From: Hiyoko | Mielikki

Guys! I met a bear! We bonded over the ancient ritual of single combat and now we are brothers forever.

Check it out!

[There is actually a selfie of her and a bear. They both look a little bruised. She looks very pleased with herself.]

And before I forget! Nageki, I forgot to ask you who your god was. Let me know.

Comments

[talkbirdytome]

[Well she can't really say it's to make sure he's looking after Nageki properly.]

I just wanted to visit.
You know say hi
meet the neighbors
borrow some sugar
that kind of stuff.

[readerofthestars]

He's not normally available.

[talkbirdytome]

What?
Why not?

[readerofthestars]

I don't know. I've barely spoken to him. If you want to meet neighbors, try elsewhere.

[talkbirdytome]

Seriously?
He's at least taking care of you, right?

[He'd better be. Or Hiyoko is giving him a piece of her mind.]

[readerofthestars]

It's fine. It's not a big deal.

[talkbirdytome]

It's not fine!
He's supposed to be taking care of you.
That's how this shinki thing works!
Is he feeding you properly?
Do you need me to bring you anything?

[Hiyoko you're not his mom...]

[readerofthestars]

I'm fine, Miss Tosaka.

I'm dead. I don't require much.

[talkbirdytome]

But shinki still eat.
Right?
They told me shinki still eat.

[readerofthestars]

We can. But that doesn't mean we have to.

[He spent five years not even thinking about it it's not even habit to eat anymore.]

It isn't something you need to concern yourself with.

[talkbirdytome]

[Well she supposes that's good information to have. But even if the food isn't necessary, shinki do still get hungry. So it's not right to deprive them.

But that's really not the important thing here.]

Yes it is!
I'm worried about you.
I want to make sure you're okay.

[readerofthestars]

That's unnecessary.

[talkbirdytome]

No it's NOT!!

[Because she knows him. On his own, Nageki will hole himself up in the library.... or wherever since they're not at school anymore, and just sit in the corner being lonely. She can't just leave him alone knowing that. For the same reason she always pestered him in the library back home. Because someone has to.]

[readerofthestars]

I'm not interested in your help.

[He can't figure out if he reminds her of someone, or if maybe they're from the same world when he was alive, or if she's just like this with everyone, or worse, if he's being pitied. He has no interest in any of that. Did Sora or Ayumu push interest in him on other people? He feels a sort of tension in his spine like somehow, this is all a big joke being played on him.

He preferred being ignored.]

[talkbirdytome]

[She knows he's just prickly like this, but it still hurts a little for him to say that. There's a pause before the next response.]

Even if you're not, I still want to help you.
At least give me a chance.

[readerofthestars]

I don't need help. I've already said I'm fine.

Have a good afternoon, Miss Tosaka.

[talkbirdytome]

Wait!
If you don't want me to come visit you
maybe you could visit me sometime?
Please?

[readerofthestars]

I see no reason for it.

[Ouch.]

[talkbirdytome]

[Rejected in record time. Still, she can't just give up.]

Because we're friends.
Isn't that a good enough reason to want to see you?

[readerofthestars]

We've spoken once.

[talkbirdytome]

[They've spoken many times but he doesn't remember that and she can't tell him about it.]

Then let's talk again!
It doesn't have to be at my place.
Or your place.
We could meet somewhere.

[readerofthestars]

If you're interested in friends, speak to Sora.

[She's so stubborn he's starting to feel tired...]

[talkbirdytome]

I'm sure he's really great but that doesn't help me be friends with you.

[readerofthestars]

You're stubborn.

[talkbirdytome]

Always.

[Not even gonna lie there.]
