[ he pauses, eyes wide





and claps ]

Ooh, this is getting good! The drama! The audience must love it, huh? I've got to know what happens next!

[countermeasures]

[well.]

...when you say it like that, I'm really not sure I want to tell you.

[dms]

Because of the spoilers, right? It's okay! I won't leak anything, I promise!

[countermeasures]

Because that was my life, Sir Miyoshi.

[dms]

[ blinks.

and he smiles! ]

Right, right, of course it was! [ to the tune of "okay, grandma, let's get you to bed." ] And you were supes cool, too!

[countermeasures]

[they're still in the bubble.

she is so tired.]

Touch the bubble, please.

[dms]

[ hmmmmm

he leans closer, probably too close considering he's still shirtless and never had any sense of space even before touch week, and gives her a playful wink. ]

If you want to know more about me, you can just ask, you know.

[countermeasures]

[why is he so close]

I did ask. I asked you to touch the bubble.

[dms]

[ wow she was all over him two minutes ago and now he's too close? is that how it's gonna be?

unbothered, he laughs. ]

That's not the same! Wouldn't you rather get it right from the source?

[countermeasures]

[two minutes ago she thought he was cursed and was looking for the source of it! it has a different vibe]

What better source would there be than seeing it through your eyes?

[i wANT A MEMSHARE, RAY]

[dms]

I'd prefer you looking into my eyes than through them.

[ his smile lasts for just a few seconds longer as he waits for her to reply the way he'd like - but obviously that won't happen. so it fades as he rolls his eyes and falls back a few steps with an irritated huff. ]

Fine. Have it your way. You're really no fun at all, you konw that?

[ ugh. alright, whatever - he throws purple at the bubble like a baseball, and a memory of his own plays out before them (5:54-7:45). ]

[countermeasures]

[how contrary he is right now is so much more intense than how he'd been in that memory, and yet - he seemed to regret it more, within it. probably because that was his friend he'd botched the approach with, and also because back in his own world there hadn't been anything missing with his head.

(seriously - what's going on with him...? she's worried...)

when it finishes, she stares at him - looking into his eyes, unless he's not meeting her gaze.]

...you remember that, don't you? It was real for you?

[dms]

...Yeah. So what?

[countermeasures]

So why were you acting like what you saw from me wasn't?

[dms]

Never know what they'll come up with for the drama!

[countermeasures]

Kazunari Miyoshi.

[SHE SIGHS.]

[dms]

[ the cheer drops from his expression in an instant as he rolls his eyes. ]

Ugh, the fullnaming! What are you, my mom?

[countermeasures]

I am someone who is worried about you. Why are you acting this way?

[dms]

[ ??? ]

This is how I always act.

[countermeasures]

No it's not. Just the other week you were so worried about Kumon. Now you're acting up like this, and making him worry instead.

Please don't lie to me, Sir Miyoshi.

[dms]

He'll get over it.

And I'm not. Why would I lie?

[countermeasures]

[she stares directly at him.

why would he lie? well, she has her suspicions about that. but this is is a monday thread and it's way too late in the week oocly for her to voice them because she would probably have acted differently around him in other threads if she had, so.]

I don't quite know why. But I know what I've seen of you so far. This... isn't the way you acted before.

[dms]

You've only known me for a few weeks. You don't seriously think you know me that well after such a short time, do you?

[countermeasures]

I know you well enough to tell the difference between the way you acted then and the way you're acting now.

But even if I didn't, Kumon knows you well enough to know the difference, too.

[dms]

[ waves his hand. ]

Whatever. It's not that big a deal, anyway.
