... she's hard-working. She's a type of entertainer that requires a lot of training, but she's kept at it with her own strength. She doesn't really let me get involved, and I think that goes to show how she wants to earn things on her own.
[Hmmmm. He appraises Tobari for a moment, like he's trying to decide if he wants to say anything. The whole deal was no one is supposed to know really... but... Obikawa is here. Ilulu is here...]
Yoshiki was hurtin' and scared. So I took a piece of me from the inside and gave it t'him. It was my promise. That we'd be together as long as he had it. If he didn't want me no more, all he had t'do was get rid of it.
[Master of freaks and lip maneuvers. He really just dropped the stabbed right on top of Tobari who is trying to exist normally among these freaks.]
It is, but that's okay. Yeah. I wanna always be by his side, and he doesn't want me to go. I don't know... how to explain, but I love him. He became the place I belong.
[ . . . maybe it’s the youthfulness but generally hearing these words said so sincerely resonates with something in tobari’s chest. that’d be nice. he hopes everything works out.

[ and he can't help but be fond! he even smiles a little ]
It sounds like he's lucky to have you.
no subject
Heh heh. He's always got a piece of me, so he'll be okay. [:)] Your sis is pretty lucky, too.
What's your favorite thing about her?

[Fondly touches the middle of his chest... A piece of him... Hehe.]
Ohhh. You the big brother...? She doesn't want you to worry or something?
no subject
[ why is he. touching his chest? ]
No, I don't think it's anything so soft-hearted. Suzune can't wait to get away from me.
no subject
[This is how you promise your undying loyalty and devotions to someone, right?]

... alright.
[ sounds fucked up but maybe it gave someone peace so ]
Did it help him feel better?
no subject
Yeah, think so. [A laugh, like it's a funny joke.] He stabbed me 'cause he was scared! But I gave him a piece of me so he wouldn't have to be.
He told me not to go away.
no subject
BUT ALSO STABBED????
he looks surprised again, for some reason, before his expression evens out... ]
... it sounds confusing and maybe kinda complicated, but... in the end, you both really want to be together, right?
no subject
It is, but that's okay. Yeah. I wanna always be by his side, and he doesn't want me to go. I don't know... how to explain, but I love him. He became the place I belong.
no subject
... then as long as he wants you too, then I hope you get to stay together.
[ consent is important and tobari doesn't approve of stalker relationships but.
well. sometimes shit is messy and weird and the most meaningful thing you'll ever experience ]
no subject
His surprise slowly breaks out into a grin. Validation...]
If he doesn't want me to go, then I'll always stay. I'll protect him and make sure he isn't alone.

Don't? Why not?

[HELP ME. He is so offended, but also intrigued.]
