[Rinku nods. She's got questions, but the main topic has grabbed her attention, the other stuff can wait. As she listens to Korone explain her past, she sways from side to side.]

Because you want to live...

[She makes a contemplative noise and screws up her face. Ooh, Ramune. Rinku grabs a bottle of yuzu flavour and pops it open, giggling a little at the dropping marble, before she gets back to the topic.]

I guess that kinda thing happens sometimes, huh. No matter what world you're in, sometimes things just keep happening around the same people? And sometimes it's fun and exciting things, but sometimes it's all the scary stuff too, huh...

Neechan told me it's okay to not be used to it. And a couple other people said I shouldn't make myself get used to it, or try to be okay with it, because... I dunno how to explain it. I think that makes sense too, though. Like... it's important to be who you are, even if you gotta do all this stuff.

["...I think if I actually forgot everything that scared me, maybe that'd be worse. I wouldn't know what to do if it happened again. And everyone would worry even more than they do now."]

And... people didn't like it when you chose? Even though it was important?
