[help

OF COURSE HE WILL LET HER IN.]

[She has rebounded so fast...

... Part of Tsukasa is impressed and amazed, and part of him is somehow even more worried about her now.]


I--

[Still. It's Don Quixote.]

--of course. I'd like that a lot. Let's do it. Here, we can sit over here while we do our nails.

[It's about the intent, anyway!!! Mostly. Tsukasa might fix them later but he'll do it with love--]

A rainbow...! You truly are prepared!

[A slow breath in, and he manages a brighter smile, presenting a hand. (Nails, perfect. Hands, perfectly maintained.)]

In that case, I'd like to request pink! And perhaps gold as well!

[She is taking it so seriously. Tsukasa just beams in response, of course.]

That sounds excellent! I'm happy to leave it to your artistic vision, Don Quixote. Dazzle me with your skills!

That is something I believe with all of my heart!!

[Despite his enthusiasm, he does remain very carefully still for her while she does his nails.]

Thank you for this, by the way.

Of course we are! You have been a wonderful friend to me here!

[...

He watches her apply the polish for a long moment, smile fading into something softer.]


... I was worried about you... today.

It's okay that it wasn't, you know.

[He tilts his head, inspecting her expression.]

I worry about you because we're friends. That's perfectly normal.

That's not true!

[Firmly, leaning in a little (hopefully the sudden movement doesn't ruin her nail painting efforts).]

That Noelle and Annette were put in a situation like that, that forced them into a corner like this...! That is not their faults! In any other circumstance, I truly believe Noelle would never have done such a thing!

[Oops.

He stills again when he notices, smile apologetic.]


That's right...! Given a proper support network, and a situation where she hadn't been put through so much pain... Noelle would never have made the choices she made.

I think that's true of everything that has happened here so far. And so, more than anything... we all need to make it through this. So we can meet everyone as they would be outside of this place.
