[ENTRY FROM: Kaito Watari(?)] [Time: 1:50AM]

[raiiiiiiinbooooow]

Good evening, Hinoto-Ri.

Thankfully, Kaito is sound asleep, allowing me to speak with you like this.

I am sure he will not mind my intrusion.

I very much want to get to know all of you, however, I have been unable to, until now.

So, I will have to make up for lost time.



How are you?

I don't understand that sort of 'awkward'

Isn't romance about happiness?

Waiting in silence to know someone's feelings seems sadder than asking and then knowing the truth

Perhaps I am still naive about these things

I am not able to fall in love, after all

[hetried]

Well, when you put it that way, I guess it doesn't make a lot of sense.

But I think for some people, being in doubt about the answer might be better than confirming the worst option?

Plus they don't want to make someone else feel bad if it turns out it's unreciprocated. It could end up ruining a friendship you care a lot about.

[raiiiiiiinbooooow]

Oh

Would someone truly be upset by not reciprocating someone else's deeper feelings?

[hetried]

Sure? I don't know how upset, but I'd feel kind of like a jerk if someone liked me and I had to tell them I didn't like them back.

It's like if a distant relative comes to visit for the Holidays and they're really excited to see you, but you feel bad because you don't remember them since the last time you saw them was when you were really little. Sort of.

[raiiiiiiinbooooow]

I think I might know how that feels, in a way

I knew the other Septentriones, but had not truly met them since our creation

Is that close?

[Alcor "He Also Tries" Polarison.]

[hetried]

Uh...sure? I guess that's sort of close...

[he actually has no idea at all if that's close or not]

[raiiiiiiinbooooow]

Thank you, Daichi

You have been a big help

I do not wish to inconvenience Kaito with these things

So it is better to know them now than to have a faux pas later

[hetried]

Uh, no problem! Happy to help I guess? I'm not sure how sound my advice is on these kind of things, all things considered.

[raiiiiiiinbooooow]

You do not give yourself enough credit

You are much wiser and stronger than you realize

However, I suppose that is how you can be so- by not being aware of the depths of your own will

[hetried]

Huh? What will?

I mean, I guess I was able to survive the Septentriones, but that was mostly thanks to your Demon Summoning program and JP's and the others. I'm not exactly an ocean.

[raiiiiiiinbooooow]

Why would you be an ocean?

I have seen your successes, Daichi

Those times that Kaito chose your path, everyone survived with their hearts and minds intact

The world's scar healed, and even rebuilt the world you all came from

It may not be my place to say it, but

Those paths may have been the more ideal ones

[hetried]

What? My path?

[You mean he had an ending path???]

But I didn't even have a plan! All I wanted was to find a better solution, but I didn't actually have any idea what I was doing! There's no way I would've have figured out to make you the new administrator on my own.

[raiiiiiiinbooooow]

Your path was different from mine, and from Yamato's and Ronaldo's

Our reasons for being were all very different, even if much of the same message was expressed in all of them

Perhaps one day I can find a way to prove it to you
