[ he's sensing some tension here, so: ]

well, like i said, if you wanna talk, i'm here. even if we can't change it, sometimes talking it out helps...

Thanks. It's nice to know the offer's open. And mine still stands too, of course.

Honestly, I'm not really the type to open up about myself much, and talking to people at all is something I'm still getting used to. But it's gotten a little easier to do, thanks to most people on Retrospec being so friendly and understanding. I've met people I can trust.

You're one of them. But I think that goes without saying.

it's always open! i like listening to my friends' problems...

[ it helped him forget his own... ]

a...aah... w

well!

[ that's... awfully candid and keigo was not prepared! ]

thank you kouhei!! it's really um flattering that you would put trust in me!! did i really earn it...?! i mean, not that i'm untrustworthy or anything, i'm not gonna be spewing your secrets to everyone i meet, but if you're that private, it seems like a huge deal to put your trust in someone like me, because y'know i'm kinda flighty and airheaded at times and i tend to talk too fast so

yeah

um!

thank you... i trust you, too

[Oh no, what a charming reaction.... How is Kouhei supposed to keep himself from smiling?]

Haha. Thanks. Sorry, I was just speaking my mind. But we're friends, so yeah, I trust you. You've more than earned it. I guess it's a little embarrassing to put it so bluntly, but...

I don't know if you've realized it or not, but even though your voice is loud and easy for me to hear, you talk more slowly around me. You don't get mad or say it's a bother if I ask you to repeat something, and you don't pity me or treat me differently than your other friends.

I mean... Having friends at all is a pretty big deal for a quiet guy like me, so I guess I notice things like that. Sorry if it's weird.

Don’t apologize for speaking your mind! That’s something that should do more often! And uh!!

[ oh no… that’s cute… keigo’s going to die. ]

i… guess I just pick up on stuff like that…? I try to be the best person I can be for my friends. So I’m glad that it’s working… I don’t want you to feel like you’re any different from my other friends!!

[sunnyspot]

You're a good guy, Keigo. You should give yourself more credit for that. Not everyone does as much for their friends as you do.

I'm basically just trying to say thanks without getting too sappy about it. But it might be too late for that.

[loudmouths]

aah... i'm not really, but thanks... for saying so...

[ rip ]

you're the kind of guy to get sappy, anyway, so i guess it's not surprising in the end...
