Canon is: 'Viewfinder' by Ayano Yamane

[takaba_akihito]

Dear Creepy-Kidnapper-Guy,

Look. You keep saying that the place I come from is 'obscure' and people consider it 'laughable entertainment, at best'. All of that is just a fancy way of saying most people won't know me, right? Or if they do, I'm basically not going to be taken seriously.

If people want to underestimate me, that's fine. It wouldn't be the first time. But no matter what they think- I'm not a joke or here for anybody's damned kicks.

As if that wasn't bad enough, you're hung-up on the fact I'll probably never see my buddies again as long as I'm here. Hell, not just the guys, but anyone else I know. It sucks that I can forget about nights hanging out with my friends, or celebrating the holidays together. Still, at least there's no chance in hell I'll run into any of those dangerous mafia guys here. It's not like I have any feelings of resentment or revenge, but I've been around Fei Long and the people he runs with enough for one life time.

Still. If Asami won't be here-

[ A beat, before Takaba just looks away with a scowl. ]

Tch. Whatever, I can deal with it.

...woah. I think that happened to me too! One day I was just getting ready to do Yzma's laundry and then I end up here, in this girl's head. At first, I was really happy about it!

But now I'm not so sure anymore. [Kronk tried to smile, though. Even if he was kidnapped by a scary woman... hey, it wasn't the first time!]

[ Aw, shucks. Akihito can tell that Kronk's mentality is a little stunted or naive, so he automatically feels badly for potentially causing concern in someone who seems more child-like than most. ]

N-no. It might not be that bad, really.

[ He waves his hands a bit, trying to chase away what he'd said earlier. ]

I've been wrong about people and their intentions before.

[Kronk was definitely a little... special. Or a lot. He took everything people said very seriously and on top of that, he was ridiculously gullible. He probably shouldn't even be on his own!]

I hope it's not bad! She seemed real helpful, she told me I could go meet people who'd be nicer than Yzma. [Almost everyone had been very nice to Kronk, so far... some even wanted to taste his cooking.]
