[soba]

I mean, it was kind of hard to ignore you...

[ since she was staring at him right after he technically committed a major crime. ]

[inveilsible]

Because I was staring...?

Sorry... I was just interested, and I didn't think you'd see me, so...

[soba]

I guess I lucked out that you can't snitch on me.

[ he probably would have threatened her. ]

[inveilsible]

I wouldn't--!! I mean, I don't know what you were doing, but that's-- not any of my business anyway! And you probably have circumstances, so...

[ Rude. ]

[soba]

Do I have circumstances?

[ he's just being difficult ]

[inveilsible]

I think so? Someone with no circumstances doesn't usually end up being able to see me.

[ That's fine. Sana isn't difficult at all. ]

[soba]

[ he points a finger at her ]

Oi. Stop jumping to conclusions.

[inveilsible]

... If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. [ DIPLOMATICALLY. ]

[soba]

Yeah. You should be sorry.

[ although it's said quietly

since she is, in fact, right. ]

[inveilsible]

... Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?

[ WELL.

Now she feels bad. ]

[soba]

[ oh my god

... ]

You're kind of easy to boss around.

[inveilsible]

N-no one's ever said that to me! They usually just tell me I'm useless so I'm not worth the effort...

[ This is almost like a compliment. ]

[soba]

[ holy shit ]

... even the people who can see you?

[inveilsible]

Ah, well, some of them don't like me... but my friends tell me I don't have to force myself.

[ Yeah!! ]

[soba]

... well, I guess just because you have to hang around them doesn't mean they'll like you.

[ hm ]

[inveilsible]

R-right... I guess I'm used to that too.

[soba]

Get less used to it.

[ he gives her a look. ]

[inveilsible]

... Um? I-I'm not sure how, exactly--

[ With her hands held up, placating. ]

[soba]

You need to figure it out.

[ helpful. ]

[inveilsible]

Um, but... I mean, you're right...

[ But that takes time, okay-- ]

[soba]

... right.

[ but okay, they are out of the park now. he pauses, looking around. where to go... ]

[inveilsible]

... Um--

[ But that's when Sana pauses, blinking at someone walking just slightly ahead of them. Said person looks dazed, but meandering in a clear direction. ]

[soba]

[ toi, meanwhile, keeps walking, and it takes a moment to realize she's distracted. ]

What?

[inveilsible]

... That person over there... can you talk to them? Something doesn't feel right.

[ And she can't really call out to them, because she doesn't exist to them. ]

[soba]

[ uh

he looks at who she's indicating, clearly confused ]

What do you want me to say?
