Yeah, but I'm still not seeing anything too major, either. Unless the big scary boogie man is coming to get us, and even then, I'm pretty sure we can punt him -- or her -- to Mars. [ RATIONALIZING SM...ASHINALIZING. ] Ren worries a lot about his friends. I think sometimes... he takes the role of our leader a little too far, though. We had more than one conversation about that while he was here. [ Conversations, arguments, whatever. It doesn't matter now. ] ...Yeah. There's a lot about him that I never told you. I didn't dare, because of Ren, and because... I dunno. It didn't seem right while he was here.
[ But now he's not, and anyways, it'd be better if Seto were aware just in case Akechi did show up again. Maybe he could understand why Akechi is the way he is a little better. ] No problem~ [ And lead the way she does, once she knows he's going to let her link their arms together. She's missed walking with him like this, and it's nice to fall into some sense of normalcy. Also... how did he know where they lived, huh... ] Maybe. I can't help it, though... but I'm not mad. I'd rather be here with you, anyways. [ Not a lie, either. Especially since she's entirely certain that her friends should be... somewhat safe at home, if Ren had told her the truth before. That the maniac trying to play God was gone and things were back to normal. ] Sure can't, it'd really mar their legacy~.
[ She's glad he isn't pushing at her last response, at least right now, they make their way through the various areas, winding here and there until they reach their destination in the Kichijoji District. She leads him up to the apartment that once held two of her friends, and from her pocket she retrieves one of the m a n y lock picks made by Ren himself and proceeds to just sort of... casually pick the lock on the door. When she hears it successfully click open, she straightens and turns towards Seto. ]
...Be careful where you step, okay? You'll see why in a sec. [ Again, the walls are thin, and besides, she'd rather just let him see these stupid explosives himself. So she pushes the door open and gestures for him to enter -- it's certainly a lot larger than their last apartment, and it's clean and neat and decorated with flowers and molotov cocktails. Once Seto's inside, she steps in after him and shuts the door, sighing. ]
...Do you see why I didn't want to say anything out loud earlier?
