Theater Kid's March Comes in Like a Lion

[thestarknows]

⭐ Who: Junna Hoshimi... and you!
⭐ When: Throughout March!
⭐ Where: In Yumemigaoka!
⭐ What: March catch-all!
⭐ Warnings: Junna's grappling with some heavy stuff, so... threads could get into parents not being great, some homophobia, and other things. There's also some implicit sleeping together (nothing NSFW though) in the Lisa and Junna thread, if that's a thing you prefer to avoid!

[ In contrast to what Junna thinks... Nene is honestly just relieved to see her. ]

Huh...? Oh! Don't worry about that! Seriously, I know I said a bunch of stuff about being traumatized—and I kind of am—but I'll be fine! I'll forget about it eventually!

[ Nene that. That might not be. As comforting as you think it is. ]

Are you okay to be out and about, though...?

[thestarknows]

Ah... ah, I'm sorry. About... that. [Junna looks down for a second. It isn't as comforting as Nene hopes, though she thinks about it for a moment. She looks back up at her, then she smiles a little.]

...Y-Yeah, I am. I need to get out and walk around, they said. I'm, um... trying to not lie in bed all day.

[She hesitates. She smiles, but it's a fragile thing; her confidence is still good and shot, and there's a feeling of exhaustion that she cannot yet shake.] Thank you, Nene-chan. For... for coming to save me. I really do appreciate it. I don't like to think what would have happened, if you hadn't come when you did.

not me coming in a month later but before my computer explodes again...!

[ ...Man, she sucks at this, doesn't she? Nene coughs awkwardly, trying to recover. Come on, Yashiro Nene...! You saved your friend from a creepy giraffe monster, comforting her should be easy...! ]

H-Hey, don't worry about it! What kind of friend would I be if I left my friend alone with a creepy talking giraffe! If anything, I wish I could've done more...

[ She kind of just. Went crazy in there. ]

B-But...! I um, I don't regret it.

no worries!!

[thestarknows]

You did great. Amane-kun should be proud. [She smiles a little bit at that -- though there is a wince at the memory of that terrible giraffe that her mind cooked up. How did that come out of her brain?

She straightens up, though. Maybe focus on what's in front of her.]

I'm glad you did. I was... well. You saw. I let things get so bad...

[daikonic]

Heh... you think so?

[ Maybe she'll rub it in his face later... Nene, destroyer of Nightmares and Night Terrors... never mind that in terms of the actual Night Terror, Nene did maybe like... a sliver of damage. ]

H-Hey, that's not your fault! Everyone has their lows! Everybody has bad days! I've had bad days too, y'know...!

[ Mind, it didn't result in a disturbance... though, then again, maybe single-handedly spawning a Nightmare after a bad rejection is at a similar level— ]

[thestarknows]

He better. [She smiles at that, though. She's joking. (Mostly.)

Then, she blinks -- and glances to the side. There's a flicker of embarrassment, or something deeper, but... she knows what Nene means. She hesitates, before she nods.]

I know. Just... mine made such a big problem for everyone. I-I mean... I know I'm in good company, it's just...

...hard to shake the guilt.
