... He found out.

[y e a h]

[bakaomi]

Yeah. He... made me aware.

[ by hitting him twice ]

[selfimmolates]

[he cringes.]

... Sorry?

[bakaomi]

It's whatever. He's going to probably avoid me for a while though.

[ it's how it went back home, the only difference being that they'd always be forced to reunite at the end of the day since they shared a dorm room. that's not the case here. ]

[selfimmolates]

That idiot... it's not your fault.

[bakaomi]

[ he shrugs. ]

It's what I get for trying to lie.

[selfimmolates]

On my behalf. Geez... you're already more than honest than a lot of people. It's unreasonable to expect someone to never lie.

[bakaomi]

[ it looks like he wants to say something, but he hesitates, and waits a few second for the moment to pass. ]

He probably just expected better from me. Stupid rabbit...

[selfimmolates]

You're both stupid.

[bakaomi]

You're stupid.

[selfimmolates]

Great, we can all be stupid together.

[bakaomi]

Looks like it.

[ ... ]

I don't like liars.

[selfimmolates]

I got that impression.

[which honestly makes his current company Something.]

[bakaomi]

You can build a whole relationship with someone, and then something as stupid as a lie can destroy it. Or you can think you know someone, only to find out they're actually someone completely different...

[ he trails off, not sure where to go with this. ]

That's the kind of thing a game like this thrives on though, I guess.

[selfimmolates]

... I'm aware.

[he knows very well—what it's like to not be the person others thought you were.]

That straightforwardness of yours is what makes people trust you here. Sorry you had to lie for me—but remember that.

[bakaomi]

[ takaomi almost asks "what people" but he manages not to ]

... don't worry about it. I'll figure something out with him.

[selfimmolates]

["don't worry about it" taka says when ray and senri are like 10 comments into a new pc]

You'd better. I don't want to learn tomorrow that you two are still fighting.

[bakaomi]

[ listen there is no way they are going to make up tonight unless a miracle happens so they're probably going to still be fighting tomorrow ]

I can't say that we definitely won't be fighting?

[selfimmolates]

[he sighs.]

At least be fighting over something else.

[bakaomi]

[ can you believe this is their first actual fight since they started dating ]

... that one is more doable.

[selfimmolates]

Right.

... Sorry again.

[bakaomi]

... it's fine. It's a good lesson for me.

[ if the reason for the fight were anything else he would probably be more angry at senri, admittedly, but he's mostly just tired. ]

[selfimmolates]

... And that lesson is?

[bakaomi]

[ there's a pause

and he shrugs casually. ]

I'm not really cut out for games like this.

[selfimmolates]

Then joining one was a stupid idea. [...] Though in the larger context of things, some might say you shouldn't be ashamed of that.
