KAITO flinches, his blood going cold and his face going pale.

w-what?

Luka pops up from Mizuki's phone with the sound of the SEKAI entrance/exit. Her dress is torn at the bottom. She is obviously overjoyed at something, yet she's trying to hide it.

Hello, Mizuki.

@a-lone-flower

…!

She does a shushing motion to Luka. Judging by their surroundings… it appears as if she is hiding under some stairs?

Keep your voice down!

She goes silent for a few seconds, before grinning.

Hiiii~ how’s your situationship?

[empty-rage]

KAITO relented, bowing his head so he could look at the ground.

A-alright. Just, please don't do anything too extreme.

L-Luka, wait! I-I don't want to intrude!

He takes a nervous step back, his eyes going wide

KAITO can't help but smile. It had been so long since he'd seen Luka this happy.

he'll just hang back for now, watching until they need him. He doesn't want to interrupt.

Gold shiny Teto (O_O)

Hearing the characteristic sound of someone entering Sekai, KAITO takes a deep, steadying breath. 

H-hello Mizuki. It's nice to see you again! How have you been?

He drummed his fingers on his arm as he spoke, the nervous energy having no other outlet.

I probably should if we want to keep the ruse going. Besides, I've been meaning to ask Mizuki some questions about sewing.

KAITO hears the sounds of footsteps behind him echoing off the tile floor. He turns around, his eyes soft.

Hello MEIKO. Is something the matter?

I was, yes. I thought they might like to meet each other.

He turns away, slightly embarrassed.

Hello Len, do you have a moment to talk?

@empty-rage

"...Oh! Y-yes, of course I do, Kaito!"

[empty-rage]

KAITO held his Miku plush close to his chest, her ear right over his chest. A faint pink tinged his cheeks as he stared at the sky

You received a plushie from a strange creature as well, correct?

Hello Len, do you have a moment to talk?

@empty-rage

"...Oh! Y-yes, of course I do, Kaito!"

[empty-rage]

*A plushie of your Miku appears near you.*

-The plushie anon

{He picks up the plushie, dusting it off carefully as if it were the most valuable object in the world. The stitched, heterochromatic eyes somehow carried just as much kindness and understanding as the real ones. It would never replace the real deal, but... desperate times and all that. He was starting to understand what Mafuyu meant when she said that her songs gave her a warm feeling in her chest.}

Len has one of these, too, if I remember correctly. Maybe they'll want to meet each other. I'll ask him later.

[empty-rage]

[a paper airplane flies towards Kaito, hitting him in the back of the neck]

Heya Kaito!! You’ve been quiet lately, but I guess since you’re meant to act as Len you’ve got to be a little shyer. I’ll get straight to the point with you: what do you think of her decision? You know who I’m talking about.

-🪻

Ah!

{KAITO is startled out of his daydreaming by a paper airplane crashing into his neck. It flutters to the ground, and he picks it up, carefully smoothing out any wrinkles it has as he reads the message. He bites his cheek to keep from scoffing at the thought of her.}

Thank you for the message, kind Anon. To answer your question, her decision was quite cowardly and selfish. This utopia was imposed on them, on us. I don't see how removing herself from the equation is supposed to help Mafuyu find her true feelings, stop Mizuki from running, or give Ena the validation she craves.

{He crosses his arms over his chest and worries his lip between his teeth. That familiar fire of anger began blazing once again.}

... apologies for rambling. Her tendency to coddle Mafuyu has always irritated me. I hope I answered your question satisfactorily.

[empty-rage]

[empty-rage]

Kaito!! How’s Mafuyu?

She seems at peace with the other girls when I go to check in on her. I... I'm happy for her even if it feels hollow to watch.

Will she even find her true feelings without them?
