This cat is evil...! How dare she scratch me on this most important day! It's meant for love and closeness, not for evil cats! How am I supposed to show my love...?!

[ KIRIKA CAN'T FIND OUT THE SECRET, OKAY. Even though Usagi basically outted herself by accident to the rest of the community. She'll just have to try harder now! ]

Yes, that's right! And she said she was happy to see I made a new friend! [ ... ] Except then she said 'if you were as good at studying as you are at making friends your grades wouldn't be so bad'.. [ Her tone drops. ]

At least you show up for school... [Kirika can't say anything at all on that. She's a chronic skipper, after all.]

[ She gasps! Not really that she's judging the other girl though, maybe more amazed she gets away with it.. ]

You mean you never go to school?!

[She shrugs and rubs the back of her neck.]

Not often. It really isn't my kind of place. [Beat.] I go when I'm forced, though.

.. W.. well, it isn't really my kind of place too, I mean.. I'm no good at studying at all, but I like hanging out with my friends there, that's why I go! That, and Mama would be super mad if I didn't.

Don't you want to go there with your friends..?

My classmates are one of the reasons I don't want to go. I couldn't call them my friends. [Usagi is really from a different way of life... She sounds like Oriko.] But I do have friends! I have Oriko and now I have Usagi!

.. Huh? You're saying you didn't any other friends, just that Oriko girl?

[ INJUSTICE. Usagi's philosophy is that everyone should be friends with everyone, so people being friendless is impossible! But then again, isn't it her job to make those people not friendless..? ]

Then I'll be your friend for sure, yes! We'll become really good friends, don't worry!

Y-yeah, I guess I don't.

[WAIT WHAT. Oh wait. There's the love thing from the string, so... Usagi gets a hug.]

Usagi...! We'll be best friends forever!

[ Honestly, Usagi just accepted the whole string thing - even if it came out of nowhere, it was fun to get a new friend, right? It's what she's focused on so much that she can't even find it weird. ]

Hehe, we can do so many fun things..! We can eat cake together and read manga-- oh, and I can show the arcade! The guy that works there is so cute..! [ HAPPILY HUGGING HER BACK. Honestly, no problems here, this all sounds great. ]

We can eat sweets and have sleepovers and it'll be so much fun!

Sleepovers?! Does that mean we'll get to stay up all night? [ shiny eyes..! .. but wait. ] But I like sleep too.. oh no, this choice is so difficult!

We'll skip school tomorrow and you can sleep then. [OBVIOUSLY]

R.. really?! But there's no way Mama will let me skip school, she'd scold me so much if I would ever skip..! She already gets mad when I'm just late!

That's only if she catches you.

I thought she would though.. Somehow she always knows it when I've done something wrong, even if I don't tell her! It's super weird.

That just means you're honest. Nothing wrong with that. [Kirika pauses.] It also means your ma cares a lot about you.

... [ Her look turns a little more down, and she gives a nod. ] W-.. well, it's true that Mama really does care about me, and I'm glad she does.. even at times where it's annoying.

Hey... [O-oh, no, that's not good.] It's a good thing! No need to look all sad, okay? You'll make me start tearing up.

A.. ah, I'm sorry! [ She sniffs, wiping her face a little before she tries to look a little better. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't want to make you cry.. I'm fine!
