[he glances at senri, looking mildly annoyed at the sudden physical contact.]

I'm fine. Shouldn't I be asking you that?

Well, the lack of running around while yelling is an improvement, yes. I don't think anyone's expecting you to hide your feelings, though.

Not really.

Not exactly what I have in mind for the future, thanks.

To be frank, I didn't care about Chuuya nearly as much as some of the other losses in my life. All we really did was argue. This is pretty easy to deal with.

More importantly, someone did use an ability on me, and I know who now.

[flies right over feelings]

I don't just store random conversation topics as diversions!

They were hoping I'd think it over and switch to Love since they didn't—and still don't—know I'm already with her, and it's your favourite person in this competition.

It's not Sasuke.

Seems like it. Now he's probably just paranoid I'm going to kill him for being a Love follower, but I can live with that.

[ray is a shit, news at eleven.]

But for the most part, since Madoka trusts me, he's decided to also have faith in me in the interest of working together. Assuming there's not a catch, at least.

Well, I don't know if I'd go that far. More like we're at the stage where we probably won't try and stab each other to be on the safe side.
