[raises both eyebrows at him, like she's waiting for an actual answer and not just a response that is the equivalent of "eeeew, feelings are like cooties."]

[insincerely]

...

[He can't see her raise her eyebrows, so as far as he knows, they're both just standing here in silence!!]

[thatsthespirit]

[I SAW THAT]

[it's Milla who finally breaks the silence]

That's a surprisingly lighthearted response for such a serious topic.

[insincerely]

[YOU SAW NOTHING]

Was it a serious topic?

[thatsthespirit]

Yes, but I imagine it's difficult to tell with the tone of voice you keep using.

[she thinks she's starting to really understand this sort of approach to dealing with negative feelings]

[there's a hint of a wry smile in her voice when she speaks]

. . . but if this is how you choose to keep yourself strong enough to move forward, then I suppose I'm not in a position to judge you.

[insincerely]

I'll have you know that I'm naturally this way, thank you. But if that's the case, then please stop spouting your crap, and tell Percy the same.

[thatsthespirit]

I don't have any control over Percy's actions.

[she says a bit lightly]

And you also can't control when people worry about you, Shinnosuke.

[insincerely]

They shouldn't. It's unproductive.

[And Shinnosuke's entire policy on emotions is "if it's not needed, then get rid of it."]

[thatsthespirit]

You're right, it is.

[ha]

But not all emotions are. . . productive. Or even logical.

[ALSO DAMN IT JAN!!!!]

[insincerely]

Then they're idiots. Simple as that.

[ :') ]

[thatsthespirit]

It isn't that simple, no. If there's anything I've learned. . .

[it's that nothing is that simple]
