[ well ]
[ here goes nothin' ]
I would like to go on a date with you. [ to clarify. gosh, she regrets the informality of this already! it lacks her usual flair, her ridiculous dramatics... she hopes that's for the best, maybe. she put this girl through a lot already; any added pressure is something she would prefer to avoid. ] If I asked you out, would you be adverse to the idea?

One you don't feel like retelling, huh? Hahaha.
All right, Ryuko-kun, I'll take your word for it. And I'm being sincere when I say that, too! You've proven your heroics to me; you don't need to prove anything else. Though admittedly a disappointing answer, I appreciate your heartfelt honesty.

Big deal? I would do no such thing.
But thank you for considering it! I look forward to the day.

Ah, my apologies for the lack of clarification! [ minus another ten points for presentation... ] The non-platonic kind— date date kind of date.
[ holy crap, so cute... and acceptance! she's relieved. it's like getting another chance at... well, whatever. kanbaru's grinning from ear-to-ear. ]
That's great to hear! Thank you for this opportunity— You won't regret it! [ BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. excited fist-pumping ensues. ] —Hyaahhh, I'm so ready! But the manner in which I asked you out was kind of boring, wasn't it? You don't need to clarify. I know it was. But don't worry! I'll make it up to you, Rin-chan! Valentines Day... Mark your calendar!!

I told you to be less shameful! Have some shame!
[that gets Rin to think— to actually think, which isn't something she often does. she hadn't meant to wish on the arm though, but even before then, Rin hadn't put much serious thought into the wish besides some vaguely sad feelings of yearning.
maybe she was just too scared to step any closer.]
that's a hard way to learn a lesson like that... but if that's true, then her intentions were still good, right? so maybe the landlord's intentions were good too, even if a lot of people ended up getting hurt.
am i overthinking it?

Aa-aah, that sort of thing is reserved for my master's eyes only. It requires at least a leash and collar to see that expression on the face of Kanbaru Suruga!
Is it selfish to say "myself"? Oh! Is this a case of the fabled... secondhand embarrassment?
[ does she really want to make satsuki listen to that... probably not ]
... Perhaps not. Haha, so long as you know Kanbaru Suruga and Araragi Koyomi have that "special bond", then all is not lost.

Hm... [ well, considering kanbaru's mother's... nature, that wouldn't be an unfair generalization to the landlord. ] I suppose we can't know for certain in either case, but it is perfectly possible that the intentions were good, after all.
No, I don't believe you're overthinking (I shall definitely tell you when you're doing that, rest-assured!!). Though, I do wonder if Rin-chan optimistically learned a lesson in anything, beyond "be careful what you wish for".

Gross! I hope whatever their name was buries you six feet under!
[ ... !! ]
K-Kyaaa...! That's unexpectedly cruel. Ah, right to the heart. You don't mean Araragi-senpai by "whatever their name was", do you? But perhaps it would be all right if it was him, being murdered in the name of love...

Not on my part. [She tsks, and, honestly, it sounds a little judgmental.]
Kanbaru. It sounds as if you want this person to take notice of you. Are you not getting the attention you desire?
[That's a shot for the jugular if Satsuki's ever made one.]

I'm glad to hear that!
[ oh... well. satsuki wouldn't be wrong in that assumption; she's neither senjougahara's girlfriend (top priority) nor araragi's sex slave. both endeavors have been failed. she hums thoughtfully. ]
Did I make it that obvious? [ yes. ] Perhaps this is my way of acting out... In my defense, it's a little more cunning than a child simply throwing a tantrum.

No, you wouldn't do such a thing without seeing how it fed into some larger scheme. You're more forward-thinking that that.
[While everyone else is busy being scandalized with the message, Satsuki's gone back to being bombproof, trying to understand what drives Kanbaru to act the way she does.] What's the method behind the madness?

Unexpectedly? You don't know me well enough to judge. [ She scoffs. ] Sure, whatever, call it what you want, so long as you rest in pieces.
Ah! Did I say "unexpectedly"? A slip of the tongue; perhaps I should've said expectedly.
... But Nonon-san is right, of course. I shouldn't make either of those assumptions. Thus! I should probably bother to try to get to know you better firstly, right?

[ she considers the question. considers if she should answer truthfully. it's a little startling, she thinks, how much satsuki already knows about her. could she say the same? certainly not. it's a motive she files away for later.
it's not as if there weren't people out there that already knew of this particular story, she tells herself. but... ]
Hmm. Are you sure you wish to know? It's another ugly truth that doesn't paint me in a particularly flattering light.

[It's strange, in some ways, that Satsuki's become a person others feel comfortable oversharing with. Then again, it's not too far a deviation from the way she was before. There's something magnetic about a stone wall that nonetheless absorbs, absorbs, absorbs - like a sponge.]
I'm used to those. Life is inherently full of those truths - trying to conceal them, seeing them resurface, understanding they were always a part of us.
