[ Haha. Yeah. Processing stuff. ]

... Yeah. It's starting to be too much.

[westedge]

[ he flicks a little ash off the end of his cigarette. ]

...don't get too caught up in stuff, Mizuki. There's a lot of things that happen here that you shouldn't have to worry about unless you really want to.

[adorabrawler]

Is that really okay, though? To just... ignore things?

[westedge]

I think you're really the only one who can decide that for yourself. Does it matter what other people think when you're the one who has to live with how you feel about things?

[adorabrawler]

... I'd say that depends.

[westedge]

On what? [ he doesn't disagree. he's just curious about her opinion. ]

[adorabrawler]

Well, if I'm doing something everyone disapproves of, it doesn't matter what I think. I might still be wrong.

[westedge]

That's a very different situation. I mean the kind where people are split on what to do, not the ones where most people agree without question.

[adorabrawler]

... Well, I don't know. Honestly, a part of me thinks you're only saying it's okay because I'm just a kid.

[westedge]

No, I'd say the same to Kazuki. Or Alex. Or Setsu. [ there's a sigh. ] None of us are really qualified for any of this. We shouldn't have to just pretend that all of this is easy to accept and we're used to it. Or that everybody handles it the same way.

[adorabrawler]

No, but... Ignoring it doesn't feel right either, even if it sucks.

[westedge]

I'm not going to tell you what to do. I trust you to make whatever decision you need for yourself is all I'm saying.
