...I'm just normal. [ not sweet or anything, JUST NORMAL. it's strange to see her again since most of their interactions were over letters but the feelings are generally more contented now that people have returned. ] It's been fine. People were stressed, but that always happens.
what he says makes her smile. he's a weirdo, but he is normal, and that is part of what she finds sweet because roxana craves normalcy. however, she has to bring up a point. ]
You ate crayons.
[ even if it was for an achievement. it's not a critique or admonishment, just. it's not normal. but it is better than murder. ]
[ the achievement exists now, and outside looking in, that's what matters.
her emotionshare is very faintly amused. ]
It's no wonder you and Ylfa were teammates. That you were willing to do it and you did it with a goal in mind but still feel the way you do about it speaks volumes.
[ and gerard. he's learned a lot from them in terms of responsibility. ]
I don't think it says much about me. I'd believe most people don't find any joy in this stuff. [ again, just... normal. he is not extraordinary. this may be a generous estimate of humanity. ] Did you have much chance to talk to her?
[ his expectations of people are about average. it hasn't dipped tremendously, even here. but by now he's aware not everyone's lived a life that allows for more than cynicism.
he does hope that his approach to things was decent. as decent as it can be. so his feelings are a little mixed, grateful for her assessment but also trying not to enjoy it too much. so. shopping. ]
Yeah, I don't think any of us would've been great for shopping.
[ between... rin haru and gerard....... ] It sounds like she really wanted to, though.
It seemed to boost her spirits just by suggesting it. I do want her to have moments where she can be a normal girl without thinking about murder or her story or anything else.
[ she knows ylfa isn't normal for many reasons, but that doesn't mean she still can't be afforded it. ]
[ he loves ylfa more broadly than perhaps ylfa loves herself, both wolf and awkward tween girl who wants to go shopping with a polished and mysterious lady. ]
I can't really do much about her... battles. But it's good to have moments where it's always going to end happily.

Hello, Haruka. You're sweeter and more consistent with messages than expected. Have you been hanging in there?

Murder wears on normal people, Haruka.

it's because he's ordinary that it stands out in a way. it is not a generous estimate of humanity. her opinion of most people starts out low. ]
It's less about not finding joy in that and more the approach. [ she nods. ] I asked her if she wanted to do anything with me, and she said shopping.

[ to roxana, ylfa freely gives so much about herself because she wants to be known and acknowledged. ]
Although I think she wants you to gossip with her.
