On the past?

I guess... that would make sense, since a past event really formed a lot for him, right? Since you are swords given human form, and that's what his human form took from his past...

[hasteful]

[he nods]

I know. And maybe it's different for me, who lacks much history to begin with so it can be hard to understand but...

When it gets in the way of your enjoyment of the future... I wonder if it's - too much?

[ she's quiet for a second. ]

Does he talk about it, at least? With you?

[hasteful]

[he shakes his head]

No.

He tries, sometimes... but it can get too painful. And I... sometimes don't know what the right thing to say to him is.

[pipa]

No, that's... hard, I guess.

[ there's a pause. ]

I'm not really good at that kind of thing either.

[he looks sheepish]

It's hard, right?

Well... I still think listening counts for a lot. So... thanks for listening, Yuyu-san.

[pipa]

Well... if you ever just want to chat about anything, I'm around.

Even if we don't end up figuring things out.

[he grins, easy-going as he bumps shoulders with her]

I don't expect anyone else to have all the answers - but it's nice to know there's someone willing to do the thinking and the choosing with me.

[pipa]

Hehe, it's one of the many reasons it's nice to have friends, isn't it? You can talk about the serious things and the not so serious things.

[ sometimes the latter more than the former ]
