*Kaoru is linefacing as usual, but she clears her throat, looks straight at the screen, and announces...*

I also intend to befriend the entire contact list.

That's all.

(What better way to ring in the new event? To Kaoru, selfish destructive impulses are counterproductive things like making friends, publicly enjoying things, and being nice to everyone. So... yeah.)

And why is it strange? Do other people not stop and smile at you?

[Voice]

[breatheinthefog]

...no, they do.

[Voice]

[raisedroyal]

And yet you still believe it to be unusual?

[Voice]

[breatheinthefog]

There's no reason for it.

[Voice]

[raisedroyal]

But there is a reason for it! Do you not feel something when others react positively to your presence?

[Voice]

[breatheinthefog]

...Yes.

[Voice]

[raisedroyal]

Then that should be enough!

[Voice]

[breatheinthefog]

Why?

[Voice]

[raisedroyal]

[She sighs loudly, clearly becoming irritated.] It's certainly a challenge to have a decent conversation with you, isn't it?

[Voice]

[breatheinthefog]

You've said that.

[Voice]

[raisedroyal]

If I have said it before, then I expect it deserves repeating.

By remaining like this, you're doing nothing more than pushing others away! You can't honestly want to be alone for the rest of your life.

Can you? [There's a note of challenge and only one correct answer.]

[Voice]

[breatheinthefog]

Normally, I don't care either way.

[Voice]

[raisedroyal]

I have a difficult time believing that to be the case. Of course you care.

[Voice]

[breatheinthefog]

I do now and I don't know why. I normally don't care about much.
