It's like. . . "Oh, you wanted to be constantly thirsty for a few days? Here you fucking go."

[ There's a bit of dry laughter there as she leans up against him a bit. ]

Hobbies, maybe? Some dumb icebreaker th I thing, I guess.

[Souji shifts his shoulder a little to make himself more comfortable to lean against. This is nice.]

I have a lot of hobbies. Basketball, kendo, kung fu... origami, reading manga, building models... fishing, petting cats, cooking... rescuing people?

How do you have time to manage all those hobbies?

[ Sorry if she sounds a bit incredulous, because she actually is. ]

Also I've read plenty of manga before, but my main hobby is using computers and programming.

Sometimes I don't sleep much.

Mm, that sounds interesting. I don't know much about computers, except the basics.

That's pretty unhealthy.

[ says the person who had issues sleeping due to worry and fear to the point where she was up until she eventually collapsed ]

Well, I like computers a lot and am planning in majoring in that sort of thing in about two years, so.

That's pretty impressive.

I was thinking of studying psychology.

Psychology's pretty difficult.

[ Inaba knows, as someone who's done analysis of people as a hobby of hers. ]

I really like learning about people, so.

Maybe, but you can't show biases when you're working that kind of job.

Actually, once I get the degree, I'm going to apply to work with the police. I want to help people understand and keep them safe... but not quite that way.

A policeman with a psych degree? That's... pretty different.

There are specialist jobs, at least in the big cities. Forensic psychology... using your understanding of how people think to help identify or analyze suspects and crimes.

I think I'd be good at it.

Ah, yeah. . . There is that sort of thing, isn't there? Not that it's my thing, even if analysis is a hobby of mine.

For you, too?

I used to like to just sit at the train station and watch people going about their days.

Yeah.

[ She doesn't say any more on it, since her reasons are pretty personal. She's always watched people because she was constantly afraid.

If she analyzed others she could power through.

That's how she worked. ]

Mm... maybe we should talk about something else.

... Sure.

[He bumps her ankle with his ankle, and leans back against her, not really even conscious of the gesture but taking comfort from the increased pressure.]

What would you like to talk about?

I don't know, I was never one for. . . conversation, I guess. You said you've been in a placed called 'Inaba', right? What's it like there?

It's a quiet little town near the edge of the Kansai region. They have a nice shrine, and the Samegawa River, and... good beefsteak? I'd never lived in a rural area before, so it was a nice change of pace.

Huh.

I've never really been to a rural area myself, either - the furthest I went out of my city was Hokkaido for our class trip.

Hokkaido's nice.

I lived in twelve different prefectures, but they were all big cities. My parents are economic inspectors, so.

Huh.

I'm from a pretty big city myself — have you ever been to Yokohama?

I've been through it - when my family lived in Tokyo we stopped there on the way to Kamakura. We never stayed overnight, though.

Yokohama's really nice. . .

[ She hums a little, shifting to get herself more comfortable. ]

Just like this.

This is nice.

[There's just the slightest teasing tone to his voice.]

I'm enjoying getting to know you better.

[That's said seriously again.]

It is, but it's also. . .

[ Her words trail off. It isn't enough. ]

Same here. I think I understand you a lot better now, for sure
