11 year old Yuuki regarding the extra chapter!

[gardenboxed]

Mundane-san... it would make me feel better if you didn't keep bringing up how sad it is that I can't seem to easily make friends.

I'm already aware of the fact. _{O-Of course I can tell when Headmaster is fretting and fretting over it.}

I'm going to be positive though and I'm not going to worry him more! This year will be different! You'll see!

I've got a new roommate that will be moving in with me. I'm sure that this time we'll be able to become good friends. That goes for if you decide to throw me in another game again, too. I'll do my best!

I wouldn't worry about that idiot so much. You'll be fine. He won't settle down. That's how it always works.

[It's always jarring seeing a grown up Zero here. At the very least it's not her first time, but Zero!? And she can never get over that tattoo...]

Regarding the future, Zero-san would know...

[How is she supposed to react to an older Zero? Maybe honorifics...]

[subdueme]

[Ugh.That bothers him even coming from an 11 year old Yuuki. He's used to it. Actually no, he's used to being called something a little more formal or just Kiryuu-kun.]

Just Zero is fine. Even like this.

[And regarding the future, he would know.]

Wakaba Sayori is someone who is very important to you.

[gardenboxed]

Just Zero, then. Although it keeps feeling like I'm somehow being disrespectful.

[She has to remind herself it's still her same Zero. Even if he's older.]

[gardenboxed]

Wakaba Sayori-san, though...?

[Blink Blink]

Is she someone that I meet during Zero's time?

[subdueme]

She's the roommate you're about to meet.

[He gives her a smile, knowing this will make her happy.]

She's your best friend even now.

[gardenboxed]

Really? For real really!?

[She wont suddenly transfer like the last one, right?]

[subdueme]

Yes, honest. Yori will fight to be in your life in a way that no one else can. Plus she'll put up with your spoiled side.

[What he means is--Yori is better than anyone else in your life.]

[gardenboxed]

This is so great!

[Zero there is no way you can possibly know how happy she is. An actual friend except wait she isn't spoiled...!]

[gardenboxed]

I mean... Zero and I are friends, too.

[She doesn't want him to think that she doesn't see him as such. She cares about him of course.]

But now that Zero has moved in, it's more like family.

[subdueme]

[You're probably already in love with him which just gives you a messed up reality when it comes to family. Normally he'd be all "We aren't family" but that's sort of pointless now.]

It's fine. Wakaba is just different for you. I know.

[gardenboxed]

[WOW DON'T BE WEIRD. Her heart belongs to the one and only Kaname-sama okay!! More seriously, she just doesn't think along those lines yet.

She merely smiles, before taking a turn for the curious. A little shy, she glances up at him.]

How old is Zero, now?

[subdueme]

[You keep telling yourself that. And you will. But like all subjects you'll be wrong there too.]

Eighteen.

[gardenboxed]

[RUDE]

Zero becomes so mature.

[Sort of like a cool older senpai, but she doesn't want to admit the 'cool' part.]

[subdueme]

Not really. I'd apologize now for the ages of seventeen and eighteen if I thought you'd remember. Hopefully I don't have to apologize for nineteen.

[gardenboxed]

Does that mean I get to be the mature one?

[subdueme]

No. You're never the mature one. You just like to think you are.

[gardenboxed]

I-I'm mature when it counts. In fact I feel like I'm pretty mature for my age...

[ardentloyalty]

Yuuki-chan!

[She's so happy to see you, since it doesn't happen very often these days.]

I'm sure he'd like it if you called him father occasionally.

[gardenboxed]

If I called him that it would draw the attention of other students in my grade, though, and they might think he'll play favorites.

[She wants to fit in!!]

[gardenboxed]

Also he always makes a big deal about-- [A pause before she seems to realize something.]

. . . Um. Do I know you from somewhere...?

[A pretty, older, senpai.]

[ardentloyalty]

Hm? I wonder..

[Just a little teasing.]

You were just talking about me.

[gardenboxed]

Talking about? [But...]

[gardenboxed]

[ . . . ! ]

W-Wait, roommate-chan?

[ardentloyalty]

A little in your future. We aren't roommates any longer but you are still my best friend.

[And always will be.]

I'm about the same age as Kiryuu-kun.

[gardenboxed]

I'm glad. It's really nice to meet you. Um... [Searching for a name]
