Homeless forever probably

[splurt]

... No. I refuse. Just the thought of being forced to be around their kind is making me break out.

Hiroshi and I have more important things to be doing. You will not disrupt us with this dumb idea.

"Their kind"?

[splurt]

Dazzling creatures like you.

[bakery_owner]

Dazzling?

[Ah, yes, that's good for the ego.]

Thank you for the kind words...but what do you mean, "break out"?

[splurt]

[ She covers her eyes with her hands. ]

In hives. I can't stand being near dazzling creatures... Creatures of the darkness such as myself do not belong in the world of dazzle.

[bakery_owner]

[Hives? From his presence? And what is this "creatures of the darkness" stuff?]

A creature of the darkness? You?

[splurt]

You wouldn't understand. You're too dazzling.

[bakery_owner]

You're quite dazzling yourself, Miss.

[Have a kind smile.]

I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say.

[splurt]

You don't have to lie like that. Our worlds can't merge after all. Why do you think all of those dazzling creatures get murdered by Jason or Freddy? Because they're far too dazzling.

[M-murdered? By Freddy and Jason? As in the horror movies? What? Who talks like that?!]

[No, he'll try and keep it professional. Polite, pleasant, and professional.]

What an interesting thought...why do you feel this way?

[splurt]

Because it's the truth. We're in far too different of worlds. Yours is beautiful and bright. Mine is dark and spooky.

[bakery_owner]

To be honest, I've always felt as if the world is made up of both the bright and beautiful and the dark and spooky. The two can't exist without each other, so it's only natural that they mingle. It's the way of life, wouldn't you agree?

[splurt]

Dazzling creatures can last without us creatures of darkness. They are so bright and shiny and beautiful.

[bakery_owner]

[Smile.]

Without creatures of darkness, those who dazzle wouldn't shine as bright.

[Sigh.]

Besides, I think you're being far too harsh. Why do you keep speaking so negatively?

[splurt]

I'm just telling the truth.

[bakery_owner]

It's only the truth because you want it to be.

If you look at the world through tinted glasses, everything will seem darker than it is. But it's always a shame when a nice young lady as yourself decides to hide away in the shadows.

[Smile.]

[splurt]

[ Shifts away from him. ]

Not only are you dazzling, but you're kind to. it only amplifies your glow.

[bakery_owner]

[Huh? Has he said something wrong? She's moving away.]

Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.

But I really do mean it. You are dazzling yourself, whether or not you want to believe it.

[splurt]

You didn't say anything wrong... you're just shining extra bright. I can feel myself melting.

[bakery_owner]

[Grin.]

Is it such a bad feeling?

[splurt]

[ She quickly covers her nose as blood splurts out! ]

[bakery_owner]

AH!

[She's bleeding?! Tachibana rushes right over to try and help, producing a handkerchief and offering it.]

Are you alright?! Here!

[splurt]

[ She shakes her head and holds her nose more. ]

Fine... I'm fine... this always happens when I'm im the presence of someone so dazzling.

[bakery_owner]

I'm really not all that dazzling, you know.

[Sighs.]

So there's no need to get worked up.
