giving up hope, or falling into despair or... he pauses, staring at the smile on their face. it's probably nothing that falls along those lines, so it must be something else, and a child's mind always thinks worse than the parent, but komaeda feels like... he doesn't get it. )

...?

[adsum]

[ ... ]

For the same reasons I get mad at you.

[ ... ]

But never mind that! It'll be fine in the end, so you should just give me all your money! Hand it over!

[commences]

...Why do you get mad at me?

( ... )

I'm interested, you can't just say one thing... and then hide it... do you hate me that much?

( why else would they hide it, what is going on, but he doesn't feel inclined to hand over everything he has, especially if he's going to hate it.

but maybe he's just that unlucky. )

[adsum]

I don't!

[ ignoring the first question, addressing the second is more important and they step forward to give Komaeda a hug, because either he'll let them and they can prove they don't hate him, or he'll step away and in that case they're going to corral him back to his locker to retrieve the rest of the money.

... ]

I don't hate you. You help make being here bearable.

[commences]

Because of the money?

( he doesn't mind it when it's the only thing the other is fixated on, but komaeda already knows as a person that doesn't matter either. he doesn't fault npc-kun for it, nor would he ever because of how he sees himself. )

P-kun... tell me why I'd be mad, at you or someone else.

( you ever get hugged and try to shimmy out, but to the side... stop!!! )

[adsum]

That too.

[ anyways!!! can't get out of an npckun hug that easily when they have to do it to keep him here, arms looped loosely enough for Komaeda to be able to move, but not so much that they can't fall into step with him when he does. ]

But it's because...

[ ... ]

...never mind. Maybe only I would be mad about it, and wanted you to be too.

[ The times when they're the angriest, distraught to the point of tears, Komaeda has already seen that plenty. ]

[commences]

( "that too," what does that mean, i mean, i know what it means, but komaeda-arata has to close his eyes, and think about it for a moment as npckun holds onto him. he fails at trying to get away, so he stands there, staring down at the other as he tries to figure them out. )

...Don't do that.

( what's with arata's holding out! this is horrible! why! but it's an odd thing, to... be upset, or mad, he's been upset a few times within the school, but as for anger... it's been awhile. )

You'll do something... buy something that'll make you angry, and hopefully me... just as upset?

( ... because that's what money is for? to purchase. ) What is it that you're after...
