Oh, I didn't mean to worry you. It's okay, really, but I just think...
( hm... how should she word it. there's a moment's hesitation, but it's quickly pushed through by certainty, and maple's voice is clear as the sunlight streaming in through the window when she speaks. )
I'd rather focus on remembering Add.
( the people whose names start with "s" are on the level of insects now, that's all. )
When I picked him up, everything turned into dust except for his jacket. Of course, the sleeve is missing on one side, but I was thinking that I might mend it.
Oh...that would be a wonderful project! A perfect way to remember him - a memento you can touch every day if you so choose.
[that, she means wholeheartedly. her glasses, a gift from her father, were that for herself - something she could wear every day, and feel that love given to her.]
Do you know if you'll make them match or create something new?
( the way she says create something new like maple not about to mend it, she aboutta make a whole new thing out of it. imagine if she took this jacket komaeda was supposed to have and said yes this will make a cute new dress for me to remember him by! probably not what helena meant, but would be lying to say the thought doesn't flit through her mind.
still, smile to her voice, it's not what she lingers on. )
I wonder if I'll have the material to make it match... but if I can, I think I'd like to. Add will come back eventually, and wouldn't it be nice for it to be whole, if so?
He'd probably say something about how you went to too much effort, and why did you bother, but what he'd mean was that he was touched by your work for him. He's that sort of man.
[she nods. there's a word for this she heard floating around....tsundere....]
( it sounds curious to her, but... not out of line with the boy she'd met. he had acted aloof, but he really had shown concern for ranger and others—right down to the end, it was his care for komaeda that led to such a circumstance too, wasn't it? maple's demeanour softens, and she presses the tips of her fingers together thoughtfully. )
I hope he returns soon. We'll give him a lovely welcome when he does.
I know we will. We'll make the fact that he's cared for so obvious that he can't even try to deny it - he'll have no choice but to accept us, and that we missed him.
[it's like she told Noah. they'll shove it in his face, and then he can't slide away from the fact that he's loved - that they know he loves back.]
( they're teaching him bad habits by rewarding the undesirable behaviour of dying, but maybe just this once, that's okay. maybe the care add deserves is unconditional, and they'll cross the bridge of his new character development problems when they get to it. )
Thank you, Helena. I feel much better after talking with you.
( it's nice... having somebody who understands your feelings. )
[and she means it - she's happy to be that support for Maple, to give her what she gives to other people. she deserves at least that much from the world.]
Please know...any time you want, I'm happy to speak with you. You're my friend, after all.
