[ IT'S NOT GASLIGHTING, HE WASN'T, HE'S JUST SAYING SUBARU IS WRONG but I can believe the counselor doing this, sometimes you have to shoot down both options to make somebody think ]

There's a point where hope becomes presumptuous, and happiness indulgent, though.

[ Please be more realistic, you guys. also he doesn't let go of Komaeda's hand, no ]

( he's spared... today. they need teruteru here so he can be the true judge of subaru's cooking, because komaeda's going to stand up so he can look over the counter to see better. if rokkun wasn't holding his hand... i swear. )

Akehoshi-kun really likes happiness, to the point that he...

( it's obvious, isn't rokkun? probably can't tell how much a caterer the other can be, but he won't call it out just yet. )

...People are hopeful either way, it doesn't matter the feeling. Being happy is just a plus... what makes you happy, Rokkun? As you can see, what makes Akehoshi-kun happy is seeing others happy.

[look he has eggs and bacon in the same pan it's delicious and ghibli. he's going to put them on his pan-toasting bread when they're cooked to his preference (slightly runny egg and not-quite crisp bacon)

... but komaeda totally took his question, so subaru'll stop his scowling at rokuro and consider his interest piqued, keeping an eye on his cooking]

[ He can say what used to make him happy, but this and that has made it irrelevant. ]

...No one thing, I guess. Nothing comes to mind.

[ what's the opposite of hope class ]

( despair, and komaeda would lose his mind if he dared say those words. )

...Well, there you have it.

( time to look at subaru, because he's going to be the one with the issue here. )

[he is... subaru's head is tilted to the side, brows drawn together in thought.

... ... ...]

The sound of rain against the rooftop's nice. The stars are nice. Holding the hand of someone you like is nice. Aren't those reasons to be happy?

[small things, things that make people happy.]

Just 'cause you can't think of any doesn't mean there's none~. You seemed pretty happy when I talked up Maddy's not-confession scene earlier, for example~. ♪

Oh, you're right. I thought of something else.

[ Murdering Subaru feels like it would make him happy. ]

But, like I said, it's not altogether important for me to be happy. I'll take what I can get, but there's no reason to put the extra effort into it. You definitely don't need to accost me in my own classroom at the end of school.

( ... he's insane.

he won't sit down, but he's finally going to take his hand back from rokkun. )

Let me help Akehoshi-kun make the plates.

( IF rokkun let's him go, he'll be on your side to help you subaru, give him a few minutes. talking about accosting, is that about what komaeda did? )

You were leaving, it was the only option I had at the time. I thought we were partners in crime...

[if he thinks murdering subaru sounds great now just wait!!!!

but subaru will appreciate the help even though it's simple, it's pan-toasted bread layered with slightly runny eggs and not-so-crispy bacon, the kind of meal that a mom might indulge her kid with or a teen standing alone in his kitchen would make before taking his dog on a walk just to feel normal.]

And on the flipside, that just makes me want to visit you more.

[he's a defiant person by nature]

I'm taking a break from crime.

[ Komaeda can't use that excuse on him all the time— Rokkun's already told him he's playing the waiting game until graduation or until something else forces his hand, but that's neither here nor there, letting Komaeda go help make the breakfast neither of them are going to eat because it's after school. ]

Both of you could probably stand to know comfortable silence. I don't mind company, but...

[ Don't talk to him? Don't interact with him. Don't try to reel him in and make him do things when he's already set on doing not those things. ]

...Is that it? You're right, maybe I should just...

( comfortable silence? he guesses that's one way to stay to themselves, mind their business, and maybe this wasn't the best time for komaeda to pick up a knife as he looks down at it. )

For that sort of silence, spilling blood is the only way.

( it's the aftermath of being trapped within the void for no one to bother you, he thinks as he taps the sharp end of the knife against the table. turning away, he's looking for the plates so that he can pass them out, and once he finds a large one, he holds it out for subaru to take.

as for what subaru does? well, rokkun did that to himself. )

[comfortable silence... subaru told someone else he can get maybe an hour max, just because of class, and he'll take the plate from komaeda to prepare the presentation. they're going to eat breakfast after school.

... he's also going to take the knife.]

We're not spilling blood in the kitchen, Maddy, you're gonna contaminate the food.

[it wouldn't be quiet anyway... not with subaru and komaeda around...]

Roku-chan, do you just go straight home after school?

[ Komaeda is right. Rokkun should just slaughter them both; that's how he'll get his peace and quiet. ]

No. Sometimes I'll be working in the art clubroom, sometimes I'll leave school, but I don't go straight home. I spend time in the forest, mostly.

