.... right.

[senri just sighs quietly as he slumps, letting his head rest in his hands]

Well, I thought I'd ask. The worst thing that could happen is I get told 'no'. I'm not as good at thinking up plans or the right things to question as Taka or Ray-kun, so instead I just try to ask a lot of questions and hope that I can get at least one good thing out of them.

[divus]

That's not a bad way to do things, though. The only way to fail for sure is to not try in the first place.

[usogi]

[senri just

laughs]

Cheri really always gets me the best out of anyone.

[divus]

Isn't that why you picked me at the start?

[usogi]

.... well, I always thought that my life could use a little more sincerity. I lied a lot before I came here, you know, and I'm not even sure if I'll stop once I go back home...

[well. he'll try. taka hates lying, anyway.]

But....

It's truer than I thought - that I would want to be like you.

[divus]

Well, who wouldn't? I'm fabulous, after all.

[he chuckles good-naturedly]

...but to be like me, all you need to do is to be true to yourself. That's all I do, you know? I am who I am, no matter what other people think. And maybe you shouldn't dress just like me or talk just like me or any of that, but I think being yourself is the best thing anyone can be.

[usogi]

[ . . . . and he just pouts at that.]

... I don't think being true to myself has gone all that well, to be honest.

[divus]

Just because it's not easy doesn't mean it's not for the best in the long-run.

Believe me, I know that better than anyone.
