[ but then the problem is that she's also dealing with a clown, so - ]
Why wouldn't you be objective regardless? We're talking about fake-Geto.
Follow-up question:
Would a change in behaviour indicate a more genuine attempt at interest in Satoru's part, or is that still part of the same careless attitude he uses to disarm the audience?
Geto ... feels that there are moments of genuine sincerity interspersed between his clownish behaviour. It does not help that as far as Geto knows, this kind of behaviour is unique to Satoru's when it comes to him.
The real Geto should be cutting down on his vices since this isn't about him, unless he is also creating strange rituals with men named Satoru to disguise emotions about kissing and so on.
[ ah, well. what does she know? ]
Anyway, fake-Satoru is a clown to everyone, but sometimes, he is very sincere to fake-Geto.
Wait, nevermind. This is about my imposter. Let me make it clear. You have a friend. A friend who is bad with social cues and politeness. A friend who makes things feel like a joke sometimes. A friend who you feel might have some kind of genuine feeling, but you're afraid that, what, they're not sincere? Why wouldn't they be? Do they kiss a lot of people?
Wait. I had used you and your friend's name as an analogue because I consider you rather well-experienced about ... matters, but now I'm wondering. Do you make such rituals with real-Satoru the way fake-Geto does?
I'm sure you're very well-adjusted in your past life. Which is why you stared at his door the first time you let me into your room for tea, for no reason at all. [ lmao ]
Anyway, the answer is that it's hard to determine sincerity with someone whose emotions are more guarded than yours.
[ and now that she thinks about it, it seems a bit odd with how callisto ended the conversation. there's something about it that she needs to grasp but it's not quite at her fingertips at the moment.
anyway, one question at a time - ]
He brought it up. It wasn't the right moment, so I just said I'd be willing to try it.
He asked if he could kiss you and you said what, 'sure maybe sometime?'. Do you want to kiss him? Are your feelings romantic? I only ask because you weren't even sure they were truly anything more than curiosity once upon a time, and I'd hate to aid an accidental heartbreak.
( And then a picture, sake on a dingy table in a secluded corner. He's doing this the truly serious way now. )
Neither of us pursued it in the end - we're not shy people, so ... I think it was just a matter of giving things time to grow. It's not like we stopped talking to each other after.

Is fake-Satoru the royal one again?
How has fake-Satoru's behaviour changed? Does it feel more genuine? Has it changed towards everyone or just you? I mean, fake-Geto.

The real Geto. Me. I'm going to get drunk now and this is all your fault.
( Announcing it now so if he needs someone to walk him home later Rover will be suitably guilted into it. )
Do you mean the clowning is happening specific to fake-Geto? Or is fake-Satoru a clown to everyone?

Answer my questions please, Rover-san. As an aside, I'm a single father who runs a religious organisation. Matters rarely come into it.

[ how does she explain this .... maybe it was a mistake to reach out to geto after all. ]
I think the idea of kissing him isn't unpleasant.
We've been affectionate in other ways. So, I just thought, if he wants to kiss me, I wouldn't mind it at all.

I understand being cautious, but Rover-san, if it's something you want you should take it.

I suppose you're right - I must seize on the initiative while we have it.

Good. Have fun. You should.
