I'll admit. This might qualify as a welcome distraction...

[appraiser]

almost like normalcy, right?
you're right that it's a good thing for people to hold on to

[ It's why he went through with the job, instead of resigning immediately after... you know. ]

did you get to play it before? the last time was two years ago

[true_noir]

Almost, though I will confess that I'm seeking diversions from very normal problems for once. Normalcy, however, is a lovely thing. We should cherish it.

Not last time, no. I arrived too late for it. A bit into the summer so that I could begin studies.

[appraiser]

ohh. i won't ask here, but i hope your normal problems will work themselves out soon
that's too bad, but i hope you have fun with it this year

[true_noir]

They're unsalvageable, but I will live. I have always prided myself on being able to cope. I can cope with this. Nevertheless, I will have fun.

[appraiser]

:( i'm sorry
there's coping, but there's also healing- if it's something that can be healed. take your time but don't forget that. if i can help any, please let me know?

[true_noir]

It isn't something you can control. Breakups happen. I just have to cope with it, Ryoji. She already changed her phone number after all.

Healing takes time. This is simply raw is all.

[appraiser]

oh. oh no i'm so sorry. i wish i could offer advice, but i'm not the best person for that...
but you're right- time, and not dwelling on what cannot be changed! so i won't belabor the subject

[true_noir]

It will be alright. I just need time, really. Distractions do not hurt. Hence, my interest.

Well, I'd probably be interested anyway, heh.

[appraiser]

i can be a distraction! whenever you want, we can go out- we could distract each other

[true_noir]

I might take you up on that one of these days. Friends are good distractions, Ryoji.

[appraiser]

keep me in mind, okay? because we're friends

[true_noir]

I like this about you. You can develop friendships as quickly as I can. It's a good trait.

[appraiser]

you think so? i think of others as friends easily, but having that feeling returned isn't always as simple. it goes both ways, so i'm glad we can call each other friends

[true_noir]

As do I. But it isn't quite so common I think. Many are slow to make friends. But in our case, we both do, so it's a happy coincidence, yes? I am glad as well, after all.

[appraiser]

oh. i can think of three people off the top of my head who insist against friendship, that's true

[true_noir]

I can think of a few myself. They take their time with it, for one reason or another. I'm just not that way myself. Too long living alone, I think.

[appraiser]

hmm i used to think people who lived alone are used to being alone
but it's not like that at all, huh?

[true_noir]

No two people are exactly alike. I'm sure there are people who do that, who don't really enjoy it despite being used to it. It just depends on the person, doesn't it?
