LUCETI POST [voice/action]
[What with the draft and Keiichi's recent hospitalization, to say that House 22 had been tense was an understatement, to say the least. True, things had been getting better- Keiichi was healing (and supervised) and Rena looked less like she was about to burst into tears at any moment, but Satoshi still found it hard to stay inside the house. It's a
( Read more... )
He couldn't wait to see those two meeting again.
He's distracted from his own thoughts as Satoshi rubs his hair. What the... Keiichi just laughs at it. Ookay, so this was why he had heard that Satoshi and him were alike? Both of them have this habit?]
Satoko is a dear friend for me, I'm an only child but she, Rika and Hanyuu are like sisters to me. She has her flaws, but who doesn't? No one's perfect and she's a good enough child to make up for it and make herself be loved. She's also quite strong and reliable, thanks to her I didn't set my house on fire when my parents left for a weekend.

...Even though Satoshi himself can't do it.
"Dear friend." "Make herself be loved." "Strong and reliable." Satoshi can see it clearly now, the reason why Rena liked him so much, why she trusted him so despite saying she had only known him for a few weeks back in Hinamizawa.]
I'm...really glad to hear that. [And he means it. The soft gratitude in his voice doesn't come close to portraying how much he actually means it.]
Umm...I don't really know what it's like when you come to Hinamizawa [and that goes for his own fate as well], but...
...I'll trust you to look after her, okay?

With my life on the line.
[It's a simple and short answer but it's honest and anyone can see it, anyone can hear that it's not just words, he seriously means it.]
To protect her I would do anything and stand against anyone.
[He already did it, several times even if not always by choosing the right path. Even if once he ended hurting her... No, they were sick, both of them, it was out of their control.]
But you know... That goes for you too. I know we barely know each other, but I want to be your friend and protect you too. Satoko wouldn't forgive me, no, I wouldn't even be able to look at her in the eyes if something happened to you while I was around.

But that's okay. Because maybe if Oyashiro-sama gets His fill of the first-born, He'll leave Satoko alone.
And Keiichi said he would protect her. That's all that matters. Keiichi might as well have stopped talking there because nothing else he could have said would have had as much impact as simply promising to keep Satoko safe. Which may be why he seems to take the similar offer of friendship Keiichi extends to him with much less weight.]
Hahaha...well, thanks for the sentiment, Keiichi. I don't know you in Hinamizawa...
[Apparently.]
...But, umm...it'd be nice to be friends here.

[Even if Satoko is missing.]
So, tell me, how good were you?

At the club games. Did you have to dress as a maid often or not?

Ahahaha...well, Satoko was more into it than I was. I didn't really stay a lot.
But...they were all really good. [So yes, he tended to lose. But he laughs off the memory. It was embarrassing, yes, but it made Satoko smile and sometimes he would see the fiery temper their relatives had never quite managed to beat out of her. And it would give him hope, that maybe his sister could have a happy life after all.]
I'm sure Satoko was ashamed. She was a lot better at Mion's game than me.

...Muu, I think Mion kept the worst punishments for when she knew I was staying. She was so mean.
[So he says...but it's affectionately.]

[That's only because he always stayed... And he wouldn't be any better with his punishments actually.]
