That's just the plot-excuse to cover for you until you realize you're friends.

[nodo]

[ ???? aoi??? ]

We're not going to be friends.

[gamerbrain]

Got it.

[ does she, though? ]

[nodo]

[ he has. many doubts. ]

...do you?

[gamerbrain]

Mm. You haven't finished your character development yet.

[nodo]

[ STOP. THE META. ]

...that's fine with me.

[ is it though? ]

[gamerbrain]

[ her reading is probably way off base so it's fine! ]

That's something who hasn't finished their character development yet would say.

[nodo]

[ sighs ]

And where are you in your character development?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi is the kind of character you get to know, not the kind of character that changes.

[nodo]

[ npc. if only he knew what an npc was.... ]

You're fine with that?

[gamerbrain]

... Yep.

[ that was a suspicious pause but it's. fine. ]

[nodo]

[ ......


... ]

Why were you talking about dishes earlier?

[gamerbrain]

[ she looks away. ]

Boop boop... No reason...

[nodo]

I think there is a reason.

[ he's not challenging her but...you know. ]

[gamerbrain]

There's not.

[nodo]

[ ......

law is not. the person for this. not even remotely. ]

Right.

[gamerbrain]

Boop boop boop...

[ she looks away again... and... it's memory time! law can have... literally the opening song to her canon! like watching it in a screen. it's from 28:40 to 30:00. wow, enjoy. ]

[nodo]

[ .........??

i'm impressed. law, a man who has seen a lot, is kind of unsure what to say here? it's offensive but he just...doesn't know what to make of it? ]

Were those other people your friends?

[ since that's what she assumed about him. ]

[gamerbrain]

... Not yet.

[nodo]

What? Later in your story you'll be friends or something?

[ just. by going from what she was talking to him about and...other weirdness.... ]

[gamerbrain]

Yep. Aoi didn't get to that part, yet.

[nodo]

...and how do you know that for sure?

[ this man is tired... ]

[gamerbrain]

Aoi played the game. Aoi knows what the game was going to be.

But Aoi came here, before it happened.

[nodo]

You played the game...

[ law doesn't even know what to do with this but there is something he does sort of know? ]

Hey, last time I had you do something for me, didn't I? Ask something from me.

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods and holds up her smartphone. ]

Aoi played the game.

[ but as for a request... she has to think about it for a long moment... and then perks up! ]

... Dishes!
