"I don't want to be the comedy leader. I'm giving up," he informs them suddenly, but he isn't changing the subject, "Nothing seems funny anymore."

Oh, you! I love this about your writing so much. And your style is so well suited to Jun, too, with his watchfulness and the importance he places on things not said but understood. Sho's "Not possible" up there - or the way it shuts Jun down particularly - is perfect. This is Jun, guarded and a little hypersensitive, making himself reach out only to pull back if the water isn't exactly as he needs it. I also really like how this sets up a weird, formless tension between them. I can't wait to see how you handle this, I can tell already that it is going to be great.

Ah, that "not possible" is so very important.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You always give the best compliments. <3

AH REALLY? I have a guess now as to why, and it is totally reordering my reading of that exchange, omg!

Hmmn, it probably also helps if I say I based this story on Jun's Oshareism interview. LOL. People who have seen it might have an advantage here.
