My first novel, A Relative Weight, is now in stores! Consider picking up a copy from your local bookstore~ (You would be able to order it off Amazon except there are unreality shenanigans. Someday.) If you were promised a signed copy, you should already have gotten one on your doorstep. Let me know if I missed anyone. Thanks again to Chiyo Matsuoka for the cover art and to everyone who provided support during this process! I couldn't have reached here without you ♥

[A Relative Weight is indeed for sale! And getting pretty good reviews, at that.]

You're way more put-together than I am, so you'll have an easier time.

Oh no... I know a few people who would argue that. One of them being myself.

You can argue, but I know I'm right. You're going to be fine.

Well I certainly hope so.

Was dealing with retrospec things on top of school difficult...?

It was, but there's nothing I could've done about that.

Mm. I'm wondering how I'll fare.

Not that I struggled much with high school, but I didn't have a job then, either.

The main issue with college vs high school isn't that the material is significantly harder. It's not, not more than going up a grade in high school would be. The problem is that no one will stop you if you feel like skipping a class once or twice, or if you don't give yourself enough time to do all your homework. You're much more independent.

Oh in that case, I should be... okay?

I hate deviating from my routine too much and get nervous if I don't do the work someone gives me.

You'll be fine. Just like I said.

I suppose if I'm not, I can always pay you to help tutor me.

As if getting to spend time with you wouldn't be enough payment.

[Smooth, Shuji. ~~Try not to break another heart this week.~~]

How sweet of you to say. (≧◡≦)

Though I'd insist on at least paying you in a homecooked meal.

[At least she already knows he's taken??]

Homemade tea and we can make the meal together.

[Yes, he's haggling.]

Okay, deal!

So long as you don't try sneaking your way into making most of it yourself.

[THAT'S WHAT SHE'D DO]

[It's also what he was planning to do, oops.]

60-40 split?

But who gets the 60?

Obviously I do, if you're making the tea.

But... wouldn't that be unbalanced? Since you'd be helping me with my homework, too.

You're having me in your house, so it balances out again.

Exactly.

You know my apartment isn't very... up to date.

Though at least the water still works!

We'd be making dinner with your food that you paid for. 70-30 would be a better split, honestly.

But you get to play with my cats, too, so that evens it back out, right?

55-45

I'll take the first number.

[He wants to argue that he should get the 55 instead of the 45, but... that's really pretty close, isn't it...]

Sakura. Have you ever considered that we might both be giant dorks?

... I guess we are getting carried away, aren't we? (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

How about 50/50? Like we should've done from the start.

50/50 sounds great. I'm really looking forward to seeing you.
