[coexistent]

Yeah! I dunno what it'll be like either, but if it's all of us together... it's gotta be fun, right?

[immobileyes]

Yeah... I hope so. Going to the beach was something you wanted to do with your best friends, right?

[coexistent]

Yeah... we said we'd do it the next time we had a day off.

[but that day never came.]

[immobileyes]

... And you only had one day off...

[ ROXAS... ]

[coexistent]

Mm... that's how it all happened.

[or rather, what happened, but whatever. minor details.]

[immobileyes]

Then it's even more important to get you there. I mean, it won't be the same, but...

[ Maybe it'll still be good? ]

[coexistent]

At least... one of us will get to see it, right?

[something like that. but still—]

I know it'll be fun anyway. Even if it's not with Axel and Xion... you're all my friends too, and that's what matters.

[immobileyes]

... Yeah. I'm going with different friends, but you're all still important.

[coexistent]

We'll just have to make it as fun as we can... for our friends who aren't here with us.

[immobileyes]

I still don't really know what you do at the beach, though... find seashells?

[coexistent]

Yeah...

I don't know what else though. Maybe Hiro knows...

[immobileyes]

I'll have to ask him. He seems to know a lot about this sort of thing!

[ HIRO'S SO COOL... ]

[coexistent]

Yeah... it's almost like he knows everything, right?

[immobileyes]

Almost. He's still trying to understand romance.

[ Even though he's dating Ruby. ]

[coexistent]

Well...

[huh.]

Doesn't he kind of get that stuff though?

[immobileyes]

I thought he did, but then he asked me for help.

[ Mary Kozakura, Love Doctor, can't even hint that she's got a crush on her roommate. ]

[coexistent]

...He did?

[roxas tilts his head. that's... not what he was expecting, honestly. not that mary is a bad person to go to for that sort of thing (probably? what does he know...), but he still doesn't expect to hear it.]

[immobileyes]

Yeah... that's why some of my manga is gone-- I let him borrow some of it to see if it would help. I guess he wants to try being more romantic?

[coexistent]

Oh... I hope it works for him, if that's what he's trying to do.

[??? he supports his friend's endeavors even if he doesn't understand them very well.]

[immobileyes]

I think it will! I know he really likes Ruby and I'm pretty sure she really likes him, and so it's mutual, and nothing can stop the power of two people who like each other! So I think it'll be okay.

[ SHE BELIEVES. ]

[coexistent]

It sounds like it... but if that's how it is, why does he need the manga?

[immobileyes]

... Maybe for ideas. You want to be perfect for things like this.

[coexistent]

Oh... I guess that makes sense. [and after a short pause:] I wonder if I'll ever get how this stuff is supposed to work.

[immobileyes]

Mm... [ there's a pause, and then she smiles at him. ]

Yeah, I think you will. When you fall for someone, you'll probably get it.

[coexistent]

Fall for someone...

[he... really doesn't know what to make of that statement, honestly. it's one of those things that goes over his head.]
