Guess I'm living alone again, so if someone is in dire need of a roommate, I'm screening people, I guess.

On that note: if anybody knew Atsushi - the one that was living with me, the slightly darker, edgier one? He's gone now.

So, I should also ask: does anyone really believe that people who disappear from this place really 'go back home'?

Losing friends kinda sucks?

You talked about him like really positively before.

[dereban]

It can't be helped.

People come and go all the time. I'm used to it. It's not the first time it's happened.

[That doesn't make her feel any better, but if she types it, she can convince everyone else - including herself, right?]

[depthsofdespair]

That's life. I get it.

Doesn't mean it doesn't suck.

Anyway. When you're up to it

we can go laugh at weird fashion or something.

[dereban]

[There's a long pause in her response, but eventually after a minute or two, Lucy gets one:]

I'd appreciate that.

[depthsofdespair]

[During those two minutes, Lucy had worried that maybe she was going too far. She might be caring too much and setting both Inaba and herself up for a nasty hurt.

So when she receives the response, Lucy is frightened. But not frightened enough to hold off her reply.]

Then just say the word.

Because we have a lot of weird shops left to judge.

[dereban]

I still haven't shown you my favorite place, either.

[depthsofdespair]

A favorite? Anything that makes it particularly special?

We talking clothes or what?

[dereban]

Nah, not clothes.

Something that leans more into my tech hobbies.

[depthsofdespair]

Whoa, you're into that kind of complicated stuff? Awesome!

Breaks my brain, personally.

Oooh, but I do like looking at techy things. I wanna go, I wanna go!

[dereban]

Yeah.

I built my computer from scratch and do a little bit of programming myself, too.

We can go. Thankfully, it's not a place that's so complex that I'd have to explain everything at least.

[depthsofdespair]

People can seriously do that?

Sounds like you might be waay out of my league.

I like looking at what's new in alarm clock technology and checking out the latest massage chairs.

[dereban]

I mean someone has to make the computers, after all.

I only deal with computers, though. Thankfully, the place we're going to will be easy to handle.

[She can only hope.]

[depthsofdespair]

Then you know what? Can't wait.

You tell me when and where. I'll be there.

Sounds like an adventure~!

[dereban]

Anytime before Iris cycle - the 11th?

Do you know where PrismaPlace is? Meet me in front of there.

[depthsofdespair]

Yeah, I can find that place.

How about this weekend? You cool with that?

[dereban]

[Will she be alright by the weekend? She isn't sure. But-]

Sure, that works.
