"Hello, hello! You've reached Kanbaru Suruga, better known as Araragi'sRin's a certain someone's sex slave. My specialty move is the edge attack. It seems I'm not available right now, but if you would leave a message, I'll be sure to get back to you on my own time. Thanks!"
You probably should have, but given the content of my original messages I can see how it might cause some confusion. I would apologise, but I had a task to complete and I have done so.
In lieu of an apology, all I can do is offer you the chance to speak. We all have our stories, yours would have no effect on me. The burden will always be yours, whether you choose to share it or not.
That's true, isn't it? And I wouldn't wish to share the burden with anyone else; this is just. [ ... ] Admittedly, I'm impressed with your wisdom, in that my words have yet to deter you from being willing to listen.
[ ah. but why is she hesitant to tell others about this in the first place? because she's selfish, and wants to project a false image of goodness. she doesn't want others to treat her differently than that, and continue to revel in what's untrue. it's not even about "feeling better" (had never been); it's about being unwilling to bear a mark of sin.
she laughs at herself, and the ridiculousness of this. to think, it arose because this mysterious stranger had a task to complete — a mere task! — and she'd been the random recipient. fascinating. ]
Well, I won't bore you with the details, at least.
In conclusion, I feverishly prayed for harm to befall others. The circumstances of why are irrelevant; no matter them, this is unacceptable. Beyond unacceptable— immoral. These wishes of mine were granted. ... And it isn't something that I don't regret daily; I would like to think, perhaps, clichely, that I've since seen the error of my ways.
Mankanshoku? ... Mako? Oh. I admit, that's surprising to hear... But I'll take your word for that. It won't happen, so far as it's possible to not engage with a roommate.
I train it everyday, so I can only hope that it's in peak condition. The affirmation is appreciated!
[ grinning. she gives asuka an elevator-glance... she's not checking her out, perse, but it's easy to note that her fellow black team member is also very fit! ]
Are you an athlete, as well? You mentioned going to the Sports Centre earlier.
[ how... coincidental. her interest is definitely piqued, as asuka might be able to tell, what with the way she tilts her head. ]
And well-rounded in other sports, too... Wow. That's incredible. [ a blink. she seems a little lost; how much should she share? her next works come slowly. ] Ah, I used to do track when I was younger! ... I quit, though, when I realized my talents were more suited to basketball.
[ or well, y'know. hospitalizing the competition kind of puts a strain on things. ]
Oh, I don't think I'm aware of many of them! I might practice at the centre sometimes, but...
[ trails off. that's a "no", essentially. ]
[ anyway, to complete what she's trying to save, she waves her bandaged left arm. ]
I've always been under the — perhaps mistaken, when it comes to this place? — impression that clubs require a great amount of work. And I injured my arm a while back, you see... It's just a matter of waiting for it to heal properly, haha.
[ That's okay, she'll give her the time she needs to join a team. ]
Yeah, you should probably wait until you're okay again first. You don't have to put a lot of work into it if you don't want to though. I just do it since I was already used to it.
[ bingo. she might react more strongly if she hadn't already offered her ass to asuka, too... ]
Permission granted, Satsuki-sama! Where would you like to meet? I think it may be more prudent to do so at your house, but wherever you decide is best is also fine with me.
That's true! [ she does know clubs were a lot of work back home... thus, the question. which begs the next one: ] "Already used to it", hm? Were you also part of the track team back home?
Some sort of selfish motivation, I'm assuming; but the fact that you show some semblance of remorse is enough to show that you took something away from your actions.
[ There's a few moments before another message comes. ]
You would be correct in that assumption. But haha, I would like to think so. The absolute best that could come from that sort of situation is that I did, indeed, learn something.
[ another pause. it's a pretty heavy topic, so it's justified for both of them. ]
No. While I may still indulge those abhorrent thoughts from time to time, as is in my nature, acting on them is something I know that can never, ever, happen again.
