[ 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.

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano gets to keep his items, right? He presents the IOU that Goat signed once upon a time. ]

[retellers]

[ he does! goat takes it, albeit with a blank look.

? ]

[suddenlybees]

You owe me. Spill the beans. Figuratively.

[retellers]

Spill beans...?

[suddenlybees]

The beans are your thoughts and they spill out of your mouth and basically I want to know everything that's on your mind? It's no good holding them in, you know? The beans start to overflow and you don't want beans rattling around in your head.

[retellers]

... There are beans in my head...?

[ KANO IS CONFUSING THEM ]

[suddenlybees]

[ cries, the beans! are your thoughts! ]

Yeah. Give your head a little shake, can you hear them rattle?
