胡桃 (casually): So like, I asked someone for their number today… and got rejected.

海棠 (raising an eyebrow): Don’t tell me you’re still randomly talking to strangers on the street even after coming to Japan.

胡桃: 😐 Uh… (stops reading, starts fidgeting) Well, nobody’s ever said no before, okay?


海棠 (deadpan): …Okay. Tell me what happened.
胡桃 (dramatic): So basically—
胡桃: That’s it! Who the hell still goes out without a phone these days!?

海棠 (exasperated): So what, you caught a new case of "I-need-to-fix-this-person" syndrome again?

胡桃: I’m not trying to fix anyone! I just wanted to make friends! That’s not nosy!

海棠: …
(從海棠耳機中傳出胡桃碎念)
> "Don’t leave the lights off while using your computer again. I bet the room’s a mess. And don’t forget to throw out the food delivery trash..."


(從胡桃耳機中傳出海棠回嘴): “Yes, Mom.”
胡桃 (sharply): Don’t call me that!! I’m just looking out for you!

(*brief truce; both go quiet for a moment*)

海棠 (sipping a drink): You had to pick someone difficult, huh? Maybe he just doesn’t want to be friends.

胡桃 (leans back in chair, arms crossed): But he didn’t say that. he even said i could come over again. That counts as wanting to be friends, right?

海棠: …Okay, then why are you bringing up the fact he didn’t give you his number?

胡桃: …I guess I was just surprised. No one’s ever turned me down before.
(從胡桃耳機傳出海棠聲音): “Oh please. You're a walking social butterfly. If you were here, I’d use my powers to make you punch yourself.”

胡桃 (camera zooms in, deadpan): …I wanna see what else he’ll do.
(*Kaidou’s voice again*): “…Sometimes you seriously creep me out.”

海棠 (snorts): Hah. I thought you wanted a hug or something after getting rejected.

胡桃 (sits up): Huh? Nah. I mean, of course he can say no. That’s his right. I totally respect his decision!
(*Kaidou, headset voice*): “And that’s exactly why you scare me sometimes…”

海棠: …Fine. Do what you want. Just let me know when he yells at you or punches you in the face.
(從海棠耳機傳出胡桃大叫): “That’s not gonna happen!”

(*both laugh briefly, then fall into silence, going back to their tasks*)

胡桃: So, did you take out the trash yet?

海棠: ...Fuck.
