I, uh....! Lenore-san, that's not.... [oh noooooo] We... We barely know each other! So that's - that's so nice of you, I don't really know what to do with it to be honest.
But I, uh. Um. .... I don't.... know if I can do stuff like that - here.
I don't... think 'uncomfortable' is the word? It's more like... I guess I'm just surprised. Sorry. I don't really know what to say to this sort of thing - I'm pretty unpopular back home...
But - I think you're really nice. I think you're crazy pretty. I think that you're really cute and sweet and.... I'm really happy we're getting along better.
[ . . . ]
I just - It's a little too complicated for me... to think of... feelings and stuff here.
[perhaps mercifully, she'll take back one of her hands -- the one that was pressed against his chest.]
I wouldn't overthink it so much, though. I may be a romantic, but I know well that this is no place to go looking for a soulmate. Time spent with humans is always so brief, to begin with. I just want to share a few happy moments with someone, before we all have to go our separate ways again.
[wow! good for lenore so that means that she no longer has to deal with feeling his absolutely insane heartbeat underneath her hand, like it was threatening to leap right out of his chest]
I....
[he flusters a little bit before his expression just turns to one that's - soft. sentimental.]
.... I hope you find one. Your soulmate. Your person who'll be there for you through anything and everything. I... I think that's what I want, and I don't know if I'm cool or casual enough to be able to do anything less than giving my all to somebody.
But I'll support you while we're here - however I can.

The truth is, I was really happy when you told me you'd start helping me. Not just because somebody would be there for me... but because it was you.
no subject
Because it was me...?
no subject
[she stays in the embrace, but she pulls away just enough to look up at him properly.]
I like you.
no subject
he just laughs a little bit at that]
—I like you too, Lenore-san. Who wouldn't?
no subject
I'm... not sure you understand my meaning.
But I am happy that you feel that way.
no subject
oh?
he startles at that a little because - does. she mean? does she mean......?]
.... ha?
But -
................. ha?
no subject
You don't have to feel the same way. I'm happy enough just to spend time with you.
But, if you ever wanted to...

[oh
oh god he's turning so red oh god]
I, uh....! Lenore-san, that's not.... [oh noooooo] We... We barely know each other! So that's - that's so nice of you, I don't really know what to do with it to be honest.
But I, uh. Um. .... I don't.... know if I can do stuff like that - here.
no subject
That's all right. You already do so much for me. I couldn't possibly ask for more.
... I hope I haven't made you uncomfortable.

I suppose there are still a lot of other ways to have a few happy moments, anyway.
no subject
[even if he looks a little flustered at the comment]
But - yeah, I think so too. A lot of the people here are really nice.

Some of you really are too nice for your own good.
But others... perhaps too nice to be believed. Somebody's committing these murders, and I'm sure we haven't found all the killers.
