Muse saw that reserve...

[gigglesnortpriestess]

I thought you were only joking about that.

[I was enabled.]

I don't like the sound of that place.

[You saw me talk about it didn't you?]

Maybe you should focus on what's going in Hinoto-Ri first.

[Nu.]

Yukiko!

Ah, it's awkward. Usually I'd say that it's good to see you, but in a place like this it's a little too easy for that to come out sounding wrong.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

I can expect somewhere like that to be...awkward.

[So what's this 'bicycle' thing she's heard about hmm~?]

[fridgeninja]

It is, but just like any new place, it's possible to adjust. It sounds ridiculous at first, but not everything about it is bad.

[Well, it's a good idea to have a regular collar partner. Souji has four. Two of whom he is maybe kind of dating. And he helps loosen the collar of anyone who really needs it, because he won't stop saving people if he can help keep them safe. And when the power went out in buildings unless people had sex in them he was sort of a public utility. And he maybe accidentally had a bisexual threesome the other week. No, seriously, he didn't mean to. And that's not even getting to the accidental handjob a friend gave him. No, really. Or the accidental marriage, though that was a curse and only lasted a week.

The time he had sex in the library he doesn't really have an excuse for.

On the other hand, his collar has never ever been tight.]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[...


Yeah Souji, you are a town bike.]

It wouldn't be if not for those collars.

[fridgeninja]

The collars are one of the low points. Putting everyone under that kind of pressure isn't right.

There are a lot of really incredible people here, though.

And the food is good.

Also, it's selfish, but since it isn't under my control in any case... I'm happy to be able to see everyone again.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[It's really hard not to be upset with you around.]

It...still makes me nervous.

[fridgeninja]

I'm not going to say it isn't frightening, or that it's not a problem.

But it's something all of us here deal with, so you'll never have to worry about handling it alone.


Ah.


That might have come out wrong, again.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

No, it didn't sound like it.

[He's thinking too hard isn't he?]

[fridgeninja]

I'm glad.

It's a complicated place, but just like anywhere else, it's easier to manage with friends.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[Yeah and what happens when friends complicate things? How do you even deal with it?]

If you say so...

[fridgeninja]

[For Souji, friends make everything easier. If something's complicated with one, there's always another.]

We'll be looking out for you. The case might be done, but we're still a team, no matter what.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

That's something that won't change.

[Don't expect her to follow your example, Oh Great Leader.]

[fridgeninja]

[He just expects her to be herself. No more or less.]

Exactly.
