No, I can buy you more with no issue.

...

Please don't eat year-old candy, Nagano-kun.

[nagano]

No thanks.
It's just candy. I'll buy it at the hundred yen store.

AND I'M NOT THE ONE EATING IT.
It's for the kids who pass by.

[ No children actually hang out near his apartment complex. It's got a reputation for being haunted. ]

[ocastitatis]

DON'T GIVE THE CHILDREN OLD CANDY!?
It's fine! Stop being so stubborn about these silly things!

[nagano]

Stale candy isn't bad...

[ Maybe he does eat them after all??? ]

That's RICH coming from you, Kettle-chan.

[ocastitatis]

IT DEFINITELY ISN'T GOOD!

[ NASTY. ]

Stop trying to distract me. Honestly... Nagano-kun may look and seem reliable, but you're actually quite careless when it comes to taking care of yourself, aren't you?

[nagano]

IT'S EDIBLE.

AND I'M NOT THE DISTRACTION, YOU ARE!!!
I take care of what I need.
That's more than enough for me.
Quit psychoanalyzing.

[ocastitatis]

I'M NOT AT ALL DISTRACTING??

AND IT ISN'T!!
NAGANO-KUN, YOU IDIOT.
Fine!
Do as you like!

[nagano]

Is it really that big of a deal?
I work my jobs, I go to school, I pay my rent.
I make sure my cat wants for nothing...
So what if I have to suck it up?

[ocastitatis]

... But because you try hard at being a good member of society, then you ought to try just as hard as well at being kind with yourself.

Even if you don't always get it right.
You should still treasure yourself the most, Nagano-kun.

[nagano]

...Maybe I'll believe that again, someday.

[ The words barely come out as a whisper against his phone screen. ]




You care too much about some lousy human.
But I don't hate that about you.
I guess you can still come over and have ramen whenever you want.

[ocastitatis]

Please don't say mean things about my friend.






So no sukiyaki?

[nagano]

No guarantees.
Your friend's an asshole.

If you really want sukiyaki, I've gotta make it at home.
Is that acceptable?
You can meet Tango, and the kids.

[ocastitatis]

Yes!
I already bought plenty of ingredients!

AND I WAS GIVEN ENOUGH PUDDING TO SHARE.

[nagano]

...What were you gonna do if I had said no, huh?

I don't know if the kids will be able to eat the pudding.
Probably can... I guess we'll find out.

[ocastitatis]

You never were going to say no, though.

Kids love pudding, so it'll be fine!

[nagano]

Tch.
Don't say that with that stupid bright smile on your face, stupid.

[ tsun. ]

Come by whenever.
I'm done hiding the bodies.

[ocastitatis]

Nagano-kun can't even see my face right now.

[ But she'll go. And if she happens to be smiling, THAT'S A COMPLETE COINCIDENCE. ]
