A probation? [ but she looks like such a good girl stares into cola's eyes. ]

That's the main thing. As long as you can live comfortably, and still hang out with people, where you are's just a base of sorts.

Oh... Tokyo? It's busy. Really busy, and kinda expensive to live in. But you definitely wouldn't get bored living there.

[ you got me... she's a naughty troublemaker. ]

Exactly! And it's fun thinking about how to decorate a new space once I can afford it...!

Is there a lot to do there? I've never heard of it.

[ frowns ]

Isn’t that every young person’s dream? Own a place so they can decorate it?

[ me, becks, crying. ]

Yup. It’s one of the busiest places in the world — and one of the ones with sooo many things to do. Historical, cultural, food wise… you name it, you can probably do it there or somewhere else in the country.

I had my own dorm before, so I wouldn't say this was a dream of mine...

[ hah. ]

It sounds fun! I wish this place was a little more like that, honestly.

But did you get to decorate it?

[ IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ]

It’s not too bad. Kinda small but at least there’s an arcade and some cafes around here. Those are the staples of city life.

I did... It was full of things I liked... But a couple grenades through the window wiped all of that out.

[ okay. ]

That's true. This place isn't bad, I don't mean to complain.

[ UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

Grenades?!

[ she just nods :( ]

Wh--why?!

Some girls just aren't very creative, I guess.

.........

Wait, it was bullying?! Oh my god, just leave notes in lockers or something, put gum in their shoes?! Not live grenades through windows!!

[ you know how little kids can like hold it together just fine until you ask if they're okay, or phrase something in the right way to make them remember that they're hurt ]

Um... Heh... Yeah, I know, right?
