[About a minute after Kanji's message, Naoto leaves a voicemail.]

I haven't been able to get through with my previous calls, so I must assume you are busy. But... Rise, when you get this I--

I need some advice.

[ as this is post-Kanji-- well, she won't say that. ]

What's wrong? Are you okay?

I...

Well--

[Long silence on the other end] How does one know precisely how one "likes" someone else? It's different but...

[She probably didn't intend Rise to hear that last part]

... Um. Feeling different is a start.

Oh. Good. But can you go into more detail? I must know exactly. Theory and hypothesis will simply not be good enough.

[Silly Naoto, you can't apply scientific method to feelings.]

Okaaaay, no more science talk from you for the rest of this call, okay?

My apologies. I will stop using that metaphor.

Okay, so-- in your case, it might be something like your heart beating faster, and your hands getting sweaty and your face getting all pink without you wanting it to. You start worrying about saying something dumb in front of the person, but you still can't control what you say sometimes.

Much of that has proven true-- I mean.

I... may have been hasty and told Kanji th-that I might like him but!!

I have nothing truly conclusive. What if I'm mistaken and it isn't that manner of like but a different kind of like? I've never dealt with this situation before and nothing I've learned is much help.

[Basically: how does I feelings?!! And she doesn't want to hurt Kanji later if she...doesn't actually like him back like that.]

Whoa, calm down! Okay, um-- well, you like me, right? So how is that different than how you like Kanji?

CALL fortunatewings September 13 2010, 18:32:12 UTC
Well...

[Silence for a really long stretch]

You do not make me blush as often? And... I admit I feel like we know each other better but that may be because I occasionally find my tongue tied around him.

I feel like whether I change or not will never matter to Kanji and that he can understand what I've been through, in a way.

[ ... probably because he can, but she won't say that. ]

That's probably true... maybe Kanji even had an idea before the rest of us did. So how would you feel if some other girl said she liked him? And wanted to date him?
