TFLN HIT THE MAX SO YOU'RE HERE.

You realize those kinds of arguments beg for the contrary, right? You're just asking to get challenged.

That doesn't surprise me. There's people that always see how things can be better. Or just better sounding enough to make sure people buy it.
It makes me wonder how this game really compares with the one you played.
Sometimes new and improved doesn't mean better at all.

We’re getting on this topic and I’m sure I saw a total of three instances today people nearly colliding with each other because they were having their nose in their phones.
Can’t help but agree.

Being too focused on your phone while moving is just asking for trouble.

I have evidence. I moved one pizza box not two hours ago.
[ What a neat freak! ]

My mistake. I also noticed your dirty socks moved an inch since the last time. I forgot to tell you.

Just moving it that far tuckered me out. That was all the energy I could use on cleaning that day.

Now you’re just competing laziness with me.
[He wouldn’t have too long to wait for her, because she was sending him a call right now. It was time to act, take a step forward, be proactive in her relationships.]
[ He picks up immediately, barely looking at the caller id. ]
I'm okay. I'm entering the station now. I'm sorry for worrying you.
[ His first thoughts are of comforting someone else even when he's a little shaken himself. ]

[Daria’s tone was always flat so it was easy to see any stark differences in how they handle themselves. Though it was tricky because the idea of a friend being in a bad situation sent her in enough of a tizzy that she reacted quickly on that reflex. Any person could remark on her truly looking like she cared despite her demeanor. At her current state, yeah, she did. Screw off.]
You’re alive and not dead. From how you were acting, it seemed like that was up in the air.

Don't know why it has to be a competition. By our powers combined, we could make one functional teenager.

[Thank god they were texting, because she actually was laughing on her end. Jughead, why were you like this. Why. She’s being slain.]
A fifth.
A fifth.
It was chaotic. Even with my coworkers being jerks, they wouldn't have sent me alone into that knowingly.
[ Who has ever heard of a hotel party taking over an entire floor?! ]
[ Who has ever heard of a hotel party taking over an entire floor?! ]
“Chaotic” is hardly a word I would use.
[She sounded a bit firm here, but only out of pure concern. But to the naked ear, it might’ve almost sounded like a mother scolding. Which wasn’t the mood she was going for, but her heart felt a bit exasperated.]
Maybe they didn’t do it knowingly but I wouldn’t put it passed anyone to not being particularly careful about your wellbeing.

[ There are the clear sounds of Sasuke going through turnstiles into the station. ]
Maybe... as much as they mess with me, I can't shake this feeling that they're actually good people. Is that messed up of me?
[ But then Yukimura comes in swinging and wins them over shounen style by fighting Saizo and unmasking Kotaro. Kotaro wtf were you doing at the cafe when you work at one in the Hojo family?
And they also soon become ninja friends. ]

I can't claim I know exactly what your job is like other than these scouting missions you do.
[But she was naturally distrusting of people so...]
That depends if they actually give a damn about you. Do you think they do?
[She just had to ask the right questions now. But she knew better than to prod on information, just let Sasuke naturally go on.]

I don't... I don't like going on gut feelings and instinct without having something concrete to go off of. Facts and sources are important for any good reporter.
[ But then Sasuke sighs. It's heavy, and Daria might even be able to imagine his shoulders dropping and his head hanging down. ]
... But when I get this feeling so strongly, I have to pay attention to it. I feel like I know who they really are, but there's this wall between us that keeps us from seeing the full picture. Damn it, I must sound like I'm losing it.

No, losing it would mean you’d probably come up with half of that. That’s even if I were able to speak to you right now.
[Sasuke would hear a door opening.]
So you have some options. If you’re so intent on following your gut on this then it sounds like you need to start genuinely figuring it out. Maybe it’s about time you fought to find those answers, because faith alone isn’t going to cut it.
By your own admission just now.

I'll pay close attention to their reactions when I tell them about tonight. I think that will tell me what I need to know about what kind of people they really are.
[ Daria is absolutely right. He can't keep doing his best and waiting for them to change because he's proven himself. He's not sure what he'll do if their reactions show that they aren't the people he hopes them to be. Start looking for a new job? ]

That’s a start.
[...Sasuke was a cool guy. She didn’t mind taking these things out with him in the slightest. He seemed to listen. That was so nice.]
At least then it’s for your benefit.

[ It's a sign of how far he's come and how much he values her advice. He doesn't give out that kind of trust out easily. ]
Yeah, I'll get an answer one way or the other.

Public image is a hell of a thing. It's easier to for them to sell a "fair princess" than a "moderately okay looking princess". If you don't fit their image of how you should look, we have computers to "fix" it.
And Quinn has fallen into the belief that only her appearance is her best quality, so I do not mind offering my help, but she called me 10 times during private opera lessons.
