[tot]

I'm glad. But—don't sell yourself so short! Of course I'm worried about other people; it's just that I doubt you let people worry about you.

So let me do that, okay? If that ever changes, remember that I'm here for you.

[ don't be such a "mr. tough guy" around her :/ ]

No, no one has bothered me. At least, under what I think is being "bothered".

[regressive]

[ He can be a "Mr. tough guy" around anyone!!! Uta's not his mom. ]

There's no need to worry about me.

[ Old habits die hard. But after a moment, there's another message. ]

Maybe you could sing that song you hummed in the dungeon.
You don't have to if you don't feel like it, though.
It might not be a good moment.

[ Honestly, he feels like a fool for making that request. ]

[tot]

Of course there is!! There is every reason!!! Just you saying that right now makes me worried!

[ laughs how this is one of her songs that she sings after she dies but it's fine. past me had no idea. but! enjoy your recording + download of uta singing the song a cappella (it isn't in reality but pretend). ]

Don't be silly; I'll always be happy to sing if asked to. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that people want to listen to my songs.

[regressive]

[ It's fine!! Also thanks for being here to take me out with Ado songs, I appreciate it a lot. Aaand conveniently ignoring the first part of the message because why would they talk about that? No idea. ]

Your songs give people strength.

[tot]

[ wow how dare you ignore the first part?? but it's fine also you're welcome about taking you out with ado's songs. ]

I really hope that they do, and I know that they also have.

My songs are just as much for others as they are for me.

[regressive]

[ We're even!! ]

Huh?
I always thought it required a lot of strength to... be like you.

[tot]

What do you mean?

I'm only able to be who I am because I have so many people who will support me.

[regressive]

But when you put yourself out there for the very first time, you were alone, weren't you?
That takes some guts.

[tot]

Oh, well, I guess that's true but...

When you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, taking that risk seems a lot less scary—to me anyway. After all, I couldn't get any lonelier than I was.

[regressive]

You don't have anyone?

[ Sometimes, it might be better to just straightforwardly ask. Ironically, it's similar to one of those nothing to lose and everything to gain situations. ]

[tot]

Sort of. Depends on what you mean by "anyone".

[ it sure do help when someone just asks things straightforward like this. ]

[regressive]

[ That answer is concerning for one major reason—he'd most likely reply in a similar way. ]

Family, friends... colleagues, classmates. That sort of thing.

[tot]

[ you know? she could totally lie to him but given both of their histories and how, in some ways, they are same it'd be disrespectful. ]

Then no, I don't have any of those things.

I just have my fans.

[regressive]

[ The answer is delayed by a few minutes because even though he had a hunch this might be Uta's case, it's still surprising. ]

I know at least one person who would love to be your friend.

[tot]

[ !!!!

even if she does has a hunch of where this could go...you never know. ]

Oh? And just who do you think that'd be?

[regressive]

[ YOU NEVER KNOW ]

My little sister.

[tot]

[ you truly never know.... ]

Your little sister? Does she also watch me?

[regressive]

We watch together.
She's always telling me that she'd love to have a friend like you.
She also often asks me if Uta ever gets sad or angry.

[ She's a little smartass (affectionate). ]

[tot]

Is that so? I wouldn't have guessed you would make it into a family affair.

And, well, what answer do you give your sister whenever she asks you those questions?

[regressive]

She's my only family, so...
Anyway.
But I told her that Uta is just like everyone.
She's happy when everyone's looking at her, but there must be times when she's sad or angry.

[tot]

How sweet of you. I'm glad you both can have that experience.

And I see; was she upset to learn that? It seems normal to me but I realize opinions from others can vary.

[regressive]

No, she said that she would sing your favorite song to make you smile.
She's a terrible singer, though.

[tot]

That's not very nice to say! Aren't you supposed to be supportive of your sibling?

But that does bring a smile to my face even if it might be tough. I love every song that I've sung.

[regressive]

She tells me the same thing all the time.

[ They both just can't sing very well and will never miss an opportunity to remind the other of that. ]

I'm sure she'd like to know about other things you like.
There's more to UTA than singing and playing games.

[tot]

Then that just means you should listen to her!

...there is. Sort of. However, I really do love those things as much as I appear to.
