The bad ones? What, were you making silly faces or something?

[cupidsammo]

Sometimes that's half the fun! But I get a lot of really unflattering angles too.

[kumeyuri]

They're probably worse in your head than in reality... but in the end, your opinion is what matters most.

[cupidsammo]

Well they're just silly pictures anyway... But there's a lot of really good spots here for them.

[kumeyuri]

[a hum]

It's true that the scenery around here is pretty wild.

[cupidsammo]

And really scenic! You just don't get places like these back in Tokyo.

[kumeyuri]

Mm-hmm. I'm guessing you haven't gone too far outside of Tokyo?

[cupidsammo]

Not really... I've taken a few trips with my parents before, but I've spent most of my life in the city.

[kumeyuri]

[a nod]

It's not necessarily anything like the places here, but you can see some pretty nice sights if you go far out. I lived in a more rural area the last few years, myself.

[cupidsammo]

Ah... So you're a country kind of guy?

[kumeyuri]

Mm... moving there wasn't my decision—so I do like the city too. But while it's not for everyone, it did have its upsides, like living at a natural hot spring.

[cupidsammo]

Aw, man—I haven't been to an onsen in so long... Now I'm jealous.

[kumeyuri]

Well, they do have a hot spring here, at least, even if it might not have quite the same feel as a Japanese onsen...

[cupidsammo]

That's just a really nice bath. I mean, not that it's bad, but it's like you said. It just isn't the same...

[kumeyuri]

Well, hopefully when you return home, you and your senpai can take a vacation to a proper onsen in the near future.

[cupidsammo]

Yeah, maybe... I guess it comes down to if we can afford to take that much time off. A cupid's job is never ending.

[kumeyuri]

Lots of people to match up, huh?

[cupidsammo]

Haha, yeah... I'm sure you can imagine just how many people out there are landing in the right moment to fall for someone.

[kumeyuri]

Mm... well, even if you don't get the chance while you're busy with work, then maybe once you're human again.

[cupidsammo]

That's true... That'd be a least a year off if I work really hard, but maybe the wait will be worth it.

[kumeyuri]

Like building up the anticipation, yeah? Treat yourself to a nice one, in that case.

[cupidsammo]

You bet. Until then, I'll be jealous you get them whenever you want!

[kumeyuri]

[he pauses.]

Well, you don't have to get too jealous. I don't live there anymore.

[cupidsammo]

—You moved again?

[kumeyuri]

Sort of. I had to leave, and then I... ended up here.

[died.]
