...even if it's ordinary, can I hear a little about it? I don't know if you can tell me since I'm not on your team, but it's been a while since I've had an ordinary life, too.
[so hearing about something more normal would be interesting.]

Hm...[let him think. phones are, like, an incredibly new concept to him but he can sort of figure things out from context clues.] Like a line people can call for help with problems they have?
That's it. People call anonymously, and the person on the other end lends a listening ear and offers advice. I remember that I worked for one for about a year.
I like helping people, and seeing them overcome the obstacles in their life. The reason I changed jobs was to transfer to another department in the same company.
A different kind of helpline? Or was it something else? [even if this is super-normal he seems very pleased to be hearing this. maybe it's because fox likes helping people, or maybe it's just that fox is opening up a tiny bit. he'll take it.]
I think it's great...being able to help people like that. Especially when sometimes all they need is a really good listener.
Something else. A lot of it is confidential, so I'm afraid I can't give you the details... but think of the job as being assigned to someone as their full-time support for a period of time.

You're right. It's often difficult, trying to figure out what to say, but it's fulfilling.
Like a knight? Or a bodyguard? [no. not quite.] ...it sort of sounds like being somebody's friend for as long as they need you. I don't think that's so bad either.
[it's a nice thought, anyway. but it does raise another question.] If you're busy being someone's support, and you're helping all of us, who's your support?
Kinda thought so. [he tilts his head a bit as he thinks.]
I know you can take care of yourself, and I know you have a team to watch your back, but I want to support you, too. Didn't you just agree that sometimes people just need someone to listen? I think that also applies to you guys.
So even if it's not me...will you let some of us listen?
[he never quite knows how to handle things like that, so he laughs slightly and rubs the back of his head.]
If you say so. [listen he just wants to do his best.] But I mean it! So consider it even a little.
[there's a pause, like he's not sure he wants to ask because he's scared of backsliding or scaring fox off or upsetting them, but he chooses his words carefully.] ...you really do just want to help, don't you? That's why you asked the things that you asked.
[he's. heard by now that shima was aligned with fox, but he doesn't seem too fussed about it.]

No wonder you know how to deal with us. [haha.] You must've been good at it. Do you think you liked working there?

well. fox just stays quiet about that. their expression is blank, but can sora sense how much they hate talking about the shima thing. ]
no subject
...sorry. You don't have to answer that, I didn't mean to...[he just kind of sighs.] I didn't ask to see you just to ask those kinds of questions.

It's fine. I understand it's a popular topic.
