[Ruri nods to him at work at the cosplay cafe]

"Are you all right?"

Huh?

[It takes him a moment, but he plasters on a fake smile as he looks up.]

Yup! Fine! Never better!

"You look like a kicked puppy, the smile doesn't help. Would you like a soda? I think I can cover you for one if it would help."

Guess I can't hide it, huh.

[Hachibe sighs a little, sitting down at one of the tables.]

Yeah, a soda sounds good right about now.

[Deadpan, so deadpan even though she was told to smile, she sucks at it]

"I'm good at reading people."

[She goes inside and gets a soda placing it on the table]

"It probably won't help, but, if the soda does make things better so much the better. If not, I would be a bad waitress if I left a customer unhappy."

I bet you're pretty popular with the customers, huh?

"Taiwan says I should smile more, but I'm not very good at it. Though, if I get enough in tips maybe I can get a swimsuit for the break."

That's okay, some guys are into the whole 'cute waitress who never smiles' thing. There's a fetish out there for everyone, after all.

[He pulls out a few dollars to hand over to her.]

"Thank you, but, I just like wearing costumes. It may make me a little strange but..."

[She takes the money and bows]

Nah, I've met way stranger people.

"I'm sure, that's why I only said a little strange. But that being said, thank you."

I'll never make fun of someone for liking what they like. I know how it feels. So you're welcome.

"Not a lot of people are that understanding."

[She nods]

It's a little easier to sympathize when you've been singled out yourself for something like that, I guess.

[He finishes off his soda.]

"That is true. But our eccentricities are what keep us from getting turned into..."

[She peers out into the street and shakes her head a bit]

"I think in some ways the town attacks those who are the least blind in conformity to make the rest of us.... Hrm... Sad?"

Hmm... you really think so? I never thought of it that way.
