Mun-chan.

Although I know I should be really grateful to get to experience those precious moments again, I still think it's much better to live in the present. It's not that I'm running away from anything - Miu-chan always remembers where she came from, after all! - but it's just that there are things in my life right now that I think are more important. "When we were little kids, we thought like little kids. Now we're adults and think about things the adult way." Right? So it doesn't help anyone, returning to the past all the time. Instead you should let me look forward! Bright and exciting things are awaiting there, too! Mmn, I'm sure of it.

Nothing wrong with remembering things sometimes.

[onelittlefeather]

Ren-san is right, of course - but it becomes a problem when all one's mun-chan wants to focus on is the past.

[nomorefeathers]

Maybe it'll be a temporary thing. And then you can move on, right?

[onelittlefeather]

That's true! She might grow bored with childish Miu-chan and later want to play with the more mature and charming me!

[nomorefeathers]

I'm sure younger you was perfectly charming on her own.

[onelittlefeather]

Younger Miu-chan... She wasn't very different from older Miu-chan, really. But she didn't know as much about how the world works.

[nomorefeathers]

I know how that goes.

[onelittlefeather]

Living is learning! It's what makes life so exciting, right?

[nomorefeathers]

It's always good to keep learning. Not sure about the exciting part.

[onelittlefeather]

Just think about it, Ren-san! There isn't anything more exciting than learning a new choreography, is there? Not really. That feeling -- Mmn, it's the best!

[nomorefeathers]

Miu-chan is simple in her excitements.

[onelittlefeather]

Probably. I like meeting new people, too. Like I met Ren-san - although our history goes further back, so that's different.

[nomorefeathers]

Re-meeting is sometimes more fun than meeting for the first time.

[onelittlefeather]

Because you get an update on someone you haven't seen in person for a long time.

[nomorefeathers]

And it's interesting to see how people have changed. And how they haven't.

[onelittlefeather]

Ren-san is still cool and calm and collected, so that hasn't changed at all.

[nomorefeathers]

Ren-san has changed plenty. Just in... subtle ways.

[onelittlefeather]

I suppose that's how everyone changes as they grow older - in subtle ways. The differences between younger Miu and more mature Miu are probably subtle, too.

[nomorefeathers]

Usually. Unless you have some major crisis, change usually comes slowly.

[onelittlefeather]

A sudden crisis sometimes only means everything stops and doesn't get further... than that.

[nomorefeathers]

That can be a change in and of itself. Stagnation instead of growth.

[onelittlefeather]

My mother... after my father's death... She got so caught up in running their business that everything else didn't matter as much. That's what I think of as stagnation, though I don't think badly of her because of it. No... Nothing like that.

[feathershedding]

Adorable Miu-chan. Being an adult doesn't have anything to do with that!

[onelittlefeather]

With focusing on the present and the future instead of the past... Why not?

[lyonyanfox]

As long as you are not running away from things, Lady. Although remembering where one has come from can be just as important.

[onelittlefeather]

Mmn, it isn't that Miu-chan disagrees! It's just that my mun-chan is too interested in just one aspect of my history and I don't want her to forget my future...

[lyonyanfox]

A recent aspect?

[onelittlefeather]

I guess it isn't actually such a long time ago... But Miu-chan would rather not think about it!

[lyonyanfox]

[He's just going to assume. And glare at the mun there for a moment.]

It may be best to not, Lady.

[onelittlefeather]

That's how I think, at least. I often get scolded by the others for it, though. For being too thoughtless about things.

[lyonyanfox]

Thoughtless about which things?

[onelittlefeather]

Ayako-chan says I'm a cold person for disregarding feelings too much. Also the feelings of others. But I don't mean to!

[lyonyanfox]

You have not seemed cold thus far, Lady.

[onelittlefeather]

Thank you very much! Ah, that's a really sweet compliment to pay a person you haven't met before.

[lyonyanfox]

[He grins.] It is simply what I have seen thus far.

[onelittlefeather]

Would it be okay if I asked for your name, stranger-san?

[lyonyanfox]

Of course, Lady. I am Falkieri Phelan.

[onelittlefeather]

What an interesting name! Phelan-san sounds super cool together...

[lyonyanfox]

Falkieri is a common name where I am from. Phelan is a shortened version of my trust surname, Artfielan, but as I have gone by Phelan for so long I kept it as well.

It does sound very interesting together.

[onelittlefeather]

It's difficult to pronounce properly, though. At least for me! The sounds in Japanese are different, so that changes the entire word...

[lyonyanfox]

You are welcome to call me Kieri if that will be simpler for you.

Well, this is new. We see a lot more Takarazuka characters than actual Takarasiennes around here. [These two look like they could be otokoyaku and musumeyaku — except that the shorter one with the rounder face, the one who spoke, is the one in the suit; the taller, skinnier one is the one in a sundress.] Ohayo gozaimasita, Kotori-san. I'm Néo.

[The taller one speaks up.] "And I'm Pippi. Pleased to meet you." [They bow.]

Heibon-kun's pushing us at you because our canon is like a Takarazuka production in a way. The way where it's got an all-feminine cast playing male and female roles, that is.
