I NEVER WANT TO BE

[teaserving]

now i'm seriously worried about your taste in friends but that's your business
i talked to rohan like once before
and josuke barged into my dressing room while we were trying on clothes

[doreimi]

I know they can be sort of hard to get along with. You don't have to be nice to either of them or anything.

I just wanted you to know they're important to me. They care about me like you do.

[teaserving]

i dont really know either of them that well
but that's all that's important
is that they take good care of you

i guess i could be less of a dick to them

[doreimi]

Josuke got hurt fighting for me. And Rohan would never let anyone hurt me.

I didn't send this message because I was trying to tell you what to do or what to think. I guess I just wanted you to know that you have that much in common, at least.

[teaserving]

i figured that's what you meant
and i wouldn't change anything if i didn't want to
but if they're important to you i'll try to be more patient that's my choice

[doreimi]

I know. They really are...they're really important to me.

And I wanted to tell you something else.

If the guy who killed me ever does come here, trust Rohan. Josuke too, but. Trust Rohan.

[teaserving]

okay.
i will. you have my word.

[doreimi]

Thanks, Abbacchio.

You guys both have something else in common, you know. You both make me feel safe.

[teaserving]

well
good.

i dont always do a lot of things right
but i want you to not be afraid
and it's good you have other people to rely on too
i mean that

[doreimi]

Do you ever feel like

Maybe this is weird, I don't know.

But do you ever feel so much about someone that it starts to feel like you'll burst from it, a little? Not specifically good or bad or anything like that, but just...a lot?

[teaserving]

yeah
yeah i do

[doreimi]

That's Rohan, for me.

[teaserving]

i see
he cares a lot about you
that much i can see

[doreimi]

Yeah. He's not controlling or anything, he just worries a lot. He comes to walk me home from my shift at work a lot of the time, especially when it's in the middle of the night.

Last Cordis he was going to stay in his apartment the whole time, but when it sounded like I wanted to go out, he said right away that he would go with me.

[teaserving]

i'm glad he's reliable for you
that's good enough for me

what's your history anyway?

[doreimi]

...

Promise me you won't tell anyone? Not ever. Not even...not even Bruno, or, or anyone.

[teaserving]

yeah.
even if bruno asks me, i won't say anything

[doreimi]

remember when i said i died saving someone

[teaserving]

yeah?

[doreimi]

he's the one i died for

[teaserving]

he was the kid you were babysitting

[doreimi]

he lived down the street from me.

he wasn't supposed to be in our house that night, it was a last-minute thing. he was sleeping downstairs and not in one of the bedrooms, that's why my killer missed him, i think. but i knew he was there. and he only said "i already killed your parents". he didn't mention rohan.

i pushed him out of the window and into the bushes. i was going to go out after him but then i heard my killer in the hallway outside the den and i knew if i tried to go out he'd see me in the middle of climbing out, and then he'd kill both of us.

so i shut the window and made it look like i couldn't get it open in time.

[teaserving]

reimi

are you home right now?

[doreimi]

yeah. me and arnold.

[teaserving]

can i come over?
