[Tashi]

>"Kokoro...?"

> "... I said it already.. I owe you more thanks than you to me..." She replies in low voice.

//Oh okay...

Daiko-kun:

>Ease our look, then gently and-

> Before you can do anything, Kokoro leans a bit, kissing you this time in the lips.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Again, go with the flow for now.
>Once she stops the kiss:
>_{^{"But is this what your heart wants ?"}}

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Again, go with the flow for now.
>Once she stops the kiss:
>_{^{"But is this what your heart wants ?"}}

> You correspond... It doesn't feel that great...
> She stops seconds later.
> "... My heart..." She lies to your side. "... ... ..."
> Tears start to come from the eyes of Kokoro.
> "... I hate myself..."
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"K-Kokoro-chan ?! But w-why ?!"
>Look worried.

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"K-Kokoro-chan ?! But w-why ?!"
>Look worried.

> "... I-I never know what I want... I never understand what I feel, nor what I must do..."
> The flow of tears increase. She still has her poker face...
> "... I don't know what I must do with myself..."
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Look at her surprised, then embrace her.
>"But you aren't alone, you have me, you have your family, you have your friends, i know it is hard to walk this path, it has been for me ever since mother went away..."
>Look at her with resolve and a gentle smile.
>"...but don't hate yourself, and don't give up on yourself, i know that one day you will understand yourself... and i will be together with you on your path."

[Neovereign]

//Hold up on that.
>"Then I'll help you figure out what you want, even if it takes long, or even if you have to take things slowly to understand it better..."
>...
>"Right now. Do you want a hug?"
>Open our arms in wait for her to possibly accept our hug.

[Tashi]

//Hold up on that.
>"Then I'll help you figure out what you want, even if it takes long, or even if you have to take things slowly to understand it better..."
>...
>"Right now. Do you want a hug?"
>Open our arms in wait for her to possibly accept our hug.

> "..." She sits up in the bed. "... I-I need time for myself..."
> _

[Monarda]

>Nod sadly.
>"I understand, i'll be at the corridor..."
>Get up and head to the door.

[Neovereign]

>Put our arms down and stand up off of the bed.
>"Okay Kokoro. Please don't be hard on yourself."

[Tashi]

>Nod sadly.
>"I understand, i'll be at the corridor..."
>Get up and head to the door.

> You are about to get up, but she stops you.
> "... I will go..." She gets up and wipes her face. "... Tell the others that I wasn't able to stay her... tonight..." Her voice it's shaky...

>Put our arms down and stand up off of the bed.
>"Okay Kokoro. Please don't be hard on yourself."

> She only looks down, before heading to the door and open it.
> _

[Monarda]

>"Please remember that you aren't alone... be safe Kokoro-chan..."

[Tashi]

>"Please remember that you aren't alone... be safe Kokoro-chan..."

> She stops for a couple of seconds.
> "... Good night, Daikoku..." Kokoro exits and close the door...
> _

[Monarda]

>Lie down on the bed and ponder what just happened.
>Feel like trash after being unable to help the person we have feelings towards.

[Neovereign]

>After we're done pondering and feeling like trash for a while, get up and head to the library with our book.

[Tashi]

>Lie down on the bed and ponder what just happened.
>Feel like trash after being unable to help the person we have feelings towards.

> You start to think about what happened. Kokoro said she hates herself for not being able to understand herself clearly... The detonant of all this it's probably when you asked her if that was something from her heart, and that makes you wonder if she ever tried something with her heart content.
> You feel horrible... The person you fell in love started to cry in front of you and you were unable to help her...

>After we're done pondering and feeling like trash for a while, get up and head to the library with our book.

> You shake any bad feelings you might about the earlier situation. You get up, pick the book and head to the door, opening it. Afterwards, you start to go to the library again.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Head in and start to browse when we get there.

[Tashi]

>Head in and start to browse when we get there.

> You enter the library (which still has the doors open) and you start to read the book again...
> _

[Monarda]

>Keep reading until we hit anything interesting.

[Neovereign]

>(Unless someone objects) Let's eat books and knowledge until we pass out fall asleep.

[Monarda]

>Fine by me.

[Tashi]

>Keep reading until we hit anything interesting.

>(Unless someone objects) Let's eat books and knowledge until we pass out fall asleep.

> You start to grab random books to start to improve your knowledge.
> You go to a corner and sit there with all the books.
> The long night of reading starts...
> ...
> Your eyes start to feel heavy...
> ...
> You stretch a bit, slowly opening your eyes.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Look around a bit, then stretch some more, standing up.

[Tashi]

>Look around a bit, then stretch some more, standing up.

> You look around lazily. Ah, you aren't in your house...
> ...
> Wait, what?
> It seems you are in... uh... space.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Wait! Can we breathe!?

[Tashi]

>Wait! Can we breathe!?

> It seems that way... You are floating in the mid of nowhere.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Hm... with this much space...
>Try firing danmaku and seeing how far it travels before dissipating/we lose sight of it.

[Monarda]

>"Hello ? Anyone ?"

[Tashi]

>"Hello ? Anyone ?"

> No response...

>Hm... with this much space...
>Try firing danmaku and seeing how far it travels before dissipating/we lose sight of it.

> You fire some red danmaku balls.
> ...
> By now, you can see the balls veeery far away.
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Hm..."
>Try to imagine something. Maybe a book?
