I'm not brooding. [...] I'm just sorting some shit out.

[wheft]

[ she was going to say something, but their orders are suddenly up. ]

Hold that thought. Help me get our bowls.

[rikugan]

Yea, yea. Just stay seated.

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

and he'll make quick work of it too. ] Here. [ take your bowl, mothmon. ]

[wheft]

[ she takes her bowl with a grunt of thanks and starts slurping up the noodles hungrily.

they presumably eat in silence until: ]

...I think most of us have thought about it. Like, what's the point, right? At least you aren't alone in that.

[rikugan]

[ 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.

[wheft]

[ she chews while hearing him out. so he really does care for his kids... ]

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

[rikugan]

That depends on who will be here with me.

[ a thoughtful pause. ]

If it's just me, then fuck no.

[wheft]

Really? You don't want to be alone that badly?

[rikugan]

It has less to do with loneliness than it has to do with purpose.

[wheft]

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.

[rikugan]

[ he shovels a slice of chashu along with ramen into his mouth, taking his time to chew as he ponders over her words. ]

I can do more at home than here though...? [ so, what then, ish? ]

[wheft]

[ she just shrugs. ]

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.

[ everyone else's got places to be and things to get to to cope, after all. ]
