“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

[ … puts down the plate…

at least he appears mollified for now until a certain inbox message sets him off again - but that’s later ]

Nacchin, maybe you need to become a heartbreaker in case something like this happens again.

[ though technically nothing even happened… but still! ]

[justonezero]

I really don't think that's going to happen...

[deto]

[ well, he tried. he does scoot his seat closer to nanashi in lieu of flopping against him uselessly out of petty jealousy. this boy is his, ok

and also at this point, the meat is a little (a lot) overdone so this boy of his will have to deal with rubbery meat oops ]

Oh - sorry, I lost track of time being a jealous idiot.

[ at least he can admit it ]

[justonezero]

It's okay. I can eat it if you don't want it!

[deto]

[ he hands nanashi the tongs. maybe he should take over for now… ]

I’ll eat anything. We can just cook up a new batch. [ nbd for deto, though he feels a little guilty about ruining the meat when nanashi prefers it to the veggies ] Did you have a good time talking to everyone here? Glad they invited you.

[justonezero]

[Utilizing them to put in some new meat and veggies!]

Yeah. After everything recently, it's nice to sit and eat with everyone, don't you think?

[deto]

Yeah, I… Well, I was a little confused about it at first. But then I realized everyone here is still taking things seriously. They’re just - not letting it control them, I guess?

[justonezero]

Oh, is that?

[What's emotional intelligence.]

[deto]

[ deto doesn’t exactly have emotional intelligence; he just too normal for this weird place. though at school, he’s probably the weirdest out of his friend group - the irony ]

You saw, right? Noir was crying, but she was also happy.

[justonezero]

[Too normie for this game tbh.]

Crying but happy, huh...

[Can't relate...]

[deto]

You don’t think so?

[justonezero]

I just don't think that's ever happened to me before?

[deto]

Oh. [ quiet for a moment ] You mean…

[justonezero]

-Eh? What's wrong?

[deto]

… Next time you cry because you’re sad, I’ll be there for you.

[justonezero]

...?

Um... Okay?

[deto]

[ a firm nod ]

Okay. But if I want to make you so happy, you’ll cry - does that make me a bully?

[justonezero]

[Blinking.]

H-huh? Wait, why?!

[deto]

Well?

[justonezero]

Why do you want to see me cry?

[deto]

So I can lend you my shoulder.

[justonezero]

And I have to cry for that?!

[deto]

Well - no. Mostly I just want to see you happy. But I think getting to experience that would be a good thing. So tears don’t always have to be a sad memory for you.

[justonezero]

I guess? But making me cry sounds weird no matter how you say it...

[deto]

…Too weird?

[ …maybe… ]
