Ugh, who cares about Valentine's Day?!

[...Apparently, Rin is sick of the Valentine's-related posts and has decided enough is enough. As the video starts, she immediately launches onto the offensive, her body language growing rather...energtic.]

Seriously, don't you people have anything better to worry about? I can glance at the news for two seconds and see story after story about how people want us rounded up and tagged like cattle, and you're sitting here prattling about dates! Am I the only one who sees how ridiculous this is?

[He understands her urgency, he really does. But at the same time, it makes him sad. He speaks quietly.]

A lot of us already lost five years to sleep while all of the friends we loved became adults. It's not a lot to ask for a chance to have some normal life for just this once.

[...Dammit. This kid looks like one of the younger students, and that makes his answer is a sucker punch to her. Rin's mouth snaps shut, and for a second, she even looks vaguely chagrined.]

...That's exactly why I'm angry! Something like that shouldn't be a lot to ask, but right now, it's still something we have to fight for.

[Watching her expression change a little makes him realize how down he's being. He pulls on a smile, though fake, trying to dispel the bad feelings.]

I guess you're right that one day, we might have to fight, but isn't that why this is important too? Making a good memory in the middle of rough times, so when we look back on it... We can remember it wasn't all bad.

[Rin lets out a puff of breath, and then...actually backs down, more or less.]

I guess so. I just can't imagine using my energy to think about something like that at a time like this.
