Sorry, but I don't accept second place in anything. I'm competitive. If you want first place, you'll have to really earn it.

[ She said she didn't have it in her anymore, but the oneechan immediately jumped out too, huh...

Before he can respond, though, Ryoko turns her head a little – laying on her side like that and with some of her hair in her face, she doesn't exactly have a perfect angle but it's enough for them to see each other's faces, even though she was so against it before and she gives him a wry little smile. ]


Or if you're willing to compromise, we can say you're the cooler older brother and I'll be the cooler older sister. That seems fair.

[He'd finally calmed down and then she had to look at him like that. He can feel himself blushing again, because of course he'd already been looking down at her when she'd been looking away, and now his heart's ready to start pounding out of his chest all over again.

He musses her hair playfully, but not so rough as to tangle it up any, giving her a grin that he hopes is equally playful but is tempered somewhat by his own feelings—it's certainly chipper, but there's a fondness in it, too.]


Fine by me. Kaori deserves one of each.

Right. I'll do my best, then.

[ She turns her face away again – mostly because she'd vastly underestimated how embarrassing it'd be to look him in the face again like this – and smiles again, more to herself than him. Maybe it's irresponsible to say something like that when she knows she'll need to be leaving soon, but...

That doesn't mean she can't do what needs to be done now. ]


Next time she's feeling up to it, I'll talk to her. Or... next time she needs someone to talk to about this sort of thing, I think.

[He's really so glad she's here. But it doesn't feel right to say that, so he just tries to focus on breathing evenly to slow his quickened pulse.]

I'll let you know when she needs it.

[Eventually, Kaori will reach an age where he won't be able to check in on her thoughts whenever he wants—teenagers value and need their privacy—but for now, while she's still young enough to need to be taken care of, it's something he does regularly.]

Even if it's not your home, I hope you can think of Bright Sparks as...maybe a sort of vacation house?

[Even that might be asking for too much, but...]

I don't know that I'd call this a vacation. Does your downtime usually involve getting into fights and running for your life?

[ A beat as she considers both what she's just said and who she's just said it to and allows herself a short laugh. ]

Never mind, actually. Don't answer that.

[ Something jostles unpleasantly behind her eyes with the laugh but it's nowhere close to being as bad as it had been before she'd lay down – a persistent tapping compared to a relentless jackhammer. She'll be surprised if it doesn't clear up before much longer and she looses a sigh of relief. ]

... Taeko-san really did have the right idea with this. It's worked much better than I expected.

[Akira laughs too, already preparing to say it sounds like his idea of a great time before Ryoko shuts him down preemptively.]

It's way too embarrassing to have her do it now, but it almost always helped a lot when I was little.

[And then, in a brazen act of either a lack of self-awareness or simple disregard of it:]

If your head starts to hurt again, you can ask me to help out anytime.

[Though there's that bashful tone again, so maybe not a complete lack of awareness, as he combs his fingers through her hair.]

What, like this again?

[ It's a little hard to imagine herself just walking up to Akira and brazenly plopping her head down into his lap – honestly, now her head is a little clearer, it's hard to imagine how she agreed to this in the first place, right in the middle of the park, even if Taroimo is here being an absolute trooper.

But. It's been... surprisingly nice. And even more surprisingly, it'd worked. She doesn't know if it will every time she has a flare up, but if there's anything she can do to stretch out the supply of pills she has, even with Tobei's help...

She gives a thoughtful little hum. ]


... I'll consider it.

I mean...if you wanna, anyway. It ain't any trouble, is all.

[Trying very hard not to give the wrong impression here—it'd be terrible to end this on a sour note.]

There's a couple other things we can try if you'd rather keep this a one-time thing.

[ . . . Seeing Akira so uncertain of himself is kind of unusual. It's a little cute, even. Hm, hopefully that's not a stray thought that he'll pick up. ]

I'm not particularly picky, if I'm honest. So long as it works to clear my head, I'll try anything. ... within reason, of course.

[ Might as well make THAT disclaimer ahead of time. ]

If you think it'll work, though, I don't mind.

[Well, he'd be just fine not trying out anything else either, but there's no way he's gonna say that out loud.

Fortunately for Ryoko, Akira's sidestepping reading her thoughts for the time being, because if he went looking for an answer to unasked questions and found that she didn't like him the same way he's beginning to like her, he'd be pretty upset about it. It's a downside to his abilities he's never had to think about before.]


...Well, we can think about it next time. For now...

[He's not used to being thrown so off balance just by talking to someone. It's a little strange, caring this much about what someone else thinks of him.]

...For now, just stay there as long as you want.

[ She tips her head back again – without warning him, Ryoko, that's bad for his heart!! – so she can see his expression. ]

You're sure? If I'm here too long, your legs will end up falling alseep.

[ Or she will. Not that she tends to make a habit out of (willingly) napping during the day, out in the open, but if she's laid here on Akira's lap she wouldn't be surprised if she manages it. ]

[Jumpscare isn't the right word but he's definitely not expecting her to look up at him again. He averts his gaze somewhat, suddenly very interested in a leaf that's fallen onto Taroimo's shell.]

It's fine. It's not like I'll die.

[Though honestly if she stays here for too long he might end up falling asleep too. They are at one of his frequent napping spots.]
