I think they're getting worse. But that's not really relevant right now, I suppose.
[If it was Eichi who signed off on Gatekeeper's involvement with SS, well. Thanks for that whole mess???]
It comes with being the future head of the Suous, I assume. He'll be in that role someday, so he strives to keep his head up high. Not that *I'd* know anything about being the heir. But he is your junior, so if he wants to be listened to, he'll just have to work hard to command respect!
[Though he doesn't envy him. Tsukasa's unitmates don't seem like well-behaved (albeit cheeky) good boys like Jun-kun!]
yeah, you get it! besides, any member of knights can request a battle if we wanna. ♪ the king has a lot of say but it's not like we can't challenge that.
Now that appeals to me less. I don't like fighting, especially with people who should be as close as family. So, I give my okay when I like something, and when I don't like it, I say "No chance!" And that works out well for the most part. Or at least it does now, since Nagisa-kun and I understand each other's hearts better, and Jun-kun always falls in line as my underling!
i like how it is in knights! but that's why there's so many different units. once we were only individuals and we still retain a lot of that freedom, so our ideals and opinions can be pretty different. arguing with those guys doesn't feel all that bad or dangerous these days. i like seeing them get all passionate as they carve their hearts out to share, and i like when we find the place between us where we all agree.
Well, that makes sense, I suppose. All families are different! Even if you disagree, what's important is that you always come back together in the end.
Which is exactly why we mustn't give up hope. Our families, fans, and units are all waiting for us back home! So let's keep our skills sharp for their sake. That way, when a hero comes along and save the day, we'll be ready to jump right back into things.
You prefer writing music to performing it, then? That almost makes it sound like you're in the wrong industry. But as long as you can keep up, that's fine, I suppose. We all have our preferences.
Fortunately, I'm not one for nagging! I'm more the fun-loving type, so we shouldn't have any problems. Just perform up to standard, and everything will be just fine 😊
well, they're alike in that they like to fuss about people...but in other ways, there's a lot of differences. i mean, he'll generally give in to whatever i want if i really throw a fit, but i'll agree to pretty much whatever sena says, so i guess maybe i'm nami in that situation?
I think Jun-kun gets a bit restless if he doesn't have someone to look after. I noticed that when we got put in separate rooms at Seishoukan. He was always asking, "Did you get up for work on time?" and other things like that. Which was just silly of him, since I'm completely self-sufficient! I just prefer to have other people do chores and such, that's all!
But he's also attentive and kind. And I suppose looking after others helps give him a sense of purpose. So... maybe he is like Sena-kun? But I haven't really spoken to him much, so I can't confirm or deny it! And Sena-kun always seemed more like the prickly type. Jun-kun's not so prickly nowadays.
sena's mostly all bark and no bite! he gets all worried if he thinks he actually hits a nerve. but he can't stop saying things anyway~ and he's always being cold. well, i do love that about Sena a lot ☆ and maybe it's the world naturally protecting itself? his smile can be pretty devastating, after all.
i get the feeling nami and sena are both kind guys at their core but cover it up with other stuff, either on purpose or not. nami's all rough around the edges in some ways, but he's never been anything but considerate and helpful around me. ♪
[ @ Tsukinaga Leo maybe just stop causing problems for people tho ]
I'm not sure what you mean by a devastating smile. Do you mean devastatingly good-looking? 😘 But I do understand the rest of what you mean. It's true, some people are like that: the types who hide how much they care! Or the types who are too clumsy to show what a good heart they have.
I'm glad you appreciate Jun-kun's heart, though. He's quite sweet-seeming now, but he used to come across a bit differently. For example, he didn't smile as much. I'm not going to get into why that was, and even I can't claim to understand him perfectly. I do know Reimei was a harsh environment, though, especially for someone like him. And now we're in this place, with its own "ranking" system designed to spread jealousy and resentment, so that's rather unfortunate.
I'm sure he'll pull through, though. A because he's resilient, and B because he has me to watch over him!
i mean devastating devastating! as long as he's smiling i don't care about the rest of it. haven't you ever seen something that sparked your heart so hard you wanted to see it again and again and again and again and again until the end of all your agains? you know, he smiled at me a lot when we were younger even though he'd probably deny it. and when he stopped i was willing to do anything at all he wanted if he'd start again.
maybe it's a devastating that's only devastating to me?
each of those smiles, sena and naru and rittsu and suo, they're the most beautiful and luminous of jewels. the sharpest of weapons. dunno how anyone else protects themselves against all that, but it's probably because i'm weak to them.
i don't know a whole lot about reimei, but basically every one of our schools kinda sucked, right? i can't say i care much about my rank here. it's nice to have a high one so you guys can use my room though! ♪
[Now that he didn't expect. Right, there's definitely more than hot air inside Leo-kun's head. And he has a surprisingly soft heart, doesn't he? Comparing every one of his unitmates to dazzling jewels...
Though there's one he's especially attached to, isn't there?]
For someone who has trouble with song lyrics, you sure write some poetic lines.
[To the point of corniness. And yet Hiyori doesn't dislike that part of him.]
I get what you mean now. You're using the word differently than I would.I just don't think of smiles as being devastating. Not every smile is pure and worth treasuring, I suppose. Some people smile like villains. But it's more devastating to me to think of someone losing the ability to smile.
[...]
You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?
For that lovely smile to be lost, that is.
[For that person to see "love" as something transactional. For them to be approached by someone who says sweet words to them, and for them to wonder first and foremost what it is that person wants: money, status, a "card," or something else like that. You can't trust anyone because everyone kisses up, and none of it really means anything.]
[ It's fun getting to know people you don't talk to a whole lot, right? ...Well, Leo thinks so. He's having a lot of fun chatting with Hiyo and Nami and Rinne. But then again he'd like pretty much anyone from home. He's even forgiven Eichi to some degree, though he's still wary from time to time. The only person he "dislikes" is, stupidly, Makoto Yuuki who did Nothing Wrong and does not even Want Sena's attention, so like, lol. Save him from Knights. ]
well, of course i don't want any smiles to be lost! even i understand that as an idol the goal is to make people smile, not break those smiles! whether it's a smile i love or a smile that hurts me...i'll accept all of them, and i'll fight for them.
i think the only smile i don't wanna see is the kind that hurts the person making that expression. well, everyone smiles like that sometimes, eventually - but it always makes me wanna grab their hand and tell them it'll be okay. ♪ i guess i'm nosy like that!
anyway, hiyo, that kind of sounded like a villain speech in the last two lines. like you were gonna take the smiles away yourself! let's not replay the era where i kept fighting you guys trying to knock that smile off tenshi's dumb face. ♪ thinking about it makes me wanna make a million more weapons to throw at him next time we meet up!
[Imagine letting petty jealousy cloud your judgement. Couldn't be Hiyori!]
Nope, no interest in any of that. Except for the part where you throw weapons at Eichi-kun, since that sounds entertaining.
You don't need to worry about me. I'm not the enemy you should be sharpening your sword for. I'd like to protect that precious smile like the one you described.
And all my fans' smiles, of course. Which is why I'm so determined to get back to them! But also to do right by them, which means none of this 52 business. We can each take different routes and see who gets out first, I suppose. And whoever it is can simply hold the door open for the rest of us. How does that sound?
Yep, that's the spirit 😊✨ Any one of us would be a devastating loss for ES. And we're bound to accomplish more if we work together, so let's each do our best.
[In a hypothetical event where only one of them can leave, there's no question who Hiyori's pushing through that doorway. Hokuto was right about him. But that's purely hypothetical, and his bigger concern is that none of them will be allowed to leave.]
