Hi there, everybody.

Even though there's a tendency to post a lot on these devices, there are times when you need to go to someone for advice.
Lest you never find answers, of course.
Please understand that this is just a silly little post just asking a single question: how do you define friendship?

...?

[Wait, now she wants to know what he wanted to say before stopping midsentence! That's not fair.

She pauses for a moment before shutting her eyes, thoughtful.]

It wouldn't be the first time I've put myself at risk. I know some basic self defense thanks to Yui and a normal guy's prime weakness. And hell if I'm going to let someone try to throw me under the bus.

[ Platitudes, mostly. Not that she needed the confidence boost from him.

Normal guy's prime weakness... poor, whoever'd be on the receiving end of that. ]

I wouldn't expect you to. Given how things ended up last year, can you really be sure that won't happen again?

[ A small pause. ]

Regardless, I'll do whatever I can to support you if that's what you really want. That's what friendship means to me.

[ Circling right back around to it. ]

[They would probably deserve it, it's fine.

But also, what do you mean she doesn't need the confidence booster, her confidence is literally non-existent and fake!!]

Yeah. Of course, that doesn't mean that I want a repeat... although what I'm more scared of is of the process of joining the student council ends up the same as what I heard.

[She doesn't like that idea.]

But supporting, huh... yeah, I wouldn't mind that. Both of those things.

Wait. Did she say...?]

[ ...

Victory. ]

That's fine with me.

For now, let's get you some rest. We can discuss this in earnest later.

... yeah, that's probably for the best right now. Might also need a glass of water, too.
