30. remaining gifts

[ifbymyhands]

*Kano's room has a lot less space than usual. It's been taken over by a pile of gifts from the Three Lights' adoring fanbase during the virus. There are cascades of flowers, both in bouquets and by themselves. Tons of plushies. Fan letters with photos. A beach ball. Various pairs of panties that she really hopes are clean. Whatever you throw at a boy band while they're on stage or try to have sent to their dressing room, she's got them.*

Hey, guys.

*Kano rubs the back of her head.*

So... I can't keep all this stuff. I don't have enough room for it -- hey, you know I told you those weren't for playing with!

*A small dog, one of Kano's strays, hops onto the bed with somebody's bra on its head.*

...yeah. Uh, guys? Anybody want any of this?

What's wrong with animals?

[denies]

Nothing in particular, but usually people don't just have animals as their friends, right? [ ange, your only friends are paperweights, you have no right at all to say this. ]

[ifbymyhands]

They like me, and I understand them, so that's that.

[denies]

As long as it makes you happy, that's fine. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.

You sound like a disappointed parent.

[denies]

So you're saying I usually don't sound like that?

[ it's difficult to tell if it's meant as a joke or not.. ]

...point.
