"Haah... Y-yeah I suppose..." She relaxed a little as Sayori fetched her bag for her, coughing a little as she slowly unzipped it... She didn't open it too wide, keeping the golems she had inside hidden from view as she fetched the bottle of painkillers. "C-could I ask one more favour...? ⤵

"I-i'm alright, just need some more p-painkillers from my bag..." She coughed a little as she forced herself to sit up, straining her body as she moved to stand.

It didn't take long for them to go back through and find that last sneaky little coin, clearing the level again in no time with their treasure in hand. "Th-there we go, haha... No one can stop us... Ngh..." It had been a decent while now, and it sounded like the pain was starting to kick back in.

『 LightofLumen. 』 Bleg

『 LightofLumen. 』 The urge to make something new.

"Oop, looks like we missed one of the coins, we can't very well claim to be treasure hunters if we're missing them on the first level can we?~" She'd joke as she looked over at Sayori, giving her a big ol' grin, they were usually pretty rare from her, but Sayori had a way of yanking them right out.

She'd hop on her Yoshi's back, letting her carry her for a bit. "Sounds like a plan, I'll let you know once I've found somewhere fitting~"

"Ehe, well if you wanna find the treasure that somebody hadn't already claimed, you gotta be willing to go where most people won't wanna look y'know~" Oops, she accidentally fell off the ledge and lost a life, getting a bit distracted by the conversation.

She wouldn't be able to bring along her golems like she usually did, but she imagined it would probably be okay. "Hmm, yeah that should be alright. I'll just have to make sure I don't take you anywhere too dangerous. And yeah I've found a few cool things, be it pretty or even kinda crrrreeeepy~"

She'd pick out Daisy after thinking over who to choose for a little longer than Sayori did. "Mmm well I spent a decent bit of time in here, mainly playing RPG's or reading manga... But otherwise I spend a good bit of time just wandering around looking for rare things~ So I guess I'm a bit of a +

"Sounds like a plan then~ So do you play many games in your own time? What do you usually do when you've got time to yourself?" She'd ask as the game booted up, picking up her controller.

Hmm? Valentine's Day? If there's someone out there she'd actually consider it worthwhile spending such a day with she certainly hasn't met them yet. Instead she'll be spending the day in bed, she was up late last night after all.

"Yeah that's fine with me, maybe you can teach me some tricks~" She smiled, watching as Sayori looked at her shelf, mostly it was RPGs that she seemed to have, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem and Dragon Quest as far the switch line up seemed to be concerned, and of course the aforementioned titles too.

"Thanks" She laid back, before pointing to the shelf on the side. "In terms of what we could play together, Mario kart, Smash Brothers or if you wanted to work together. Maybe Mario Wonder?. Though I haven't played much of that one"

"Y-yeah, I already took my meds before, so I'll be alright as long as I lay down while we play" She gave Sayori's arm a little tap, gesturing for her to release the hug.

"Oh of course, for now though, did you wanna stay a while? Not too sure about your hobbies, but I've got some consoles if you're into games" She pants a little as she speaks, not exactly having rested since she'd intended to.

She gave Sayori's hair a little ruffle. "Thanks, even if I don't have an immediate answer, it does help to be able to talk about it all like this, not quite getting it off my chest, but at least lightening the load a little"

She looked back at Sayori, giving her a smile. "Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything that could get me killed, I know my body's limits better than anyone" Though she didn't promise not to get her hands dirty if the need arose, she wasn't trying to act the saint.

"Not in a while... I did back when it first happened, but... I ran into a dead end... I even tried asking a detective to look into things, but... It didn't work, there wasn't anything left at the scene that could prove either way..." She glanced over at her desk, before shaking her head.

『SERVANT CALL』 This is worth an attempt at least, mainly looking for accounts that aren't focused on lewd. 💙 To be Considered #FateRP

Considering she doesn't understand the first thing about the art of seduction she'll be contributing to #SmileSunday instead, even if she has to force it a little. If only she had a friend to smile alongside her.

"I hope so... I just can't see her as being clumsy enough to fall by accident... And if I ever found she was murdered, I don't know what I'd do to the culprit so... It's easiest if I just blame myself..." She wiped her face on Sayori's shoulder, before sitting up properly, trying to relax again.

"I try to go every few months... But it can be difficult since I need to avoid my parents since I ran away from home" She couldn't understand a lot about her own heart but one thing was obvious, hugs felt nice~

She leaned her head into Sayori's shoulder, sniffling a little. "Yeah, but... It happened not long after I got stabbed, sis came to visit me in the hospital and I didn't want to tell her the reason I ended up there... So we ended up getting into a fight and I said some things I didn't mean..." +

She went to say something, stopping herself once she saw Sayori didn't look at what was written on the sticky notes. "Uh... I don't know ... If it really was the first option... I think it might... Have been my fault..." She was crying a little now, feeding into the hug... It felt rather warm.

