[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.))

[Oh, right. He did tell her... pretty much everything, didn't he?]

It's fine.

... Power Joe is just an idiot.

...

Did he say something to you? Do I have to go beat him up?

What -- No, Kay. Don't beat anyone up.

He didn't do anything.

Well...if you're sure.

So what, you want to tell Mr. Shadowmaru you care about him?

I --

[Yeah, that should be your answer right there.]

It... He already knows I care. We're friends.

But you like him more than that, huh.

What makes you so sure he doesn't feel the same way?

Yes.

[He sounds so defeated right there.]

Why would he feel the same?

Why WOULDN'T he? You guys are linked at the hip!

... He knows the others better than I do. Maybe... there was something... there.

[What if he found someone he Likes.]

But he knows you best, doesn't he? That means something.

[Yeah, what if it's you, dummy?]

It means everything, to me.

[He hesitates, then, almost unwillingly, opens up. Because if he can't talk to HER then who else is there?]

... I hate this, Kay. I hate feeling this way, and not knowing if he should know.

I just wanted to be with him again. Everything is too complicated now.

[Kay straightens up as he speaks. This is important to Kagerou, so she's going to give her full, undivided attention. After everything he's done for her, it's the least she can do for him. To give him the best advice she can.

To help him live.]

Kagerou, you've always lived in the shadows. You're comfortable there, I know. I don't blame you. Shadows are nice! They're cool...safe...and you can look at the light around you.

There's nothing wrong with shadows!

[But a hand goes to her chin, before looking back into his eyes, as serious as can be.]

But you have to go out from it. If Mr. Shadowmaru means that much to you, then he should know the truth about how you feel! If he doesn't know, it's just a lie! And I know you wouldn't ever lie.

Go into the sunlight, dad! Go be in it with Mr. Shadowmaru!

[If he could pick her up and hug her right then, he would have.]

[She believes in him. She... she's going to be there, he knows, even if he messes this up. If he loses Shadowmaru, Kay will be there...]

[Family.]

You really think I can do this. Don't you?

[He already knows what she's going to say, and doesn't expect an answer.]

I have to try then. Since you think so highly of me...

Don't I?

I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it, Kagerou. You're always so hard on yourself with this stuff, but really, you're more alive than some of the people I've met here. You deserve everything, okay.

And you never know, things might turn out okay.

It's better than wondering for the rest of your life on what could have been.

[And as if they could read minds, she smiles.]

You already know the answer.

More alive... It's going to be a while before I can believe that as you do, Kay.

[Same with the rest of what she's saying. It would be nice to think he deserved Shadowmaru's affection. But...]

What could have been.

I wonder that anyway, I think.
