It— it doesn't.

I feel like I still haven't woken up for real yet.

[kumeyuri]

[he reaches out with a hand, cautiously, before he stops himself.]

... I'm sorry, Koharu-chan.

[cupidsammo]

[ after a pause, she only exhales ]

I'm okay. I'll be better about it this time.

Are you okay?

[kumeyuri]

[he blinks, like he didn't expect the question.]

I'm managing, as well as anyone can be under these circumstances,

[cupidsammo]

R- right. Right...

... We'll have to do the same thing tomorrow, won't we.

[kumeyuri]

... Most likely. [...] Are you prepared?

[cupidsammo]

Not really. But... at least we know what to expect this time.

[kumeyuri]

... Yeah. That's one advantage we have over last week, at least. Make sure to keep up your strength, then.

[cupidsammo]

I will. Honestly, I might just stay inside today.

[kumeyuri]

[a pause, before he nods.]

Not a bad idea. Just... try to find something to occupy yourself with, so that you don't get lost too much with your thoughts.

[cupidsammo]

[ ... ]

The lobby has a video game console now, I guess.

[ so that's. something. ]

[kumeyuri]

Oh. [he blinks because he forgot about that. someone has not played many video games in their life.] That should be pretty distracting, I think...?

[cupidsammo]

I think so. I don't play them that often, so I'd be... more focused on learning how to play.

[kumeyuri]

I've rarely played them myself, so you'll have me beat there.

[cupidsammo]

... Maybe we could play some later? If you're not busy.

[kumeyuri]

[a nod]

... Yeah, no problem. I can make time.

[cupidsammo]

Okay. But don't worry about it if something else comes up.

[kumeyuri]

I don't expect anything to. [he gives her a little smile.] So don't worry, it's a plan.

[cupidsammo]

Alright, then I'll be there when you're ready.

[kumeyuri]

[flashes a peace sign]

Sounds good.
