doublecrows | [Prologue, Sunday: Sousei]

Congratulations on your survival, Sousei-san.

[is that something you really congratulate someone on. . .]

Were you concerned?

[. . . oh. it's kind of nice to hear someone tell him that]

That's what I believe as well. And yet, he continues to push my boundaries.

Then continue to push him away. You do not owe him anything.

[This is terrible.]

[SOUSEI IS A GREAT ROLE MODEL]

Is that the approach you're taking with Jae-Ha-san?

[HE DOES HIS BEST

Also that gets a sour look out of him.]

Yes.

[BAH...]

He is persistent, and irritating.

[MOOD]

Perhaps with enough continued persistence in opposition, he'll eventually give up.

That is certainly my hope. Presumably Tenshouin shall as well, if you hold firm.

Well, if you ever need to complain to someone, I'm always open. As someone else with a pushy partner.

[... Uh huh.]

I am fine, thank you.

[He's Sousei, he's been stoic since he was six.]

... Do not listen to anything he says, though.

[he's listening to some things Eichi says. . . but filtering out most of it]

I appreciate your encouragement.
