What is with you guys and always cleaning?

[smallpackaging]

You have to eat something. Come on, get up.

[righteous_pen]

I don't want anything.

[He holds on to a chair, pulling himself up.]

But I have to. You're right.

[smallpackaging]

You handled that much more gracefully than my brother.

*She giggles, and goes to poke through the fridge.*

[righteous_pen]

...yes. About that.

[There's something he probably should have said.]

[smallpackaging]

Uh oh.

[righteous_pen]

We were in the drug room. And I - as far as I remember, insisted on trying to feed him potato chips. Because you were worried about him.

[smallpackaging]

...that's really bizarely adorable. Did he eat them? What's oniichan like when he's stoned?

[righteous_pen]

He - told me I was beautiful. Well, that everything was. Glowing. Probably some kind of hallucinogen. And no, he didn't eat them.

My point was, I told him that I knew you, and I... don't think he took it well.

[smallpackaging]

That's okay, Mr Mikami. He'll be irritated, but he's always annoyed with something.

[righteous_pen]

...it's not the end of the world.

[smallpackaging]

Nothing ever is, no matter how bad it seems. None of us are important enough to end the whole world.

[righteous_pen]

[He sits down, at the table, hands resting in front of him.]

Or save it.

[smallpackaging]

Do you think one person has ever really changed the world, all on their own?

[righteous_pen]

Well, y-

...I don't know.

[smallpackaging]

I mean martyrs, and everything, and leaders of social change are probably famous because they were at the head of a social wave. Like if it hadn't been Luther, it would have been Bob, you know?
