The game where you desperately try to pry unnecessary information out of me.

[ino]

Well, if you would stop being so unnecessarily secretive, I wouldn't have to get all interrogator on you.

[mylegacy]

Well if you hadn't been nosy I probably would have told you independently in my own time. Probably tomorrow.

[ino]

I have a hard time believing that.

[mylegacy]

I made my friend cry today, Ino, so yes, I was going to wait until tomorrow.

[ino]

What!?

[ She still hasn't actually connected that this person is new, or from his world ]

[mylegacy]

I know, we're all shocked.

[Or you could like. Be informative. No? Sarcastic? All right, asshole.]

[ino]

I AM actually shocked! I know you can't see through the communicator but I am!

What happened?????

[mylegacy]

I told her I died.

[ino]

[ .... Oh. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize ...

Will both of you be alright?

[mylegacy]

Eventually. It was still awful.

He told you, didn't he?

[ino]

If either of you need anything, let me know, okay?

[ .............. well. Hmm. ]

I might have been crying about some stuff and it came up when he was trying to tell me how dumb I was being.

But I also kinda guessed from what you said and the way the two of you act.

[mylegacy]

I will. I told her to come see you anyway to figure out how to take care of the flowers. And that you're my friend.

How we act?

[ino]

[ Aww ... ]

Oh, so I will get to meet her? :)

Yeah. My boyfriend is also not going to make it where he comes from, and I'm not so sure about myself, either. So I know ... there's little things you do, that you might not otherwise. In a "let's make the most of this while we still can" kind of way.

[mylegacy]

Yes. You just need to be patient sometimes.

But that's not what I was doing when I got here. Not unless he made me.

[ino]

[ WOW ... RUDE ... ]

I can be very patient! I just didn't think it was for something so serious.

No, you were doing the opposite of that, which is why I was telling you to cut it out.

[mylegacy]

That doesn't make any sense. You could tell because of what I wasn't doing?

[ino]

Well, yeah. The first step is usually, "I shouldn't bother doing anything, there's no point because I'm a goner and I probably won't be here very long, so I'm just going to hold back and pretend like I have no feelings."

Then, we move on to step two, which is "Maybe I should take this chance while I have it and admit that I actually have a lot of feelings, and do everything I possibly can before time runs out."

[mylegacy]

So you think I'm at step two?

[ino]

I think Jojo is, and you go along with it.

[mylegacy]

Oh.

[Uh.]

Then where am I?

[ino]

Shouldn't you know that yourself?

[mylegacy]

I know where I think I am, but you always have an opinion about everything.

[ino]

Well, my opinion is that you're trying to be at step two, but you're naturally inclined to stay at step one.

[mylegacy]

[...........]

[Well. When she's right . . .]

Maybe.
