[ He is perceiving. ]

It's the thing this week: sharing memories. At least, it happened to me once today.

Pretty disorienting, right?

[onlypets]

[Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo, not sharing memories. He dislikes this greatly. He doesn't want anyone to see!!!

He frowns gently.]

Yes, it is. I can't say I'm a fan of it.

[damp]

[ THAT YOU'RE A SOFTIE? I THINK PEOPLE BE KNOWIN

But Rin is trying to be nice about it, ] ... It showed off your good side, at least?

[onlypets]

[??????? NO? HE KILLED A CHILD?]

You don't have to offer me platitudes, you know.

[damp]

[ omg i forgot about that ]

You looked after Chris, that's not a bad thing.

He couldn't see the residents in the shop once he'd left?

[onlypets]

[i'm going to pretzel you into a speck of dust

He looks like he could say something, but then... doesn't.]

He could see them as they appear to most others, as animals. But they did not look like the ones he'd seen before. T-chan, Pon-chan, Ten-chan.

[damp]

[ what is it, d? ]

He didn't earn the right to live on the arc?

[onlypets]

[nothing]

As I said... the shop is not a place for humans. He should be free to live with other humans. To grow up.

[damp]

[ ...? ]

Would he stop aging in the shop?

[onlypets]

No, but... it would be more difficult for him to leave. He wouldn't ever have a life with others if he stayed forever at the shop.

[damp]

How do you know that? Has anyone ever lived in the shop before?

[ ??? ]

[onlypets]

We and the shop share a special kind of connection. We just know it's not a place for humans to reside for a long time. Otherwise, they will not leave. And then they will not be able to leave at all.

[damp]

Then everything you said about humans earning the right to live there...? That's not true.

[onlypets]

They have to earn the right. They can... to come and go on the ark. But as they are currently, the shop will entice them too much. It's a place that will make your hopes and dreams come true.

[damp]

[ He just. Groans. ]

Talking to you is so annoying.

[onlypets]

[Wtf. He is definitely offended. He looks away.]

Hmph. The feeling is mutual...

[damp]

You think I'm annoying? [ HELLO? ] At least—

[ Ugh, he narrows his eyes. ]

Whatever. Live in your magical shop that no one else can enter, and test people, and let them die while the Earth burns up and you can escape in your ship, and live in space.

That sounds great.

[onlypets]

[They fight like school children.

He peers at Rin from over a shoulder.]

Why does it bother you so much, that this is the way it is for me? I'm sure you have more important things to worry about.

[damp]

Huh? [ truly can't decide who is more annoying between d and rang ] You're asking me that when you're always acting like my mom?

[onlypets]

[???

Both brows rise a bit, then furrow.]

You never wanted me to treat you that way, so I still don’t understand why you would care.

[damp]

Why aren't I allowed to care?! What's your problem?

[ aggro intensifies ]

[onlypets]

[DAMN, OK, CHILL

Luckily, he is very used to aggression, that's all Leon was made out of anyway.]

I didn't say you couldn't. I just said I didn't understand why after everything.

[damp]

[ hello how did i lose this ]

I don't have a reason. [ flatly. ] I think things would be better if you had a chance you be happy, for you and the people around you.

Just because I can't explain it, doesn't mean it's not real.

[onlypets]

[you don't want to rp with me anymore.....]

You're a strange young man, offering your killer kindness.

[damp]

[ stop ]

Whether I'm an asshole or whether I'm nice isn't going to change what already happened. [ Looks right at D. ] All I can is try to change what happens next.

... And I never said I was being nice for your sake anyway.

[ tch! ]
