Thanks, dude.

[He follows after her, carefully settling the flower crown on his head]

I got all turned around - I ain't even sure how I got here.

["She likes you. That's probably why."

You take two or three turns before she leads you to a random door at a random alley.

"Through here. You shouldn't get lost."]

Re: KABUKICHO

[crossmyheartandhope]

Thanks.

[He turns to go - hesitates]

Hey. You're part of her, right?

Re: KABUKICHO

[idolpro]

["How'd you ever guess?" But her wry smirk softens before long. "There something you wanted to ask?"]

Re: KABUKICHO

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. You got kinda an insider's POV, yeah?

You mind, like... looking out for her, some? From in here? She beats herself up too much.

["You're telling me," and her smile goes a little tired.

"...We all got our roles to play. I'll do what I can, but..." She drifts back towards the street, pulling up a fresh grin. "Anyway--you're in a hurry, right? Go on."]

Re: KABUKICHO

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Thanks, dude.

[He reaches out and takes her hand - gives it a squeeze]

Catch you on the flip side, kay?

Re: KABUKICHO

[idolpro]

["Tell her to come see me sometime, okay?"

She squeezes back, her hand warm.

The doorway is open, and he can go right through]

[He nods - squeezes one more time, and then steps through]
