Me neither. But it's a whole industry for a reason.

[aididitmyway]

I know it is, it just seems... boring if it's not someone I—

[She stops herself right there.]

[aiwillneversmile]

[That earns a small huff.]

Thanks for stopping yourself.

[Wait a second.]

That pink haired girl in your class?

[aididitmyway]

She only did gravure! There's a difference!

[She looks a little offended for Minami.]

... But she does have a nice chest.

[aiwillneversmile]

I know what she does.

[He raises an eyebrow but he doesn't say anything.]

[aididitmyway]

Then why bring up Minami??

[She raises her own eyebrow.]

[aiwillneversmile]

She's someone you know that isn't here. That's all.

[aididitmyway]

Except I don't like her like that even if I think she's hot... but if she showed up, I'd totally try to help her with quota if she'd let me.

[aiwillneversmile]

Well, don't you sound liberated.

[aididitmyway]

What's that supposed to mean??

[aiwillneversmile]

You sound ready to add someone else to your harem. That's all. Even if it's hypothetical.

[aididitmyway]

I don't have enough people to have a harem! How many people do you think I'm actually dating??

[aiwillneversmile]

Three, at least.

[aididitmyway]

One. The rest are quota partners!!

[That she really likes, and the definition of what she and Gokudera are calling themselves is a little nebulous in the moment. Same with Kalim.]

[aiwillneversmile]

Really? You've been holding back. Good job.

[Zero sarcasm.]

[aididitmyway]

[Suspicious...]

... I don't want to make things complicated...

[aiwillneversmile]

For you? Or...?

[aididitmyway]

Me and them? Everyone's got a whole bunch of relationships here.

[aiwillneversmile]

But we also know where we are. I don't think it will get complicated unless someone doesn't understand what's going on around here.

[aididitmyway]

But it feels complicated to me. Just because people know where we are doesn't mean feelings aren't gonna happen or something, Aqua...

I don't want someone to get jealous and then something happens.

[aiwillneversmile]

[Well, this all sounds foreign to him.]

Besides your first roommate, has anyone like us been mean to you? Or seemed like you couldn't talk to them?

[aididitmyway]

No. Not really! It's mostly just all the people in charge, like the guards and stuff. I just... don't want to make anything messy, that's all. Or make someone feel like I'm just gonna be a pain.

[aiwillneversmile]

[He is just going to reach out and pet her head ... While there is porn playing in the background. This is normal.]

If you're already worried about something like that, then I doubt it will happen. You're not going to suddenly forget to be mindful of other people.

[aididitmyway]

I... guess not. I just don't want to have sex with people and then it's like... nothing.

[aiwillneversmile]

Why not? I mean, that's almost exactly what they expect of us.
