If she doesn’t want to spend time with me, would you still come?

I’ve never had friends to watch movies with before.

But I’d do my best to do it properly! I learn fast!

[loveedition]

It's not like it's complex... but, sure I would. I'd be sad, but I'm not going to push her if she didn't want to go.

Oh, did you have a kind of movie in mind?

[spacialeyes]

It would, huh..?

But if we can make memories together too, I'd be happy.

Oh! And I have 4? One about a training witch, the sky castle movie, the spirit bath one, and the walking castle movie! Inaba said she's seen them, but she'd watch them again!

[loveedition]

Hmmm. I know she wasn't a big fan of romance movies or anything. Plus, she was kinda unhappy about dealing with that stuff around this time of year.

But those should be fine? They're not really a focal point if I remember... I know Nagato-san really liked the sky castle movie, and it's been a while since I've seen any of them.

[spacialeyes]

Even I'm not stupid enough to ask my ex to watch romance movies with me.

Nagato-san is one of your friends, right? From which world, if I may ask?

[loveedition]

Oh. She's my best friend from my home.

I mean, my actual home. Before I made my wish. She's the one my wish was about. Anyway... I didn't think you would, but that'd be kind of awkward anyway.

Asking your ex and a girl you talk about loving all the time to the same place to watch lovey-dovey stuff might end up with someone getting hurt.

Physically, I mean.

[ And that'd probably be Yuuto. ]

[spacialeyes]

Wha-

Wait, I want to know more about Nagato-san too, but

What do you mean? Is this a bad idea?

Am I the problem again?

Should I not say that I love you around Inaba?

[loveedition]

Absolutely not. You do and the rest of my stories get locked away for good.

It's a good idea, I'm more than happy to help or host or anything, let's just try not to make it awkward, please.

[spacialeyes]

What if I say it on accident?

I'm not ashamed to love you. I don't want to act like it's a bad thing??

Can I still 'like' you?

[loveedition]

Think of it this way.

It's like inviting the person you broke up with to hang out and introducing them and forcing them to be around your new partner.

I can remind you? I mean... you said that it's possible to love someone without saying it proper.

[spacialeyes]

I'd be happy for Inaba if I met someone she loved more than me, right?

[Right?? He likes to pretend that he's over this.

But he also wants to understand Ryoko, so lets the example linger until, with no context:]

So it would be like if my ex brought Satou-san to a party.

That does suck.

[loveedition]

Something like that?

...

Wait. Huh?

[spacialeyes]

When you realize you don't like me either, Ryoko,

please don't pick Satou-san.

[loveedition]

I.

I have so many questions right now, but also, shush. I'm not going to stop liking you. As a friend.

I'd like to be friends with Satou-san too, but not as a replacement for you??

[spacialeyes]

[He knows better than to type 'you will.' Instead, he distracts them both???]

my first lover was actually in love with [... it's too painful to type.]

so movies

let's watch movies.

Inaba doesn't want to go to a hotel, so is the Shrine of Love okay?

[loveedition]

[ List of things instantly filed away for later: Nagato-san, Yuuto's first lover, drilling her friendship into his head, asking why did he suggest a hotel. ]

I don't have a problem with that. Is that okay with her?

[spacialeyes]

As long as no one interrupts us, yes!

And I don't know where else we could go.

A lot of the shrine is unused, so I can get us a private space to relax in.

[loveedition]

[ .......... ]

Is it like a hotel.

[spacialeyes]

WHY IS A HOTEL SO BAD?

aren't they awesome?

They have cozy beds and lots of pillows and a water kettle and free tea bags!

And the shower has free shampoo!

also the fridge is so cute!

[loveedition]

[ ...he sure knows a lot about hotels. Which. Makes her curious. ]

Who was the last person you went to a hotel with?

[spacialeyes]

It could be you and Inaba~?

[loveedition]

Last person.

Who.

[spacialeyes]

Akutagawa?

But we only did that because

reasons.

[loveedition]

Now. Think really hard about this question.

Would you want him to know you took Inaba-san and I to a hotel?

Actually, I have a better question.

If you think about those reasons, how do you think Aisaka-san would react to hearing that you took me to a hotel?

[spacialeyes]

I would never keep a secret from him, no!

Wait.

Do you associate hotels with

and not with the cute mini'fridge?
