Duality: Gossip?

Or something close to it! I'm outside FiN.

[he doesn't reply to that, and comes to open the door to FiN instead]

C?

[HOPPING IN]

Duality! Let's go to your room, I have words!

[enjoy the vision that is FiN the gigantic blanket fort]

Ah... all right?

[he turns to lead the way to his room]

[jeezus. gathering up some of those blankets and pillows as they go]

Oh wow, you weren't kidding about this place.

[well okay. he'll close the door behind them once they're in his room]

... it was a good distraction.

[scattering the pillows and blankets and flopping on one once they're in]

Speaking of distractions. . .

You should do a better job of distracting Mori-chan!

[is this after or before the game/fanmail because reasons. he sits down beside C]

... distracting him from what?

[up to you cuz my timeline is wacky due to sick now!!]

Everything! C'mon, does he know that you actually LIKE him now?

[after then for fun truth effect]

No. I haven't mentioned it again.

[SCOOTS CLOSER TO HIM]

Augh, Duality! What are you waiting for? He's HURTING. This is your chance!

[gives him an odd look]

He's hurting?

[grabbing his hands!!]

Weeeell, I promised I wouldn't meddle, so I can't say too much! But think about it--Mori-chan's only returned recently, right? Friends have come and gone, he's got to get used to a whole bunch of new faces. Not only that, a classmate of yours has arrived, and I'm sure that's been a whole thing for you guys.

And, well, I think Mori-chan is lonely. It was a long time ago, but did you know, he used to have a crush on B?

You do know talks to me too? I'm not oblivious, C. You make it sound like I don't know anything.

[he frowns]

He's talked to Hardcore, and their relationship isn't really my business, but I think it's better than it was.

[... he just nods at that last part, he figured that was a thing]

Obviously. You guys are like besties, right? But that doesn't mean he's telling you everything. I don't tell Silver everything, after all!

[a grin, leaning back]

Anyway, that was a long time ago! I think poor Mori-chan is closing off his heart. A first crush stomped into dust, and then he was whisked away to who knows where in hell! What if he gets taken again? He might not think he can get close to anyone. . .

So you gotta break him outta it.

...

[you basically want me to take advantage of his emotional vulnerability while threatening that if I don't, everything is ruined?]

[WELL WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY]

[YES]

Hm? You look concerned.

... he's my friend, above anything else. He doesn't need my ... ... this... on top of everything else when he's not okay.

You make it sound like I'll ruin everything if I don't take advantage of it.

. . .

Heeeeey, Duality.

Do you think you'll ruin what you have? If you were truthful?

[he looks away]

I've never considered these feelings before, and if they're not actually more than just infatuation, I'll hurt him further.

And how do you know if it's merely infatuation if you're not even confident enough to explore it?

[it's new and he's apprehensive, okay!]

... I am going to tell him. Just...

[he doesn't know when]

Ahaha. . .that's a shame. Well, you can't rush these things.

But let me give you some advice! Or maybe you already know it about Mori-chan.

[he just sighs]

What?
