What is your favorite number?

There are wrong answers.

All right, Miss Asakura.

Why run? A good question. It's because a person doesn't know if they themselves can make it better. I suppose they're running with the hope that they'll run into the person that will save them.

What one's outlook is, huh? Then, let's call this happy.

[force_a_change]

I still think it's silly to do so, relying on others tends to end poorly. At least that's how I've seen it happen.

... A happy outlook is a good one to have at least.

[onehole]

Relying on others can, but it's nice to experience it.

Isn't it?

[force_a_change]

Perhaps. I've never done it before, I've usually been the one they rely on.

[onehole]

So you've never felt what it's like to rely on someone?

[force_a_change]

Not that I can recall.

[onehole]

You don't even feel like you rely on people to give you chroma?

[force_a_change]

Nope! Since they also get Chroma from the exchange so it's not like I'm getting something for nothing.

[onehole]

I guess that is how it seems!

Well, I wish I could offer myself as someone to rely on, but I'm kind of an irresponsible person.

[force_a_change]

A fair exchange, I'd call it.

Well, you can't become more reliable by not admitting your faults. So just by the fact that you're aware that you're irresponsible means, you're a bit more reliable than someone who would deny it.

[onehole]

It is, but it also is a connection you're making with others, right?

Is that how it works??

[force_a_change]

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I think it all depends on the people involved?

Since you can't make a good connection all by yourself.

[onehole]

Doesn't it depend on you and your feelings?

[force_a_change]

Well, yes but... It also depends on the other person's feelings as well.

[onehole]

It might, but it's okay to think a certain way.
Or are you scared they might not feel the same?

[force_a_change]

Mm, and no I'm not scared.

If it was about certain kinds of feelings, the deeper kind, then maybe I would be. But I'm not.

[onehole]

So, then...!!
Have you figured out the answer? The chroma you generate with others, have you made a connection with them?

[force_a_change]

I've made a friend, so I guess so? But making friends has been easy for me.

[At least compared to her fellow Humanoid Interfaces.]

[onehole]

I'm jealous.
I'm very bad at making friends, ha ha.

But that's good that you can say that you've made that kind of connection.

[force_a_change]

I know a few people who aren't good at making friends, they managed to make some very good friends so... Maybe that can happen to you!

[onehole]

Let's not get crazy and say crazy things now.

[force_a_change]

Now now, it's not crazy to say that you might make some friends, Mister 333.

[onehole]

Well.
I have made two friends.
But I think I bullied them into it.
So it doesn't count.

[force_a_change]

Well, you can make that three now. Since I don't mind being your friend, and there was no bullying involved.

[onehole]

Gasp.
What brought about that decision?
