6th Dango ( ' ' ) [Written/Action]

[Ever since Seto returned, Nagisa has been feeling rather down. ..Not because he's here, of course. She's happy he's here! What she isn't happy about, however, is what she had found out on that day though. Things that she just didn't remember from her childhood, which she's now aware of, and doesn't want to be. Or rather, she just wishes such a thing never happened, really. Like her getting sick as a child, which... isn't anything new for her, but the fact that she had nearly died once during one of those illnesses. And how because of that, her parents had to give up their jobs and dreams just so that they could take care of her.

...That's just not fair.

It's not fair that they had to give up on their goals just for her. It's... all her fault, really. And above all else, neither of her parents are here for her to talk to about this. She can't apologize or anything.]

[So after some thought, she decides to make a journal entry, asking something along those lines. She doesn't feel up to actually speaking aloud about this though. She'd just start crying, really. So instead, she writes it out.]

...Has anyone ever had to give up their own dreams for the sake of someone else?

[Moping around or not, food is kinda necessary in the house, so Nagisa can be found later around the plaza. First she'll go to the playground and sit around on the swings (though not.. actually swinging), and then she'll head on over to the grocery store and straight back home. She's a little out of it though, so she may just bump into someone. Oops.]

[She nods to the first part, and then solemnly shakes her head to the last.]

..I-I don't think so... They gave up their dreams just for me, s-so... [It's her fault. Completely her fault.]

[He'll be getting up from the swing now and walks up to her.]

You're wrong. They did exactly what any sane parents would've done. If they lose a job, that's no big deal. But if they lost you, then that's something that can't take back.

[Didn't Hijiri sacrfice herself just to make sure he would survive that incident? He still remembers that all too clearly. When he thinks about it, he would've done the exact same thing if he were in her position.]

[... OH GOD IS HE REALLY GOING TO DO THIS.

Why is he hesitating now!? He could do it to any other girl, so he shouldn't be freezing up. He's just said something cool, so the flag has been raised!

Okay, calm down. Calm down. Just do it.]

[OKAY, HE'S COOL AGAIN. Just have a hug there, Nagisa.]

So... Don't beat yourself up over something like that. You're their greatest treasure, so take pride in that. You've got really great parents.

[When she notices Arata getting up, Nagisa looks up at him. ...Slightly, anyway.]

...Do you think so..?

[She's sure it's true, but... there's still the fact that they wouldn't have had to do that if it weren't for her. Nagisa doesn't believe she's worth it at all, but...]

[...Suddenly hugged! Which makes Nagisa taken aback; she was not expecting that at all.

She doesn't say anything though. Instead... welp. Here come the waterworks.]

[He'll just continue to hug her tightly.

Don't worry, he'll be here allll daaaaay. He's not going anywhere.]

[She appreciates it, really.

Just... give her a bit to let it out.]

...I-I'm sorry...

[He's not sure if she's apoligizing to him or her parents or both, but this needs to be said.]

... I'm doing this because I want to.

[It was for both, but mostly him. She just feels bad about all of this, especially since she feels like she may be being a crybaby right now or something. But hearing Arata's words is reassuring.]

O-oh... [...] ..t-thank you then...

Besides... I think it's healthy for girls to cry. If someone keep all of that emotion balled up inside, it wouldn't be good at all.

[Don't mind as he pulls away from her a bit annnd shall wipe away a tear with her finger to sling it away.] After all, I have to be around to wipe your tears away.

I-I guess so... [Nagisa still feels at least a little bad though.

But she smiles, albeit a little weakly, and her face turns just slightly red at that!] Thank you very much, Arata...

No problem. [She's smiling again, so everything feels normal!] Do you still want to hang around here?

I was going to go grocery shopping, b-but... I guess I wouldn't mind staying around here for a little longer...

Sounds like a plan. [And he'll flop back down on the swing and move it around a bit.] I wonder... Do I need anything from the grocery store myself?

[Swing, swing...] Mm... Do you have enough food at your house right now...?

I might be running low on a couple of things, but it wouldn't hurt to overstock.

At least then you wouldn't have to go shopping again for some time, right..?

Who knows. I'll need an excuse to hang out with you every now and then.

...Eh? [...] But, um... we could still do so when it's not through shopping, couldn't we...?

Of course! I don't see any reason why we shouldn't.

Y-yes, I agree. [Smile..! Or a bit of one, anyway. Admittedly she still is at least a little upset..] So it couldn't hurt to get more groceries now then, right..?

Not at all. [He'll stretch his arms out.] I'm ready to go if you are.

O-okay..! I'm ready to go too then. [And so she'll get off her own swing now.]

Now that I think about it... How long have you been here, Nagisa?