Nanashi said nothing, looking like she might cry if she did. The back page was an unrelated tabloid piece uncaringly put into the same issue, though covered with a few sticky notes which made it hard to read, not that there was a reason to.

It seemed to be a newspaper article from back in November 2019, talking about how she'd fallen from her apartment, though they were unable to discover whether she'd jumped, fallen or been pushed off.

Rather than speak, Nanashi pointed towards her desk. "Bottom draw..."

"Yeah it wouldn't, but..." She made herself comfortable, breathing a little heavy as she laid down, making sure her legs were behind Sayori. "Maybe if the punishment and competitive nature of our relationship hadn't existed, sister wouldn't have..."

Her chest? She doesn't show that to just anyone, instead you'll have to settle for a glimpse of her having a midnight meal this #TastyTuesday

"Well that's certainly not inaccurate... It did take her from me after all, and I'm lucky to be alive myself" "In a better world they could have let us share in the light together, I'm sure twin idols would have done well, but they wanted us to compete, thinking we'd get competitive..." +

"In the simplest words, yeah. Being an idol is pretty tough... I would know because we did a lot of the training together, and I had to wear a disguise too whenever I went out, otherwise y'know... Bad things happened..." She gave a nervous laugh. "Though I'd argue we had it a bit tougher than +

"Hehe, I'll make sure to come up with something that'd look good on you then~ Maybe having a person in mind will help it come out better" She stretched a little, taking her shoes off before sitting on the bed, patting the spot next to her. "But yeah, back to what we were talking about before"

"Eh, not really~ Slacker that I am I usually only work one day a week, plus I've been doing my best to try making something good enough to put on the shelves too~" While it was true she could probably work at least a little more, part of it was the fact that it was bad for her to overexert her +

Nanashi gave a bit of a nervous chuckle as they headed in, leading Sayori to a clothing store. "Well I can't exactly afford a place all to myself, so the boss lets me live in the back of the shop" She said as she took out a key to the shop, unlocking it.

"Let's get going then!" She headed out of the cafe as soon as Sayori answered, leading the way into Shibuya's main building, the 109. She was supposed to be leading her to her home and yet, she was heading into a mall?

The 1 day a week job just isn't cutting it when it comes to making the money she needs, so in honour of #MaidMonday she'll be working part time at a Maid cafe too, at least until she grows bored of it.

"Yeah that's true, but my headspace was a lot worse back then..." She finished the last of her food and drink before standing up and stretching a little. "It is, um... You mind if we head out before we continue? Some of the stuff I'd prefer not to say with people listening in... I can take you +

Considering she doesn't understand the first thing about the art of seduction she'll be contributing to #SmileSunday instead, even if she has to force it a little. If only she had a friend to smile alongside her.

"Yeah, I guess it was pretty scary, though at the time I wouldn't have minded if I'd bled out in that alley... Though I could definitely do without the pain..." She gave a nervous laugh, rubbing the back of her head a little. "But she used to be yeah, though the world seems to have moved on +

『 LightofLumen. 』 Oh wowie, 100.

"It's not something I really like to talk about, but I guess I don't mind telling you" She stopped for a second, eating her last little bit of cake before fishing into her purse and taking out a bottle of water, as well as a painkiller. She placed it on her tongue, using the water to help her +

"Mmm maybe, though I think bad experiences with love in the past have turned me off from it... But I guess it is always possible I could meet someone who manages to shatter that barrier" She followed her words with a nervous laugh, before going in for more cake, almost finished her order at this +

"Um well... Maybe? I do have friends and my boss that do look out for me, but I'm not sure I'd anyone so close that just being with them feels me with absolute joy. I wouldn't say I've ever really been in love before either, if that's even something I'm capable of" She tapped her fork on the +

"Yeah, they do..." But did she have someone like that now? She tried to be that for others when she could, but she couldn't quite say she did, though that was something she'd keep to herself. She finished the last of her coffee before putting the cup aside, digging into some more cake.

"It does sound nice" Nanashi took another sip of her sugar heavy coffee, she was happy for Sayori, but she couldn't deny a part of her was jealous, mainly because she didn't really understand that kind of love. "I suppose my sister used to make me feel a similar way, not like THAT of course, +

"Someone special? O-oh duh... Sorry that kinda stuff usually flies right over my head, only realized what you meant since you blushed a little" She pointed it out rather frankly, almost like a tease if only unintentionally. "But it's nice to hear you have someone special like that"
