No smiles? None at all??

[anklets]

...A small one.

[imaginemeandyuu]

I'll take it! Just as well, otherwise I'd have to drown my sorrows in chocolate cake.

[anklets]

Mm.

[Takes another bite of cake and then licks the frosting from her thumb.]

Just as well.

[imaginemeandyuu]

Instead, I can celebrate with cake!

[takes another bite]

[anklets]

A celebration, really?

[imaginemeandyuu]

I want to be your friend.

[anklets]

You can be.

[imaginemeandyuu]

Yeah?

[anklets]

...If you've Kanda as a friend, nothing is impossible, right?

[imaginemeandyuu]

That's true! I've already gone the impossible distance.

[anklets]

Now it's just the home stretch.

[Laughs.] Right?

[imaginemeandyuu]

Right.

But you know, that said, I don't want to be friends with you just because you and Yuu are friends.

[anklets]

[...Cakebite.]

Even when I've made such a bad impression on you.

[imaginemeandyuu]

You've made a good impression, though?

[anklets]

[This appears to come as a huge surprise to her.

So much so that she doesn't actually reply. Just blinks at him in apparent disbelief.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

You're strong, determined to change your own situation to make one that you can get your own control and initiative back in, and you're willing to make an effort even when obviously intimidated, frightened, or distressed. Plus even when you slip and react in ways you don't like reacting in, you don't run away from that, but you face it head on. And you haven't suppressed or tried to limit your own emotions to do it.

[anklets]

[That was.

More than she expected to hear.]

Alma...

[imaginemeandyuu]

So it's not so weird, right?

[anklets]

...No.

[imaginemeandyuu]

Basically you're stuck with me liking you and pestering you about it until you give in and be friends. [cakenom]

[anklets]

Being my friend means I get to yell at you when you do stupid things.

[imaginemeandyuu]

You'll have to out-shout Yuu.

[anklets]

I can do that.




[Partly serious.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

I'll have to do some stupid things just to see that...!
