That's right. [ Nodnod. In fact, in the next couple of days, Milla will probably notice that their house will suddenly have... A power outlet, and a phone charger by the bed.
... Not yet, though. ]
Mm, that's true. You never know where we might visit next.
For now, could I perhaps have a look over the item itself? Perhaps even without its power source, you could walk me through some of its physical features.
[As she takes the phone, their fingers touch—the slightest, barest brush, and not for much more than a millisecond at most. Still, it seems enough. Whatever she was about to ask is cut off by a nearly-electric shock of the induced memory exchange.
...To speak bluntly, Akane, you are an extremely likable and sociable person. Are you certain it isn't just a misconception of other people's feelings towards you?

Date: 2019-06-19 09:34 pm (UTC)[ Despite it being dead, Akane still carries it around everywhere. She takes her phone out of her pocket and holds it out for Milla.
The screen is still cracked from the top left. It's an iphone-esque phone. ]

So does this button here--
[As she takes the phone, their fingers touch—the slightest, barest brush, and not for much more than a millisecond at most. Still, it seems enough. Whatever she was about to ask is cut off by a nearly-electric shock of the induced memory exchange.
And, completely unbidden, the answer to Akane's previous prying flows out of Milla, and into Akane—as Akane's own passes into her.
Milla's mouth hangs open, acutely aware of the exchange that just took place.]
Um.
Hmm.

Date: 2019-06-20 10:14 pm (UTC)As she pulls back, Akane just. Blinks.
She looks uncomfortable for a moment, but then smiles brightly, like she always does. ]
Who was that? A boyfriend?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-21 11:08 am (UTC)Okay. Well.]
That was Jude. That--It's who I gave the pedant to.
[There's another pause before she returns fire.]
And that boy on the lakeside with you? Who was he?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-21 07:34 pm (UTC)[ More importantly!!! ]
So... a boyfriend?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-22 11:00 am (UTC)[She knits her brow.]
Jude is a close friend. I treasure him deeply.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 02:29 am (UTC)[ MORE. IMPORTANTLY. ]
Treasure him? Like... Romantically?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 03:08 am (UTC)[Milla tilts her head.]
Romantically? I... hmm.
I think the connection we share is beyond the definition of romance.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 03:10 am (UTC)[ Akane waves her hand dismissively. NOT!!!! IMPORTANT!!! ]
... Eh? [ wtf does that mean. ]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 03:21 am (UTC)[She shakes her head, completely skipping over Akane's own confusion.]
Was her perhaps a childhood friend?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 03:25 am (UTC)Nothing like that. I was just curious about him, ever since the amnesia thing. I don't have any childhood friends or anything like that.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 03:26 am (UTC)[She cannot imagine Akane not having friends.]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 03:31 am (UTC)Nothing like that! I am an only child, but it's just a matter of not being good with stuff like that!

Date: 2019-06-23 03:41 am (UTC)Mm, it's different here, though. It's hard back home, too, but this place is...
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 03:59 am (UTC)Could it be that you feel more comfortable here than you did in your own home?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 04:04 am (UTC)This place? Not even a little! My home was perfect, it was way better! I was in control of everything, there! This place is the total opposite!
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 04:36 am (UTC)Then... why the lack of friends? Are you simply a solitary person?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 04:52 am (UTC)You can't tell you me haven't noticed!
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 05:23 am (UTC)I, for example, am very fond of you.

Date: 2019-06-23 06:11 am (UTC)Would you care to share more? I doubt it will overly change my opinion of you.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-23 07:00 pm (UTC)You can't know that.
