[WAVES HIS HANDS]

Whoa, okay! Let's slow down and back up from the beginning here.

[cupidsammo]

[ wheeze ]

S- sorry... Um. I'm a cupid, so...

[kumeyuri]

[blinks]

Don't apologize. [gets that out of the way first.] Like... in the mythology?

[cupidsammo]

[ a nod!! ]

Yes, that's right. Like the stories!

[kumeyuri]

Right, I do recall that involved shooting people... I wasn't aware it was considered a job, though.

[cupidsammo]

Well, no... We do keep ourselves hidden away from humans.

[kumeyuri]

And then you shoot people to make them fall in love with each other.

[cupidsammo]

[ another nod ]

Yes, it's just like that.

[kumeyuri]

... Can I ask what the purpose is?

[cupidsammo]

—Huh? I- I mean... How else are people supposed to fall in love?

[kumeyuri]

[I... IS THIS A TRICK QUESTION...]

... Naturally...?

[cupidsammo]

[ ................ ]

Actually. Yeah.

[kumeyuri]

... Are you all right?

[YOU GOOD THERE, KOHARU]

[cupidsammo]

—Yes, of course! Please don't worry! I'm not really with it today it seems, ahaha...

[kumeyuri]

[NOT CONVINCED... BUT ALL RIGHT...]

... Well, there's been a lot to take in.

[cupidsammo]

It really has! But, um—some souvenirs to take back might not be such a bad idea.

[kumeyuri]

[with a tilt of his head]

Just for yourself, or for others back home too?

[cupidsammo]

You're supposed to bring souvenirs back for everyone after you've gone somewhere, right?

[kumeyuri]

Yes. Very admirable of you to recall that courtesy, even in the afterlife.

[he approves]

[cupidsammo]

Haha—I think my senpai would understand.

[kumeyuri]

[looks through the keychains again]

I guess all souvenirs are kind of the same, but what sort of thing would your senpai maybe like?

[cupidsammo]

Hmmm...

[ She trails off, thinking, skimming through the selection. ]

One of them would probably like something cute, and the other something a bit cooler. And then... What would Ena-senpai like...?

[kumeyuri]

Something cute, and then something cool... [a blink] Someone with confusing tastes?

[cupidsammo]

It's more like—she was mature tastes, and a bit of a serious personality.

[kumeyuri]

Ah. Yeah, someone like that would be hard to get a souvenir for, huh... Maybe something practical?
