Private to Shiki; Voice

[scratchitti]

Hey, eh... can I talk to you for a sec?

I'm not her. I just . . . need to know you're asking me and not her.

[scratchitti]

Shiki, the one from my Shibuya, is really.... important to me. She was my first friend in a really long time. Hell, she saved me.

But... you're the person I've gotten to know here. Not her. I know you're not the same person. I'm NOT replacing her. Joshua was right, I was... a huge jerk when you first arrived...

[headseraph]

I'm used to it. Every version of you is kind of a jerk. [The amount of fondness in her voice when she says that it probably at odds with what she's saying.] And yes. I'll go out with you. Just don't tell Lalamon or I'll never hear the end of it.

[Neku makes a small excited noise, bitten back in his throat: a sound she might recognize from Blue when he won an especially rare Pin, but from this Neku the sound is almost foreign.]

A-alright. Cool. I'll.... see you at the dance, then?

[headseraph]

Unless you totally blow our first date. [She only manages to stay serious for a split second.] Just kidding. I'll be there no matter what.
