April catch-all ♫

[traceofeffort]

⭐ Who: Lisa and you! Yeah, you, I see you on your phone over there, come on, sing along! Junna will be along for at least one of these, I expect, You'll Know.
⭐ When: All through April! Especially earlier in the month, though.
⭐ Where: Asagi Public Library, DU HQ, Tsubaki Department Store, the park, and probably other places too
⭐ What: After last month's roller coaster of emotions, Lisa's doing her best to keep her head and embrace her vision for the future, with everything preparing for adult life entails. She's also got some slightly esoteric shopping to do.
⭐ Warnings: Early in the month, nothing, for once! Tooth-rotting fluff, perhaps. Later in the month, Lisa will be somewhat less cheery for Obvious Reasons.

I don't know... if I'm the person that should be getting closer to Senpai. It feels. It feels wrong to do it like this. But... I have to try, right? If- if we're going to help her.

[Lisa takes a breath, and lets it out in a slow, shuddering huff.]

I'm a little afraid of... what kind of realization will be waiting. When we get to the depths. She might need it, but it might- [another breath, this one shorter and sharper-] be something that breaks how we see her. Still...

[She still looks miserable. Looking up at Junna, she's pretty sure she's made her miserable too, which. Isn't helping either of them, and she can throw feeling bad about it onto the pile with everything else going wrong today. But her eyes are clearing, determination starting to work its way into her voice.]

I want to help Senpai. I have to help her. Even... even if it hurts. Hurts me, or hurts her. Probably- probably both, just like last time. It... it doesn't stop what needs to be done. Yeah?

Yeah. We... we can't pick a different outcome, where this never happened. [Junna's hands still rest on Lisa's shoulders, and she looks at her -- her expression is still intense. She hesitates to see how Lisa looks so miserable.

But, it's something they have to push it back.] Maybe. But... we just have to have faith that she's still the same person we care about. Even if there's more to her, it doesn't mean that all of that goes away.

[There's a nod, then.] Yeah. We'll do what we have to, and--and we'll be there for each other, whatever happens. To pick each other up. And keep moving.
