August 16th - Afternoon - Junes food court

[hearnolie]

[sitting at a table, reading a latter, there's Yuu with a rather unusual expression for him. He seems to be worried about something. Do you care enough to poke at him? Do you want to ask him if he's eating that food he ordered, and steal it if the answer is no? Go at it]

[Well, of course I care. :( He sits across from him.]

Yuu...

[immortalhand]

Are you afraid to meet with him again?

[hearnolie]

W-well, ah... a bit. I don't know what to say.

[immortalhand]

I imagine... the words may not be important.

[hearnolie]

T-that's right. Though, you know... I guess the problem is that I-- huh... I'm kind of mad at him. A bit.

[immortalhand]

Mad...?

[hearnolie]

I know I shouldn't, because he did the right thing. A-and it's really selfish of me, to think something like that. It's just that, huh... You know, he was offered a deal at least, wasn't he? He could have said the names of the others involved in the Mall Bombing, but he didn't. And since he used to be a star, Both me and my family back at home had to deal with a lot of journalists.

But, yeah, it's selfish. I shouldn't think it was a trouble like this.

[immortalhand]

If it was bothersome, it's all right to feel bothered by it.

But, my opinion of Yamaguchi Keita increased greatly through his actions. That opinion may differ with the whole of society, however...

[He looks aside.]

In the end, a single opinion can hold so much more power than the voice of the rest of the world.

[hearnolie]

[he seems surprised to hear that, and he looks at Tohru]

... r--really?

[immortalhand]

[He looks toward Yuu.]

At least... that's what I've come to believe.

[hearnolie]

No-- no I mean, your opinion of Keita improved?

[immortalhand]

Ah... Yes.

[hearnolie]

Really!? B-because he turned himself in..? W-well, it was kind of really brave of him, even if it was bothersome for us.

[immortalhand]

... You seem happy.

[hearnolie]

I just didn't think anyone would have had a better opinion of him after that. I guess I just kept thinking of all those question those journalists made, but-- it's comforting to know your opinion. You're right when you said a single one can hold much more power.

[immortalhand]

There aren't many who know the hidden truths behind the story.
