-The voice on the other end is quiet and nervous sounding. And while her English is good, it slips because of said nervousness. Still, she manages.-

I never had a fancy phone before coming to the school. It's kind of neat how connected it makes me feel. I can read stuff, hear stuff, see stuff, kind of catch a glimpse into the lives of people around me.

It's kind of like what I used to do anyways, just watching life from the outside looking in...

A-anyways, most people call me 'Shadow'. -'Kagerou; was the name her mother gave her... it didn't feel right having strangers use it.- I just got here a few days ago... It's nice to meet everyone...

It's just plain rude to ask things like that of someone you barely know!

[whosafraidofthe]

Well, it's a little better than I've been getting...

[And yet he will forever refuse to move out of the city.]

I guess I can't blame you for wanting to sleep outside. But just because you're used to something doesn't mean you can't do better.

[tofudog]

C'moooon, what're you afraid of!

[This sounds juicy! That was probably the worst thing to say if she was trying to discourage BB from following up on this.]

[blooming_resonance]

[Kagerou can't see it, but seeing the video does make Sakuya smile. It changes her tone of voice appropriately, at least.] No? Well... I hope you will feel comfortable enough to... do as such soon. Especially as you have said; there are others that are comfortable and happy with their... physically obvious mutations.

But still, take your time. No use... rushing anything.

Do we need to make any other... arrangements for you?

[soundandfurry]

I don't really think of this as 'better'...

[soundandfurry]

What button do I have to push to hang up on you!

[soundandfurry]

Well, no, but... Can we just hang out, anyways?

[whosafraidofthe]

Well, try it out for a few days. You might like how beds feel once you get used to them. If it still doesn't work for you, you might as well stay sleeping outside. As long as you stay close to the building.

[Thank you Mama Bigby.]

[blooming_resonance]

Hang out? [It's not that the term is unfamiliar to her, despite the sometimes questionable grasp on English she seems to have.]

Well, my office is open during all normal hours and... unless someone else is in there... you're free to come by at any time.

[soundandfurry]

... Will you tell Munroe-san and Xavier-san that? That I have your permission?

[soundandfurry]

Sorry if it sounds weird... I mean, I guess it's because I feel comfortable around you.

[yu_mad]

Sorry about that.

[He really is, even if his voice hasn't changed in the slightest.]

My name is Yu Narukami. Sorry for being so forward.

[blooming_resonance]

[She has that effect on people.]

I don't know that it sounds strange... but you are still, of course, welcome... whenever you may feel the need to come and see me in my office.

I would prefer if you not spend... all... your free time here, however. You need to make connections your own age, as well.

[soundandfurry]

Well... I guess I forgive you.

[soundandfurry]

Yeah yeah... I dunno, though. It's weird. I can't relate to some of these other kids.

[yu_mad]

I appreciate that. It's nice to meet you, Shadow.

[loveswaffles]

Most things are, if you're new to them.

[blooming_resonance]

It's alright if you don't... relate... to all of them. One does not necessarily need... a lot of friends to feel fulfilled.

Perhaps you'll come to like more of them in time.

[soundandfurry]

So... What are your favorite things to do on the internet?

[soundandfurry]

I guess... Anyways, what's your favorite thing to do on the internet.

[soundandfurry]

Maybe... We'll see, anyways. For now, I just wanna do what feels comfortable. Until I can get some confidence, I guess.

[tofudog]

Are you like, super weird looking?

[blooming_resonance]

That's... fair enough. [There's a little noise as Sakuya nods.]

As I said... you may come in any time... I'm not already speaking with someone else. [She pauses, then there's a little laugh, and the smile is evident in her voice.] I also spoke to the Gesshou Shrine. Something should be coming... soon.

[soundandfurry]

Stop it! Just stop it! -She sounds on the verge of tears. Way to break it, BB.-

[soundandfurry]

Oh! Oh oh! How exciting! I can hardly wait!
