[oh... he's being touched. that's rare, it's usually the other way around-- but nevermind that, subaru watches the orange drizzle turn into a star, drying in the air, and whatever narrative komaeda wants to think natsume has with his fortunes towards someone who doesn't believe in anything but his own actions is fine.]

I wouldn't defend him~, Natsume's got a nasty, shady, ne'er-do-well sort of feel to him... That's why I have to embarrass him as soon as I can so people know he's human just like they are.

[that he's not some standoffish, high horse young man who knows it all -- natsume hates him for it, probably, but subaru has opinions.

he'll get a knife to pop it though, naturally startling at the loud noise even though he's the one that did it!!!!!]
