[It's amazing how quickly they've slipped into this comfortable companionship now, how natural they all seem around each other.
Haru didn't just go through the motions of playing along with Ran and Ren today, he had actually enjoyed it. But he'd enjoyed in because it meant that he was getting to play with Rin and Makoto too--getting to play in those not-quite-childlike ways that meant acting the part of a kid while knowing the whole time that it was exactly that play-acting which bound you together with the other not-kids playing the kids' games.
It's so organic that Haru's insides really do feel buoyant and light, even if his limbs feel almost too heavy to move. He actually does feel free. It's an almost dizzying sensation. So he doesn't ask for anything (not even the DVD, which he's sure can wait). Instead he just makes a suggestion.]
Come lie down with us, Rin. There's plenty of room.
