[ The recording starts showing Zero with an unamused shinki on his shoulder. ]

The temple of Chikusa's god. Where is it?

[Chikusa's apathetic voice chimes in.]

Someone please tell the god of festival stalls to leave me alone....


[ooc: After this. Zero. Chikusa. ]

Chrome.

[kokuyoyo]

[A pause.]

I only met her once....

[And it involved him sort of insulting her name, so. This is news to him.]

[moonlitknight]

That doesn't negate the fact that she considers you her friend.

[kokuyoyo]

That seems one-sided....

[moonlitknight]

That's the thing about people who care about you. It doesn't matter if you reciprocate.

[ It's the same for him and his brother, so he understands how Chrome must feel, at least a little. ]

[kokuyoyo]

....That's annoying.

[Or, rather, frustrating and confusing, and he doesn't like it.]

[moonlitknight]

That's fact, so you better get your act together before you end up hurting her.

[kokuyoyo]

Then she should leave....

[moonlitknight]

People who matter don't leave, moron.

[kokuyoyo]

I'm fairly sure that's not true....

[moonlitknight]

[ You thick-headed idiot. ]

Would you leave your god?

[kokuyoyo]

[Quietly, his body starts to tense up again.]

Not if I had a choice...

[moonlitknight]

[ He's hit a nerve. ]

Then, don't say stupid things.

[kokuyoyo]

I'm not.

But you should know.... no one here has a choice.

[moonlitknight]

Having few choices and no choices are two different things.

That's why the few we do have matter.

[ He hauls him off his shoulder and sets him down on the ground. ]

Don't write people's feelings off just because you don't know how to deal with them.

[kokuyoyo]

[Oh, he- guesses he's allowed to stand now. Chikusa adjusts his balance again easily, body curling once more into his usual slouch, like just existing and having to think is a weight.]

Do you?

[moonlitknight]

Go home, Chikusa.

[kokuyoyo]

[....This seems too easy.]

That's it?

[moonlitknight]

If you start feeling guilty, you're going to end up stinging your god.

That's why he doesn't get you in trouble.

[kokuyoyo]

There's nothing to feel guilty about... You're annoying.

[And confusing, and Chikusa doesn't understand any of this at all. Still, he takes an uncertain step away, still eyeing Zero warily like he's expecting him to go back on his word.]

[moonlitknight]

[ You should feel weary because Zero's maturity level has just gone and dropped off the radar and one moment he's standing in front of him and the next his form blurs and he's on the other side meters away and in his hand - Chikusa's hat. ]

You're right, there's nothing to feel guilty about.

[ And he starts walking off, hat in tow. ]

[kokuyoyo]

[FIGHT HIM, ZERO]
