[ as usual, he gets down on a knee to be on her level, but this time he puts a hand on her shoulder with a soft smile. ]
I know we don't really know each other or anything, but... I think you're a champ, Katie. Anyone, anything gives you a problem, you can come tell me, okay?
To be fair, a lot of adults are assholes. [ he laughs a little. ] But no, I get you... I'm sorry it's been rough. It sounds like it's time to start turning that around for you, though, y'know?
[ THE WAY I JUST SLEPT ON THIS THE WHOLE WEEK AAAAAA!! today, ichiban is hanging out at the midsummer island beach; it's been weeks since they were first introduced to the location, yes, but... hey. people have their favorites, and ichiban was only able to experience so much before things abruptly ended for him. kate's presence is always welcome, of course; he waves her over to where he's standing at the water's edge before taking a seat in the sand. ]
...Yeah, I'd like that. [ he smiles at her. ] You already know that we can see what goes on over on the other side, but it's not the same as actually... y'know, being there. [ ... ] So, how've you been?
[ it would be strange to just say "good" after her monster-possessed murder spree. ]
Not that it was all bad before. I found new things to enjoy every day, and made a lot of wonderful memories with the people around me. Laudna worked hard to make the house a home for all of us, and Yuffie looked out for me much like a big sister would.

no subject
[ he rubs the back of his neck. ]
...Dumb question, and feel free to tell me to shut up, but... how are you holdin' up?
no subject
It's not dumb. It's kind of you to ask.
... I'm all right. This place... it's similar to where I came from. I'm used to it.
no subject
...What part of it? You don't mean the monster murder mystery cult, do you?
no subject
Monsters... I'm not so sure about.

[ looking back at him with an unreadable expression. but she sounds touched. ]
... Thank you. I wonder how different things might be if I'd met an adult like you sooner.

Week 6, Monday
It's been a while... Maybe we could catch up a little?
