[and sometime in the late afternoon, closer to evening (and thus dinnertime) Akira begins his search of the mansion for Toi. he finds him in the game room, which isn't at all a surprise considering. . . teenage boy. . . Akira spends a lot of time here too!]

Have you tried playing Sm*sh Br*s yet?

[there's a cool character named J*ker on it you should play it!!]

[soba]

No.

[ it's funny because toi actually does not spend a lot of time in here at all, he just decided to finally properly check it out today. ]

That's the fighting game, right?

[survivaltricks]

[you are sending the wrong impression to Akira then, Toi!1]

Yep. It's a good way to kill some time.

Or ruin some friendships.

[soba]

[ let akira believe that toi is #relatable ]

Did you lose a lot of relationships from sucking?

[survivaltricks]

[SOMEWHAT FORLORNLY. . .]

I'll never forget her. . . Yukiko-chan. . . those were the days.

[he's being stupidly dramatic]

[soba]

She's in a better place.

[ don't kill yukiko off ]

[survivaltricks]

With better friends. Who suck at Sm*sh Br*s.

[rip yukiko]

[soba]

Good for her.

[ he is going to go back to

digging through the games ]

[survivaltricks]

[this is how all of their conversations go when Akira isn't being serious]

[a small snort, but after a moment. . .]

. . . how are you feeling?

[soba]

Probably the same as everyone else?

Annoyed. Tired.

[survivaltricks]

[a thoughtful noise]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

[but even so. . .]

Can I ask you a few questions about Meltryllis?

[soba]

[ hmmmm ]

What about her?

[survivaltricks]

[HMMMMM]

What was she like? On a daily basis, I mean. I didn't get to talk to her much.

[soba]

[ he was not expecting that question and it shows ]

... really proud? She'd make fun of you.

[survivaltricks]

[it's okay it is literally the only question he wanted to ask, Akira is weird]

You think so?

I'd probably deserve it.

[soba]

Well. She'd make fun of all of you.

[survivaltricks]

. . . only some of us deserve it.

[soba]

... yeah, sure.

[ does he agree

no but it's fine ]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . a small huff]

You don't have to be okay with what people said about her.

[soba]

Oh, don't worry. I'm definitely not.

[ ... ]

I just know that making a huge deal about it isn't going to do anything.

[survivaltricks]

Maybe not. But not talking about it at all because you think it's pointless is just going to make you miserable.

[if he isn't already miserable]

[soba]

Talking about it won't do anything either.

[ he's already miserable ]

[survivaltricks]

[Toi :(]

Then what do you think will help?

[ah]

Let me rephrase. . . I want to help. If you'd let me.

[soba]

... you're like, one of those really proactively nice types, aren't you?

[survivaltricks]

Yeah.

[HE JUST. OWNS UP TO IT]

I'm not sorry.
