.... yeah.

[just - softly and sadly.]

I'm glad it's been a while since yours at least, Sheila-san... I know all of you who got swept up together have been working as best as you can... We owe a lot to you.

[a beat]

And - don't say this to him because he'll actually kick my ass and I'll get in trouble - but I'm really glad you're looking after Takeru.

Hey, you've been working hard too.

[But she smiles, as much as she can when someone stabbed their local lesbeanie baby.]

Don't worry, my lips are sealed. But... even if his repressed ass won't admit it, Takeru's my friend. He's done a lot for me already. I'm just paying it forward.

[ . . . . . . ah.

his expression melts into something sincerely happy - it's tinged with some level of sadness, of course, given the death but.]

.... he's really repressed, right?

[heh.]

Good. He needs people to look after him too, even if you risk getting bitten every time.

One hundred percent.

[Fondly. Takeru is an asshole but she must stan.]

Please. That would require him not running in the opposite direction every time I suggest something fun we can do together.

[nodding solemnly....]

Just keep at it. It took weeks for him to agree to hang out with me here, and I've known him for months.

He gives up eventually.
