We can take care of her garden. It's the least we can do, right?

[bookoverflowers]

Yeah. I told her I would, but Makino knows more.

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

Isn't that kind of funny? "The tough weed Tsukushi" helping Hanazawa Rui of the Flower Four with a flower garden?

[pfffft I am so clever and my lame joke is so funny and... totally inappropriate, wait D:]

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

I-I'm sorry, that was a stupid thing to say.

[bookoverflowers]

[laughs a little]

It's fine. Makino is Makino.

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

[laughs along]

I guess I'm not as good at this as you are, huh?

[bookoverflowers]

[petting her hair]

Wouldn't say that.

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

[standing up and stretching a little bit]

We could go visit the garden now, if you want.

[bookoverflowers]

[standing too]

All right.

And if you want to talk about Aeris on the way, I'm a good listener.

[bookoverflowers]

Better than I am at talking.

...

I think she was my only friend here, besides Nogami.

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

[nods sympathetically]

But she'd probably want you to make some new friends, right? She seemed really kind like that.

[bookoverflowers]

Probably. But she understood. I don't think there are many people here like that.

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

Mm... I think I understand that outlook a little...

[bookoverflowers]

Mm?

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

[keywords .__.]

I-I mean, I'm trying to see it from your point of view.

[bookoverflowers]

What do you see?

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

That Aeris was really important to you and her leaving... it's not something that just making new friends can fix, even if that's what she wanted?

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

... I just repeated what you said, didn't I.

[bookoverflowers]

You used more words.

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's better if I just stop talking and do more listening, huh?

[bookoverflowers]

[shakes head]

You should just be Makino.

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

I think you should do more talking anyway, though. At least it always helped me feel better.

[bookoverflowers]

I guess it does.

...

Do you ever start doing things for one reason and end up doing them for another?

[weedoverflowers.livejournal.com]

Me? I don't know... once in awhile, I guess. Do you?
