[ Koharu looks up at him in surprise, but just as quickly her face falls into something more wistful, a hint of regret seeping into the air about them. ]
So he's like that, huh? I think that's a good idea. I wouldn't say you should do something you don't wish, but... sometimes there's something blinding us to another's true feelings, and we don't always notice.
[ Koharu trails off with a hint of reluctance, slowing their movements. She seems to be considering something for a moment before slipping out a gentle, quiet exhale. ]
I was thinking that I was like Claude once. My best friend had feelings for me for a long time, but I was so caught up in my own head that I never noticed. And now I think—if only I had, then maybe we could've...
... So it isn't your fault. Some of us are just really thick-headed.

Yup.

I guess there's a few of the others I haven't really talked to much, but out of everyone I have... I'm not sure...
no subject
no subject
W- well I guess I haven't really been able to get out much recently... What about a hint?
no subject
I think... he's probably pretty popular.
no subject
[ even if she doesn't know why!! (and Insane Tuesday hasn't happened yet) ]

LAUGHING OUT LOUD ]
Maybe I should've called him unpopular!
no subject
—So it is him?
no subject
Yeah. It is.
[ and he just seems fond about it, not bothering to be embarrassed ]
no subject
Really?! Honestly, I wouldn't have guessed! But he is very kind and charming, isn't he? And he has a side that loves to tease.
no subject
He does, doesn't he? I've been on the receiving end of it a few times. But... I do think he's kind. He's good at knowing what to say.
[ and yves is normally okay at keeping more of this to himself, but koharu loves love so much and he knows that she'll understand ]
no subject
Yes, I agree! Claude has been there a lot for me too, always willing to cheer me up when I needed it most. I can see why you'd take a liking to him.
no subject
[ he thinks it's one of the least surprising things in the world. but he'll just smile down at koharu ]
I'll decide if I feel like doing anything about it... but I don't think falling for people here is as hard as others are saying.
no subject
no subject
[ as far as yves knows anyway ]
But more like... he's one of my best friends here. I just hope that can stay intact. That's more important to me than anything.
no subject
[ Koharu trails off, thinking. ]
Even so, do you think you might regret not ever telling him?
no subject
... no? I don't think it's a matter of regrets.
But... I do think I want to tell him, if only to make a point about something.
no subject
no subject
[ and he'll look thoughtful about this ]
So... now seems as good a time as any to take advantage of feeling all these emotions.

So he's like that, huh? I think that's a good idea. I wouldn't say you should do something you don't wish, but... sometimes there's something blinding us to another's true feelings, and we don't always notice.
no subject
... is it something you've seen a lot, Koharu?
[ he feels that lil bit of regret ]
no subject
[ She starts just a little, shaking her head to regain her bearings. ]
Sorry! I got lost in my thoughts there. It's okay...
no subject
No, it's okay...
What was on your mind?

no subject
... oh Koharu, it's not your fault either.
[ pausing in the dance to just give her a hug ]
Do you wish you could've done something differently...?
