Mmm. [He nods, trying to keep his head pressed against her even as she pulls back. He was comfortable! Come back!] When we were humming, it made me think of...that dream where we played together.
[Okay, fine, she stops pulling back to try to get a look at his face, instead just trusting that he's making a cute expression as he stays in against her shoulder like that. It hides her pink-cheeked flush, anyway, at the mention of that dream. Yeah, she sure knows the one. That was a good dream.]
It... was really nice, wasn't it?
[She presses a kiss to the top of his hair, smile brightening.]
I'd really like that, Shuichi-kun. Whenever you're ready, we can start.
...Oh! Could I come watch your training, sometimes?
[That's only fair, right? He expressed interest in what she does, she should do the same!!]
[Very nice. For multiple reasons, he can't really lie there. The piano duet was nice and also the sex was nice. Even if he wasn't 100% acting like himself due to fantasy shenanigans.]
Oh, um...there's not really much to watch but...you can if you really want to.
[?? That doesn't make any sense. If it was Kaito's idea, why didn't he exercise along with them...? Sure, he seemed kind of laid-back from what she remembered, but what's the point of making his friends exercise without doing it with them?]
Was it just an excuse to hang out with you guys, then?
Mmm...not quite. He's not the kind of person who needs an excuse for something like that. [When he wants to spend time with someone, he just...says so or straight up does it. Not a tsundere, that Kaito Momota.] But the training wasn't really for him, you know? It was for me and Harukawa-san. We were the ones who needed to change ourselves.
[That's the simplest way he can think to put it. It's weird, trying to explain training time to someone else.]
That and... [His expression falls a little bit.] He was really sick. I think that may have played a part in it.
[No, she doesn't really get it, but she isn't going to argue the point, either. She lifts a hand and gently strokes Shuichi's cheek when his expression falls, her own shifting to one of sympathy.]
I had no idea... he never looked sick, when I knew him.
Well, that was the thing...he never really looked sick. That's why he was able to hide it from the rest of us for so long. I think even Momota-kun himself didn't know about it, in the beginning.
[Shuichi still isn't even sure what he actually HAD. If things had gone according to script, they were supposed to assume he had the meteor space plague or whatever but...that was all fake. So why WAS Kaito so sick? Was that something from his previous life, or was that something Team Danganronpa gave him for the sake of keeping the plot interesting?]

[How's that for an abrupt subject change?]

You really want to...?
[She sounds cautiously hopeful, like this is a request that's just too good to be true.]
I'll do my best to teach you, if you really want!!

[You know the one.]
It was nice...
[It was nice and he'd like to do it for real.]

[It's really not very impressive Kaede.]
no subject
I really want to! Maybe I could do it with you, sometimes...
[She sounds a little uncertain, then lets out a quiet pouting noise.]
But don't you dare make fun of how unathletic I am!
no subject
That would make me a hypocrite, don't you think?
[Kaede do you honestly think he is any more athletic than you are? Even if he's been training for months?]
no subject
Maybe just a little... I never really exercised outside of gym class, though. I couldn't risk injuring my hands, you know?
[PLEASE no basketball... soccer... baseball... none of that thanks.]
But as long as we have fun with it, that's okay, right?
no subject
[He had no excuse whatsoever. He's just not an athletic boy.]
But yeah, that's okay. It was never really about the physical prowess part, anyway. Momota-kun didn't even exercise with us half the time...
[Even though he was the one who forced them to do it in the first place...]

Well... when he finally comes here, I'm sure they'll be able to cure him! I haven't seen any sick people on the whole station.
