44. honest brutality

[ifbymyhands]

My name is Kirishima Kano.

In the past, I've been known for being exceedingly desperate. I have hit on, attempted to hit on, pathetically pined after, or tried and failed to convince myself and others that I was actually not interested in the following people: half my high school class, who all hated me, half of Kasumi Town, who also didn't like me, a homeless guy with a puppet, myself, the Kyousuke who wasn't a siscon, Kanna, all the guys in the crossdressing pageant, Cure Aqua, actually pretty much everybody because of that one time I tried to mess with everyone by giving them homemade Valentine's Day chocolate instead of storebought, and the guy at the bakery down the street.

Also, I might like trying to mess with dangerous people, but that's probably because I'm too used to having a death wish and I don't know what else to do.

Finally, I have absolutely no regrets for the incident that got me banned from the Mysterious Library for a year, and if Kyousuke hadn't disappeared, along with pretty much all my other friends so I have no one to joyride around the multiverse with, I'd totally do it again.

This virus can go die in a hole.

(Kano's got Dirty Little Secret today for grab bag!)

...ah.

[ifbymyhands]

I was fifteen and stupid!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Wait, what are you suggesting?

[ifbymyhands]

I'm suggesting don't judge me or get all weird? What do you think I'm suggesting?

[oceanicbutterfly]

That being attracted to me is stupid?

[ifbymyhands]

You don't like it when I say you have a harem and now you don't like it when I say I don't want to be in it.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Those are two extreme ends of a spectrum.

[ifbymyhands]

What would you call reasonable?

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't know. Not those.

[mightletyouknowme]

Huh? And none of it worked?

[ifbymyhands]

Pathetic, yeah.

[mightletyouknowme]

That's weird, you're cute enough.

[ifbymyhands]

Ask the fans of the thing I'm from. I can count the inappropriate pictures on one hand.

[mightletyouknowme]

It's not like you want them to have gross pictures of you.

[ifbymyhands]

It'd mean they like me more.

[mightletyouknowme]

It means they're perverts. Guys can like any cute girl that way, so it doesn't matter.

[ifbymyhands]

Perverts are funny.

[blamemysister]

Tis quite the list.

[ifbymyhands]

Yeah, pretty much.

[blamemysister]

A rough life for the most part.

[ifbymyhands]

I'm just unlucky, that's all!

[blamemysister]

Is it truly poor luck or a power on high?

[ifbymyhands]

I doubt someone's haunting me. At least not anymore.

[blamemysister]

Not anymore? Thy hath had spirits haunting you once before?

[ifbymyhands]

I was possessed for a long time. Long story.
