...I can manage. But don't need more remindin' of what's not gonna be there no more. ...'Sides, doncha got yer own sempaitachi to fuss over or somethin'?
...Then good for you. ...But these guys are more family to me than my own folks at times. They're the brothers I never had. I don't think I'll ever be unattached to 'em by that so-called umbilical cord. ...And really, why would I wanna have it any other way? They mean the world to me. So feel smug if ya wanna, man. But I kinda pity ya for not havin' that connection with yer own sempaitachi.
[OOC: Kin-chan's definitely not happy with Ryoma right now for mocking his closeness with the old Shiten gang. Hence the snippyness. >>]
Never said nothin' 'bout losin' contact. 'Sides, that's not the same thing. Not even close to what I'm talkin' 'bout. So you're missin' the point, man.
...Bein' rivals ain't got shit all to do with it. I've long thought of Kura as a rival, but bein' teammates stopped us from doin' much 'bout it 'til this past year. But that fact never changed how I felt 'bout 'im as one of my closest friends. It's the same for Riria. I'll prolly end up against him this comin' season. Does it stop us from bein' best friends? No. It's 'cause of that rivalry that we got closer. ...Used to think the same 'bout you too. Always thought of ya as one of my best friends. Fuck knows I wouldn't have put so much effort into things when playin' ya all this time if that weren't the case. ...But since I'm just another potential rival, that's the only way you're gonna keep thinkin' of me, right?
Don't you think you're blowing this way out of proportion?
If you were just another potential rival, I never would have played against you as much as I've done. Or you know. Any other stupid shit we have done. Because, take this however the hell you want, but spending time with you can be tiring. You have like... A lot of energy, right? But you take energy as well. So it's draining. And hell, I don't even know if that's your fault or not, but that's how I feel. So it takes effort. And I'm gladly making that effort because I think of you as one of my best friends as well, okay?
This sappy shit just rubs me the wrong way. As do pity.
...Wow. So it's a chore and a burden bein' friends with me now? Thanks for that. That makes me feel SO much more fuckin' better 'bout things.
It's friendship. It's a sappy emotion by nature. An' if it rubs ya the wrong way....then it don't stick with ya at all. ...And ya might hate my pity, but...I'd pity anyone who gets rubbed the wrong way by friendship. So get mad at me for it all ya like. 'Cause it ain't somethin' for ya to start lettin' yer pride control. But maybe that's impossible for ya at this point.
Yeah, whatever. I said you could take it as you wanted, so yeah. If that's how you're gonna go about it, go ahead.
Yeah, that's the thing, right? Don't even know if I'm mad. I just don't understand what the use is. Why you'd allow yourself to get that close to so many people that you get this distressed when they're simply moving on with their lives. I don't get it.
Awww, Echizen~ It's not a question of 'allowing' is it? It happens if you are open with your emotions. Some of the connections in the team started before we were all in the club. Why do you think we all moved up to Kantou? Maybe you are used to moving away from friends, but we aren't. It's hard. Maybe you should allow that as well. Might bring sadness sometimes, but most of the time you have all the happiness that closeness bring~
You really think that? You can't be a one mans bad and enjoy all instruments, Echizen. Other people brings you happiness. It always last forever if they are important enough. And having them doesn't hold you bad, helps you grow.

Anyway. They're all potential rivals anyway. I wish I cared a whole less about them than I do.
Don't you ever pity me, Tooyama.

You just have to move on with your own life, that's all.
