Oh. I... hadn't heard about it before.

[teenrebellion]

She said they were a Djinni, but I don't really know what that means, where she's from. [ shrugs. ] She had it with her a lot. You really didn't notice?

[ which sounds rude on the surface maybe but he's really just surprised? ]

[psynchroneyes]

—Wait, that little thing she carried around?

[ me crying somehow this never came up ]

[teenrebellion]

Ah. So you did see them. But she never introduced you...?

[psynchroneyes]

We only talked sometimes, so...

[teenrebellion]

[ right. ]

Well, I guess you're not missing a lot. Like I said, Haze can't talk here. They mostly just hang out and sleep... kind of like a cat?

[psynchroneyes]

Hmm... Maybe whatever comes along with us is only capable of talking to who brought it? Even back home, I'm the only one who hears Aiba when she's in my eyesocket, so that's not unusual.

[teenrebellion]

If that's the case, Sheba never mentioned it.

...It does make you look a little funny when you're talking to yourself in public, though.

[psynchroneyes]

[ To that, Aiba doesn't even try to hide the snicker she gives off. ]

Yeah, yeah, I know... Look, it's easy to slip up.

[teenrebellion]

[ aiba can have an amused grin for that. ]

Are you still trying to keep it a secret? It's not like anyone here will care.

[psynchroneyes]

... Nah, I figured.

[ They exchange glances, then: ]

I'm just used to needing to, and also... I dunno, I didn't want everybody asking weird questions, but that was before I knew everyone as much as I do now.

[teenrebellion]

Have you tried just not being weird? [ lol ] I think you'll be fine. You're not the weirdest person here or the only one who's lost an eye, just the only one with an eye that talks.

[ glances at aiba ]

What's with the ant thing, anyway?

[psynchroneyes]

[ Wow damn, thanks Kazuki. At least Aiba seems more enthused to respond. ] Oh, it isn't just ants! Do you not have a fascination with insects? They are all truly magnificent!

[teenrebellion]

[ he's allowed to joke. but he just gazes at aiba like ?? ]

No, bugs aren't really my thing.

[psynchroneyes]

No? Hm... A shame.

[teenrebellion]

I've got other things to focus on besides bugs. [ not hard to figure out what. ] Maybe you could talk to Gregor-san about that.

[psynchroneyes]

—Ugh, don't get her started on him. I've been avoiding figuring out how to ask a guy about his bug arm for weeks.

[teenrebellion]

[ I'm sorry he just. laughs. this is too funny. ]

[psynchroneyes]

—I'm serious! What are you supposed to say?! Isn't that kind of rude?

[teenrebellion]

No, it definitely is. [ but it's still funny. ] Maybe you just start with asking about the actual bug? Just use that to segue into it somehow. I don't know.

[psynchroneyes]

I think that's a wonderful idea! Mizuki, I could relay everything you need to say—

—I am not making anyone think I have a sudden interest in roaches.

[teenrebellion]

[ laughing. ]

You could just tell him that your eye's the one that's interested.

[psynchroneyes]

... I wonder if he'd buy that.

[teenrebellion]

Weren't you just saying you could trust people with knowing about Aiba-san more now? You could just tell him.

[psynchroneyes]

[ wow, so Aiba gets the -san treatment now ]

Well, yeah, but this is a delicate situation! Maybe. I don't know how sensitive he is about that.
