WHO COULD IT BE]

Comments

[hardlyboy]

Who?

[boxcut]

It doesn't matter. I failed and he killed me instead.

[hardlyboy]

Of course it matters! Jennifer-san, even if you haven't succeeded at eating another person since Yousuke-senpai, the fact remains that you made an attempt to do so!

[boxcut]

Don't yell at me.

[hardlyboy]

[breathes out deeply and rubs her forehead]

I realize this must be difficult for you to deal with, but I am sure there are ways you can control your hunger without resorting to violence.

[boxcut]

I can, now. I just thought I'd be honest and tell you about before. I figure that if you're some hot-shot detective, you'll look into it and then find out anyway, so I thought I'd beat you to the punch.

[hardlyboy]

... thank you for being upfront about it.

[boxcut]

...I really like you. I don't want you to hate me.

[hardlyboy]

Why do you...?

[boxcut]

Do you hate me?

[hardlyboy]

Just because I am upset with you does not mean that I hate you.

[boxcut]

I don't want you to be upset with me, either.

[hardlyboy]

There are worse fates, Jennifer-san.

[boxcut]

[puts a hand on Naoto's shoulder]

What can I do?

[hardlyboy]

[keeping an eye on that hand]

Continue to control your hunger in non-violent ways. I cannot say we will not be investigating you, and if we discover that you have been 'slipping up', there will be consequences. However, if you can maintain a peaceful lifestyle here then I will be able to trust you.

[boxcut]

I'm doing that already.

[hardlyboy]

Then it's quite likely that my investigation will be short.

[boxcut]

[reaching out to stroke the side of Naoto's face]

When you got upset the other day, was it for me or for that other guy?

[hardlyboy]

I was upset that my senpai had been attacked and eaten, and that it was kept from my knowledge.

[boxcut]

Is that the guy you like?

[hardlyboy]

Pardon?

[boxcut]

The guy I killed. You said you liked someone.

[hardlyboy]

[blink. blinkblink.]

[hardlyboy]

[OH.]

[hardlyboy]

No, that. That is not the situation at all.
