Calling out to you~

[made_4_ritsuka]

R-really all this because of one video. It's too much!

I can't!
I can't!
I can't!
I can't!
I can't!

It's j-just. . . I mean what would Ritsuka-kun think? And mom is fine, she's not sick or anything. And I don't sleep with the light on anymore! most of the time So it's kind of like lying.

T-though Ritsuka-kun is always the one that stands up for me, and protects me from our classmates. And I wouldn't want anyone to think that they were worthless, especially not Ritsuka-kun or even Soubi-san.

Oh uh... well no. Seimei is different.

[made_4_ritsuka]

What's he like then? Is he more like Soubi-san?

[in_loveless_memory]

He's... himself. Seimei is Seimei.

Look, when you do meet him, make sure I'm there.

[made_4_ritsuka]

Alright. Ritsuka-kun can introduce us, maybe we can all go out and get a treat or something.

[in_loveless_memory]

[He frowns in thought. Seimei would never eat in front of her and Yuiko could be really astute about things like that... but maybe she wouldn't?]

Uh... yeah, I'm sure he'll love it.

[made_4_ritsuka]

Is something wrong? Did I presume too much? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that he had to or anything.

[in_loveless_memory]

No, Yuiko, relax. [He offers a smile.] You're a good girl, you didn't do anything wrong, alright?

[made_4_ritsuka]

But Ritsuka-kun hasn't gotten to see him in a really long time and here I am inviting myself out with both of you.

[in_loveless_memory]

It was my idea to have you meet, wasn't it. You were just smart in thinking of an activity we could do.

[made_4_ritsuka]

Is there something else that Seimei-san or Ritsuka-kun might like to do then?

[in_loveless_memory]

Oh uh... well, Seimei likes video games.

[made_4_ritsuka]

I-I guess I could try, though I'm not very good at them.

[in_loveless_memory]

I'm not either, but the point is for us to do something together, right?

[made_4_ritsuka]

No way, Ritsuka-kun was way better that I was at them when we all played after school. Don't tell me Seimei-san is even better?!?

[in_loveless_memory]

Seimei is better, at everything. Video games fall under that.

[made_4_ritsuka]

Huh? He can't be better at everything. But if he really is then I don't stand a chance.

[in_loveless_memory]

Well, I've not seen anything he's bad at. [Except kindness to others.]

[made_4_ritsuka]

But there are a lot of things that Ritsuka-kun is really good at too.

[in_loveless_memory]

Oh... uh thank you, Yuiko. There's lots of things you're good at too, you know.

[made_4_ritsuka]

Ah! Really? But I keep messing up on a lot of things when I try, or I lose focus and forget what I was doing.

I'm glad that Ritsuka-kun thinks so though. That's why I'll try my best!

[in_loveless_memory]

Yeah, you mess up a lot, actually. But you try to fix what you mess up and you tend not to make the same mistakes again.... most of the time.

[made_4_ritsuka]

[Ack! Did he really have to say a lot.]

W-well they say that it's important to learn from your mistakes. . . right?

[in_loveless_memory]

And you do, you're really strong like that, Yuiko.
