[Lisa's also starting to notice that. But she's not exactly in a position to keep putting on airs as she sees that cue ball heading for the pocket, so she lets it go as she talks. She's... okay, still. Junna's still being patient and understanding, sure, but she also seems interested to hear everything, which... yeah, she asked, but it's still a little surprising? She also, of course, sees that hesitation.]

It isn't, but... it doesn't make me feel any less like I'm running away. Zeke-san said this is kind of his and Senpai's and the other adults' fault, for looking like they can handle whatever comes their way and putting crazy expectations on our backs. He said it was okay not to know, too. So... I do want to think about it, but. I have time. We have time. It's a little comforting to know I'm not the only one that doesn't have the answers.

[She lets out a breath. It's... this is like therapy, on the days therapy actually works and something doesn't go horribly wrong almost immediately and the whole session feels wasted. But it's going over Dreamer stuff with another Dreamer, who can understand what you're going through in a way a civilian really can't. She's coming to appreciate the difference, as the knot that's been in her stomach since the third week of February slowly, gently comes undone.

She's also coming to appreciate that putting the cue ball in the pocket was really bad.]
I have to put a ball back and you get a free drop? Ew, that's... bad. I take it you don't really come back from those without your opponent doing it at least once or twice.

[It's not a question, as now she's pretty sure she's behind despite sinking the first ball, pulling the 6 back out of the pocket and dropping it onto the spot.]
