[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?

[ 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.

[hasaringonit]

If not now, then when?

[grapesofyan]

*shrugs* I'll know when it happens.

[hasaringonit]

But Kureshima-san still wants to be with them.

[grapesofyan]

I do but it's not the time yet.

[hasaringonit]

If they are willing to accept you, should you keep them waiting?

[grapesofyan]

*That would involve forgiving myself and that's a process*

It's fine. They understand.

[hasaringonit]

You won't at least say hello? You will not have another chance for a very long time.

[grapesofyan]

*shakes his head* It's fine. Just seeing them is enough for me.

[hasaringonit]

[ Jiiiiiii ]

They will not be happy, if they know.

[grapesofyan]

A few approached me before.

[hasaringonit]

[ SHE'S MADE UP HER MIND and she's tugging on your hand ]

We're going.
