>"Please don't just think of me like that. It's nice to know, but you don't have to."
>"I don't want you risking your life for me, you are just too much for me !"//Miniking ?
>"Even if you were confident you'd be alright, it still makes me... feel useless. That's the last thing I want right now."
>"...i will, for Obaa-san, for Miss Keine, for Mother...">Hug Arukas with affection.>"...and especially for you, together we can defeat all the adversities that life throws at us, and we will find the people we seek..."//Minikiiiiing !
>Hug a bit tighter. Don't let go yet.
>Let go.>"Arukas. Is there anything else I missed over the time I've been gone?"
>"Were there any other incidents ?"
>"What about our friends? Have they talked about me recently? Have you made any new friends?"
>"Oh... Erm, well, we should get back to shopping. It's been delayed enough already."
>Start heading to the market again.
>Have our hand slowly reach for Arukas', then change our mind and back away.
>Take a breath and slowly hold her hand for real this time, then point at Miss Keine with our other one.>"There she is, let's go talk to her."
>Don't hold her hand yet.
>How old are we, and how old is Arukas?
>Follow her !
>Catch up to Arukas.
>Remember to ask Arukas how old she is (politely).
>"H-Hey Miss Keine...">Wave faintly.
>Shy away a bit, then nod.>"Y-Yeah... it's been a while i know.."
>"...On one hand, it's been really nice to see that Arukas and you still care about me after all this time. On another, we haven't been doing the best back at home... I'd... like to be happy about being out again."
