[oh no]

I still don't want to hurt you.

[gamerbrain]

[ oh! she looks back over to shi qingxuan, a little surprised. not that shi qingxuan doesn't want to hurt her, but that she thought she needed to say so. ]

Aoi knows.

Aoi is fine.

[shiftingwinds]

...

[she doesn't sound fine, though, is the thing. her brows furrow, and she looks to her with concern, but she doesn't seem to know quite what to say.]

[gamerbrain]

[ ... it's okay, aoi can take over! ]

Ending things with Aoi is better than two-timing Ming Yi.

[shiftingwinds]

[


uh. she just looks supremely confused at that.]

Two-timing? But, he and I aren't...

[gamerbrain]

No? Aoi heard you were.

[shiftingwinds]

What? From who? When? What in the world...

[gamerbrain]

From Takeru, on Saturday.

[shiftingwinds]

[this answer is



somehow even more surprising than hearing "two-timing ming yi" was]

...that's, what... [...] ...he's mistaken. I don't... [??? god.] I'm not involved with anyone... romantically.

[gamerbrain]

Are you sure?

Aoi thinks Takeru is smart, and he doesn't lie to Aoi... [ i have no idea why aoi believes this? ]

[shiftingwinds]

Maybe he's just... mistaken...?

[...]

At any rate, I'm not sure that this place is really all that good for finding romance in the first place...

[gamerbrain]

Maybe...

[ ... ]

Why not?

[shiftingwinds]

...well, for one thing, we'll be going home once we get out of here... and for another, it's... this is a really dangerous situation that we're all in right now, you know?

...I'm sure that could make some feelings stronger, but...

[it just seems like a difficult situation for people to fall in love in]

[gamerbrain]

Why can't you still be in love at home?

People can't be in love when they're in danger?

[ she doesn't understand at all! ]

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... well, he and I could, if that was the case, since we're from the same place, I suppose... maybe. [maybe?] But we aren't. And most of us aren't from the same world.

...they can be! I don't mean to imply that they can't. It just seems like it would be harder for people to find romantic moments when our lives are on the line.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi has read all kinds of stories about people falling in love when they're in danger. It isn't that strange.

Besides, aren't you here to have wishes granted? Couldn't you just wish to stay together?

[shiftingwinds]

I suppose you're not wrong about that...

[still doesn't seem entirely romantic to her, though! she'd like to find someone to hold hands with when sleeping around and also murder aren't really a thing.]

...you could do that, but then, what about the things you originally came here for?

[gamerbrain]

Why can't you have both?

[shiftingwinds]

That would be two wishes, then. Wouldn't it?

[gamerbrain]

There's probably a Happy Ending loophole.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... it would be nice if there was.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi thinks there is.

[shiftingwinds]

...from your own experiences? Or...?

[gamerbrain]

Nope.

In games, if you make the wrong choices you get a Bad End. You can't fix it. You have to start over.

... But this isn't a game.

[shiftingwinds]

That's right, it's not...

[hm]

Did you talk to an Avatar about this, Aoi?
