[ as before, goat appears into the room! hello, child. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ There they are. Even mentally preparing himself doesn't keep Kano from jumping slightly when Goat just shows up. ]

Heya, Goat! Still able to space hop, huh? That's good, right? Means you haven't lost everybody yet?

[retellers]

If you call for me, I must answer. The Realm likely believed it would be counterproductive to force me to break that rule.

[suddenlybees]

Ehh, guess you got that going for you, though. I was more asking, 'cause, like... with me and Raven and Laine, you know...

[ Being dead? Isn't that bad? That sounds very bad, for Goat particularly. ]

[retellers]

No one has expressed a desire to kill me yet... so do not worry.

[suddenlybees]

Goat... Take it from me. People don't kill people they hate, they kill people they don't know.

[ If they were forced to kill, at least, it should be like this. Easy targets aren't taken for granted ]

Have you been making lots and lots of friends?

[retellers]

Everyone has been very kind to me.

[ disclaimer: goat was saying that even when kano was bullying them, so. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ I'm crying, Goat is like Mob who Kano gently bullies and they go "Wow, Kano is so kind" ]

Yep, they're all real kind people! But have you been making friends?

[retellers]

[ they like kano ): even if kano made them feel terrible about themselves every other thread ]

I think so... At least one person has called me their friend.

[suddenlybees]

[ stop!! he tried to be kinder every OTHER other thread ): ]

That's good, that's good~ One less person who will maybe kill you! Was it Xie Lian?

[retellers]

Oh... no, it wasn't him, but he is my friend as well.

[suddenlybees]

Aw, good for you. Then, Sora?

[retellers]

I don't know how Sora feels about me.

[suddenlybees]

Have you two spent at least two minutes together? Sora thinks you guys are friends, definitely.

[retellers]

Oh. Then I suppose we're friends as well.

[suddenlybees]

Look at you, having made at least three friends already! I'm kinda jealous, you know? You outstripped me already!

[retellers]

[ ): ]

I hope you can make friends with others here...

[suddenlybees]

Huh? Why? I already got two at home, sort of. Anyways, it's more important for you than it is for me.

[retellers]

I'm glad that you have friends at home, at least... [ they tilt their head. ] Is it?

[suddenlybees]

It is! It's so you can make good happy memories, you know? You still exist out there, with everybody, so no matter what life throws at you, you gotta do your best to make it all worth it. And friends help with that, see?

[ power of friendship, nods ]

[retellers]

[ they're quiet for a bit, as if thinking--or remembering?--something. ]

... Yes. Friends must be a nice thing to have, when they come along.

[suddenlybees]

...You should know, right? You have them.

[retellers]

... Yes. You are right. I will do my best to believe in them, then, and make happy memories...

[suddenlybees]

... You don't sound so convinced.

[retellers]

It's nothing.
