It was sort of confusing. The man wanted to save his family more than he wanted to protect the city, but in the end he was able to save both. That kind of thing doesn't happen. Does it?

[theheirofbreath]

Sure it does! I mean, not often, but...

You've just gotta have faith in yourself and keep trying even when everything seems like it's hopeless. If you do that, you can accomplish anything.

[Yeah, he really is this naive. And somehow he makes it work.]

[breatheinthefog]

...You really think that?

[theheirofbreath]

I really do. It's that belief that kept me going back home.

[breatheinthefog]

But fate is inevitable.

[theheirofbreath]

Hehehe, yeah... That's what everyone kept telling me. That we'd already lost, that our session was doomed, that we couldn't possibly change things.

But I could never get myself to believe that.

[breatheinthefog]

You aren't the only one who's said those kinds of things.

[theheirofbreath]

That's good, isn't it? I think more people could use a little optimism in their lives.

[breatheinthefog]

What does it accomplish?

[theheirofbreath]

It keeps you from giving up.

[breatheinthefog]

...hm.

[theheirofbreath]

Hey, Kaoru, did you wanna grab something to eat?

[breatheinthefog]

I don't see why not.

[theheirofbreath]

Great! There's a little cafe a few streets over.

[People on dates go to cafes, right? He's pretty sure it's better than fast food.]

[breatheinthefog]

You've thought about this a lot, haven't you?

[theheirofbreath]

hehe, not really. You're actually the first girl I've ever gone out with.

[breatheinthefog]

Gone out...

[theheirofbreath]

Y- yeah. So... I guess I'm still kinda getting the hang of it.

[breatheinthefog]

That's fine.

[theheirofbreath]

Hehehe.....

[Blushing again]

Well, ummm... I wouldn't mind doing this again. I mean, if you wanted to.

[breatheinthefog]

...I don't see why not.

[theheirofbreath]

Great!

[Embarrassed pause.]

Uh, hehe, I mean that's... that's cool. You're pretty fun to hang out with.

[breatheinthefog]

I don't understand it, but... thank you. I like you.

[theheirofbreath]

[So much blushing is happening right now.]

Th-thanks. To be honest, I don't really understand it either. But I think this is the kind of thing people aren't supposed to understand.

[breatheinthefog]

...Maybe.
