[TEXT :: LOCKED TO CLOSE CR -- except for GUNMAX, POWER JOE and SHADOWMARU]
I need ... I need advice. About caring for someone. Emotions. It's... There's a complicated situation. I don't know what to do.

[Thanks to this mess, his feelings for someone else are suddenly rushing into the spotlight and HOW DOES HE HANDLE THIS.]

((ooc: if your character is on reasonably good terms with Kagerou, feel free to answer.))

I...

[MORE awkward fidgeting.]

No, I can do this.

[Which means hesitating a lot, before just blurting out:]

Do you have someone you care about? Someone... close?

[ Hang on. Computing. ]

[ You can kind of hear her sigh, contemplating honesty or dishonesty.

But it's Kagerou so dishonesty isn't ever really an option, she promised. ]

Yeah.

Yeah, kinda.

[Wow literally everyone has more experience in this than he does. That's weirdly sad.]

So... do you... kiss? This person?

[There's a point to this, really.]

[ thank god you can't see her face rn or it'd be priceless. ]

No, we---well, I---

[ HANG ON, SHE CAN WORDS. ]

They don't exactly know. Yet. I don't really, you know. Plan on telling them, what with the situation at home.

It's complicated.

[ THATS NO HELP AT ALL she realizes, and backpedals. ]

But! But, if I could, then---yeah. I would.

[He'll just let her finish. Which, yeah, that doesn't help much at all.]

... everything is complicated anymore, isn't it?

[But that's workable. He can use that.]

You would. How do you know that's the right thing to do? That... they'd want kissing? That it wouldn't ruin what you had before?

You're 100% right, there.

[ She sighs again, contemplating an answer to this question. ]

Then I....

I'd probably just tell them, and see what they'd do.

They can't really do anything if they don't know, but...niether can you. Not talking to them about it really won't get you anywhere.

You aren't afraid?

I... I don't know if I can ask like that. I don't want to change things in the wrong way.

[And he's absolutely paralyzed at the thought of driving the most important person in the universe away.]

If I made him leave... I couldn't take it.

[ She opens her mouth to say something on the topic of being afraid, but---she hears him out, instead making her statement a question. ]

...Do you think this person would take a bullet for you?

... He stood up to the police for me. I don't think a bullet would do much to stop him. But... I know he tried to keep them from me.

[He doesn't even have to think very hard about that answer, at least.]

[ Again, she pauses, putting her own foot in her mouth silently as she forms sentences that explain. ]

If the danger of taking a bullet for you wouldn't drive him away, do you think that your affection is harmful enough to do worse?

[ That came out wrong. ]

I--well.

If they weren't afraid of a bullet, why would they be afraid of a kiss?

Not... physically. That isn't what worries me.

[Well, now they're both trying to figure out how to say this. Why had it come out so much easier with Kay...]

[Was that because the person in question hadn't been here?]

Because if he's hurt on my behalf, that doesn't change anything. We both already know we would do that for one another.

We're friends. That's what we do.

... A kiss is for something more. And... if he wants to stay friends... not more...
