week 4

[Just like the previous week the status quo is restored with frighteningly quick efficiency. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets. Even the glass roses Choromatsu and Takumi broke after the trial in their fit of anger have been replaced with fresh ones. All signs that there was anything amiss this weekend are completely gone.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

Someone who hates me enough to have tried, and failed thanks to modern medicine, to kill me. I remember running into them again. I know it should be irrational to be afraid of someone in a wheelchair, but still... I-I mean she wasn't in a wheelchair the time she did attempt to kill me! That came... after.

Is she powerful? I mean... not like your powers, unless she does, in which case, yeah, like your powers. But there's every reason to be afraid of someone who has the capability and the will to hurt you, Nari.

Human. Completely and utterly human as far as I know. Freakishly strong for a girl that skinny, though... I don't know how she even survived. The shock of what happened should have killed her.

Frail-looking girls are often some of the most dangerous people on earth, with the right motivation.

She said 'Excuse me, can I ask you something?' and then just attacked when I turned around.

Oh, yeah. Definitely gotta be careful around the polite ones. You never know when they're just going to up and fucking stab you for no good reason.

So we should be careful around our cinnamon rolls?

Depends on the roll. Clarith and Arianna? Maybe not so much. Given how totally charming I find Rii-san, though, I wouldn't be surprised to find out she's some kind of extreme Machiavellian survivalist with a thing for astrophysics and throwing knives.

[A surprisingly reliable danger predictor: Junpei Tenmyouji's boner.]

Oh~? Sounds like little Junpei has a crush!

[So cute!]

[The first thing he learned about Nari Reno is that she can keep a secret.]

...I kissed her.

[ :D ]

Finally?

[He's caught between a sigh and a smile.]

You know, I get people are happy for us, but it's complicated? Excuse me for wanting to do right by her and not rush things.

Hey, I'm all for slow moves, okay? I mean, don't be like me and wind up pushing your best friend to marry your other best friend. Keep your gal close if you really love her.

[Cough.]

Love is--that'd be moving a little fast, don't you think?

Look, like is just one way of saying love, okay? There's different levels. You're more in the beginners stages where you can call it 'like'.

You can't just... that's a really intense thing to say in Japanese, all right? My feelings are... things are complicated, for me.

Don't put that as a facebook status... And I noticed that Japan seems to be kind of constipated about feelings. Be more like Europe. Just tell people you like them all the time and it makes them happy.

D-doesn't that lead to, uh, to... misunderstandings?

Not really. Because we actually talk about what our relationships with others are.

Huh...

[Healthy communication? SOUNDS FAKE. CITE YOUR SOURCES.]

...Probably scare her off if I tried that now.

Maybe, but... girls aren't as complicated as guys think they are. They prefer talking over waiting till you think the moment is right. If men did that, the world would be a little more peaceful.

...

[He rubs his arm.]

Maybe. Though I think... there are plenty of women who could stand to talk things out more before they decide things on their own, too.
