[ he has too much leg, so he is 100% manspreading. no way around it. it's between that or stretching out his legs and potentially tripping over passersby.
quiet for a long moment, he does speak up eventually, his voice nonchalant. ]
[ yeah, that'd suck. she'd be devastated if any of her friends that she made here just went up and disappeared too. it's no different from dying. ]
Nothing we can do about that, really. The way I see it, we're just independent contractors to them. We can be let go at any moment without notice. Not that I'm not used to that kind of work environment myself, but it still sucks either way.
[ he shovels a slice of chashu into his mouth as he listens to her.
it will be a moment before he responds, continuing to eat silently. ]
I mean, I never thought any differently. It ain't like I just realized this. But all of my first years were here and it was easy to push the thought aside 'cause I needed to focus on them. [ he picks at his ramen idly. ] Yuji and Maki are both still here, but they'll eventually go home too.
[ don't even get him started on nanamin and geto. ]
I guess it would be less annoying to me if there was more permanence in this for us.
I mean, those two go hand in hand more than you think.
[ give her a moment to slurp up more of the soup. ]
But since you think that nothing we do here matters, then that means you can do whatever you want here, right? Like the things you weren't able to do back home.
I'm just saying that moping isn't going to get you anywhere. [ sluuuuuuuurp. ] You're probably going to say that you came out here with me today because I'm treating you, but... Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule anyway.

Megumi and Nobara are gone. That's all.
no subject
well, that's to be expected. those two are practically joined by yuji's hip from what she'd observed. ]
Doesn't sound like that's all. [ she continues to stare at him. ] You think it's for the best that they went home after... all that?
[ seoul, she means. ]

[ still, ] They'll probably be fine. It just fuckin' sucks that I couldn't say goodbye.

All of this was meaningless to begin with. I could have done without the reminder though.

[ he can go fetch the bowls for the both of them pls

Would you have wanted to stay here forever, then? If given the chance?
