[hasaringonit]

[ Hello, Zawame City, you have a tiny visitor in a cute pink coat and her super cute new boots all but hiding behind your enormous graperider and maybe also possibly she has a hand curled into the sleeve of his shirt ]

This is Kureshima-san's home?

[grapesofyan]

Ah, it's fine. You're shorter so just go ahead.

[hasaringonit]

I would rather stay with Kureshima-san.

[grapesofyan]

I've seen them before.

[hasaringonit]

I will get lost too easily.

[ What she's not saying: nnnno that's scary ]

[grapesofyan]

It'll be fine!

[hasaringonit]

[ sidling a little closer ]

There are too many people.

[grapesofyan]

It's meant to be energetic.

[hasaringonit]

I do not want to be left alone.

[grapesofyan]

*Takes another look at the stage before he turns* Okay. We'll keep going.

[hasaringonit]

Does Kureshima-san wish to watch?

[grapesofyan]

It's fine. Like I said, I've watched them before.

[hasaringonit]

[ Giving him A Look ]

Why do you look so sad?

[grapesofyan]

*Tugs you away from the crowd for some privacy and not to be seen* Ah...

[hasaringonit]

Kureshima-san?

[grapesofyan]

This day is meant to be for you. Are you sure you want to hear the whole explanation?

[hasaringonit]

If it is something Kureshima-san wishes to tell, I will be happy to listen.

[grapesofyan]

I guess... *They keep walking towards an oceanside view*

[hasaringonit]

[ She's gonna squeeze his hand a little ]

If not, there is no need.

[grapesofyan]

*Takes a deep breath and exhales, trying to relax himself* It's fine. It might be best instead of hiding it.

[hasaringonit]

[ Am I gonna have to do the sit and put your head in my lap thing ]

[grapesofyan]

*Nah, not out in public*

I used to be one of them. But I betrayed them and even tried to kill them.

[hasaringonit]

They are Kureshima-san's friends.

[grapesofyan]

They were and most of them seem willing to accept me again.

[hasaringonit]

So why run away?

[grapesofyan]

I don't feel ready yet.
