( fuckin' ghost architecture. )

Somehow I'm not surprised. ... The important things seem to be stationary, at least.

[selfportraiture]

Yeah, I can confirm that. Cafeteria and everything aside, the art room's always been in the exact same room every time.

[beathollow]

... At least the art room is accessible.

( for blossom's sake. )

[selfportraiture]

Yeah, I wouldn't have been able to make these without that, at least.

[She's the lucky one. No home ec access for Mizuki, no music room access for Mafuyu.]

It does make me wonder why the rest of the rooms are locked, though. The auditorium's open also.

[beathollow]

Ghost nonsense.

[selfportraiture]

Ghost nonsense...

[A thoughtful pause, and then she groans.]

That's so unsatisfying.

[Even though she's probably right.]

[beathollow]

That's because the ghosts here are dicks.

( MAFUYU )

[selfportraiture]

H-huh?

I mean, yeah, I totally agree, but--huh?!

[WHOA. Mafuyu's rebellion arc in full swing... Ena will be delighted when she's less surprised.]

[beathollow]

... What?

[selfportraiture]

I guess you're not holding back on how you really feel anymore, huh? At least, not with your word choice.

[beathollow]

...

( oh. huh. )

I already ran away from home, what else can I do wrong?

[selfportraiture]

Running away from home wasn't you doing anything "wrong". And neither is using words that are how you really feel.

[A shrug. She crosses her arms.]

Say whatever you want, Snowdrop. If anyone tells you to stop, then they're just being a dick too.

[beathollow]

...

( is that a laugh? )

[selfportraiture]

[... Her eyes narrow suspiciously.

A... laugh? That wasn't a weird sounding sneeze or anything, was it?]

... What.

[beathollow]

I'd be miserable if you weren't here. ... You always have been a guiding light for me.

Thank you, Botan.

[selfportraiture]

H-huh?!

[?????]

That's-- I'm. Huh?!

[Oh no, she's taken the resident tsundere offline... reboot required.]

[beathollow]

You're all very precious to me. Is that a surprise?

1/2

[selfportraiture]

[oh my god.

Maybe she's hallucinating.]

That's not... that's not it! I just--wasn't expecting you to say all of that all of a sudden...?!

[Her voice is pitched up in embarrassment and surprise and also because she's happy even though she refuses to admit it.]

2/2

[selfportraiture]

[A... AHEM. FOCUS, ENA.]

W-what was that all about anyway? What just came over you?

Re: 2/2

[beathollow]

( ah.




she is bad at this. )

...

I don't know. I just... know it was warm, like when we're all together. And I wanted to put it to words.

I'm trying to be more honest, after all.

[selfportraiture]

... Wow. No kidding, huh?

[Mafuyu really is putting forth the effort. This place sucks, but if it at least lets Mafuyu embrace that... then... maybe it's not so bad.]

Well... keep it up. And, you just surprised me, that's all! Next time I won't be taken off-guard.

[Next time she will still react the same way.]
