( There's a story there, as far as he knows Toji died. Unless it's like Kenjaku? Do any of them stay dead? )
I think there was a point where he decided he just simply didn't feel it. If I had been a better friend I would have noticed. Maybe I could have intervened, but -.
maybe sometime in the future. he's being a little belligerent and it's getting on my nerves.
[ explaining shibuya is difficult for megumi, because he was both catalyst for the worst parts of it, and also essentially dead soon after fighting toji. his surprise when he woke up alive is something he hasn't fully processed even now. ]
but everyone deals with their own issues too. you had your own troubles at the time.
[ doesn't take much to figure as much, respectfully. ]
does this mean you and sensei are also talking more now?
We're both trying, which means something. ( They would just both rather die than address the elephant in the room, and quite literally. ) It's better than it was.
That sounds strange to think. They were fine before. We were friends. But we're different now. He seems to want to try, and I can't let him do that all alone, can I?
Do you think it's better for him? Have you noticed? You've spent more time with him now than I ever have, so maybe I'm wrong.
like he believed he needed to be everything for everyone. even when i was under his care, we didn't live together. too dangerous for me and my sister, and i think he didn't want to disappoint us the way all the adults in our lives had at that point.
no one really talked about you, either. not even nanami-san, or ieiri-san.
so if he's trying now, and with you? if anyone can make it work, you both could. you're two stubborn assholes too smart for the world.

( He'd been in a similarly bad shape. )
I won't let it happen again.

i'm glad things are getting better for both of you. it's nice to see you both happy.
it's disgusting, but it's also nice.

Haha.
Believe me I would rather we weren't too sappy around anyone else. But sometimes we can't help it.

i never really asked, he doesn't talk about before. sometimes he gets weird when we're on campus.