[ Since there's nothing for him at home. ]

( komaeda won't come back this time, make your move, rokkun.

with his knife taken away which is a shame, he no longer wants to help anymore since he's already retrieved a plate for them, so instead he looks towards rokkun at the mention of the forest. the symbolism is there, the meaning behind it, but he doesn't say anything on it, looking to the side now as if he doesn't understand the context. he walks back over to the other side the counter, and rather than just sitting back in his chair, he's trying to sit in rokkun's lap instead.

let him, he wants to see eye to eye with subaru anyway, and wants to block rokkun's field of vision. )

Ah, the forest... I'm actually quite excited about that, actually.

( since hikaru is going to go with him there, soon. he looks at the bacon and eggs, what toast that subaru has worked on, and he hums in thought. )

Are there any rivers nearby?

[yall? right in front of his eggs bacon open faced sandwich?

honestly jealous. he wishes he had someone to sit in his lap. heres ur fuckin food you gays]

We'd hear them, wouldn't we? Or maybe not, we didn't really have a river where I came from -- just the sea.

[ Right in front of his eggs bacon open faced sandwich, hands clasped loosely in front of Komaeda's stomach and he's not so much taller that Rokkun can't see Subaru over his shoulder. ]

...There's a river, yeah. At least on my way home.

( stop think of the plan in the future akehoshi-sama. )

You should take us to the river.

( he'll pick up half of the sandwich because the other half is subaru's, and he'll turn a little in rokkun's lap as he settles the food in front of his mouth. god, i'm so sorry subaru. )

It can be an adventure for all of us — ( and npckun, npckun will come. ) Akehoshi-kun might get lost, though...

[the plan can be thought of and also he can be jealous. hope komaeda and rokuro enjoys theirs, subaru's tastes like the bitter yearning for someone six inches shorter than him]

I won't! As long as I have a hand to hold, I won't wander off. I'll even take your mechahand, Maddy, so Roku-chan can hold your real one.

I'm not bringing you home...

[ Which is where this is headed, he thinks as he, yeah, takes a bite of the sandwich in front of his mouth. You bring two guys to a river and try to abandon them there and they'll make up some sort of excuse to tag after you. ]

Besides, neither of you can leave yet, can you?

( subaru PLEASE shut the fuck up, i can't take it. )

I never asked to go home with you, but... am I not good enough for you to take? ( that said, he'll wipe away any of the left over... idk crumbs from rokkun's lips afterwards with his thumb, and then he'll turn around to face subaru properly. he'll bring that same hand to his mouth, licking away a bit from his finger— )

Tell Akehoshi-kun his sandwich was nice.

( he sets the sandwich down, and it's true they can't leave yet, or well, komaeda hasn't tried so... his eyes lift up to meet with the blue set before him... have you? )

[STOP LET HIM HOLD YOUR MECHAHAND!!!!]

You can tell me it's nice yourself, Maddy.

[first off. he is saying that with a point.

... secondly, and with a sigh--]

Nah, not yet... I wish I could though, I'm dying to check out the fun stuff you guys have around here... Macchi and Hiroppi aren't the kinda people who go out their way to have fun like that, and I don't wanna ask people who don't know...

[... like the rest of the student body mostly]

[ me as Rokkun wanting to leave,

He does not tell Subaru that his sandwich was nice, even though it was. ]

It's just forest out there for miles... "Fun stuff" would be finding river rocks, or running away from bears.

I didn't t— ...

( the way he really won't tell him that it's nice, and all komaeda had was crumbs, and he's not going to tell either. it's the list however that makes komaeda silent for a moment, and then abruptly he's going to slide off rokkun's lap, and maybe two or three seats over.

he'll cross his arms on the counter to lay his head down. )

What do you think of wishing rocks, Akehoshi-kun?

Not gonna lie, Roku-chan, that sounds fun to me.

[... he's a little off his rocker! just a bit. the river rocks sound more fun, because they'd be rounded and pretty and nice to hold, but being chased by a bear? oh that would be a once in a lifetime story to share.

the next question catches him off guard though, and he stares at komaeda... then his head turns up in thought, humming.]

Wishing rocks? We had one of those school legends about 'em back at Yumenosaki, it was called the Blossoming Dream Crystal! [i tled this story i get to nice up its name.] It's said to be able to grant the wish of whoever holds it... And it's supposed to be super pretty. At least, I feel like it is!

[in his vague dream it was.

i'm so sorry this is enstars canon kinpri and them are also canonically in the same universe going by the last chapter]

But as for what I think, I guess it'd be super cool if they could really grant wishes.
