even if he could refute it, he couldn't refute it entirely. there's no doubt a part of him does it selfishly for the stage, the feeling he gets from seeing an audience of any size-- he loves to see their smiles, hearing their cheers, making them happy sounds selfless but it's ultimately a selfish thing, probably, just for a good cause. but subaru doesn't really wanna think too hard about it, he just chuckles a little and nods.]
Yeah~, that's true. ♪ You sure sound like Eichi-senpai when you say stuff like that, though.
No, but it'll be annoying to hear them. [...] I'm happy you let yourself have that, though.
[since. their professions aside, neither of them... really thought in that way, until it was presented to them; until it arrived at their doorsteps, at different times and in different ways. until they accept it, a little, mistake it may have been.

You're mean~, it's not my first first time... Besides, Anzu couldn't give you the time of day 'cause of who she is, who we were -- it was different with Macchi.
Not as different as you THINK. Rather than "who she is, who we were" being the isSUE, it was "where we ARE". Putting being dead aSIDE, putting the idea we won't even remember—

The boy who's going to find Maya Arisu in another life, another time, another world, and hear her tell me she likes me BACK, just like she said she WOULD. After I tell her I love her despite the fact she's a hardworking, unromantic, extremely practical, and boring young girl, naturalLY.
...No, not ONCE. ( not that he never thought about it, and not that he doesn't regret never asking her if he could, but... ) We played at dating for a DAY, and I didn't think to ask her if I could kiss her at the end of our DATE.
( would she have though......... he can't imagine it. all of that mistletoe for nothing, all those words about just for that day, that time, he could be the first person she fantasized about going on a date with...
wow............ he's so stupid! and now it's too late! there is no god. )

Thank YOU. And I know you ARE. ( selfish. ) It's a core trait of idols to BE. Who else would want the world's eyes on THEM?

no subject
I'm not just some GUY.

Okay, then who are you?
no subject
( as you do. )
