SAYO: “Yes, as you can see, a player that is being pocketed, that is one that a medic player is focusing their attention on, typically has a higher chance of survival in any engagement. As such, a pocket medic is rather desirable for most people playing classes such as Demoman, Solider, or Heavy. Even other classes like Scout, Engineer, and Pyro can greatly benefit from a pocket, though typically the heavy and solider are the most common to receive one.” Sayo coughs into her hand, seemingly embarrassed for no reason.
THE CHASE - Ask her what’s wrong. Be attentive to her needs, and she’ll never want to leave you. She’ll never even consider it a possibility.
THE LADY - I concur, though that scoundrel’s reasoning is as always off-putting. Rather, the correct decision is to inquire into Lady Hikawa’s sudden shyness, as that is what a proper lady would do.
CHISATO - “What’s wrong, Sayo-chan? I don’t see what could be embarrassing about, uh, ‘pocketing’? Am I saying that right?”
THE DIRECTOR - Your pronunciation was impeccable. To pretend that you were worried you might have gotten it wrong is unbelievable. A failing grade. You are assigned an hour of rehearsal tonight.
THE DOLL - No, no if she thinks you’re better then her, she’ll hate you, you have to be small please, please be small, you can’t let her hate you.
THE CHASE - Kiss her, kiss her now, don’t let her ruminate on your mistake, give her pleasure so she forgets, don’t let her get away.
SAYO - “You said it correctly, Shirasagi-san.”
THE DOLL - Tell her to call you by your first name. She’s your friend isn’t she, she has to be, she said so before, so tell her to call you by your first name.
THE LADY - She isn’t simply your friend, as disgusting as it is. No, Lady Hikawa is the target of your affections, and as such, distance is to be maintained. You are not yet, wed, after all.
SAYO - “But, ahem, my… embarrassment comes from what I wish to ask you, Shirasagi-san. Would you be… open to playing this game with me? And taking the role of my pocket medic?”
THE DOLL - SHE WANTS TO PLAY WITH US? SHE WANTS TO PLAY? YES!
THE WALL - Tell her no. To get too close to another is to relinquish the right to your own existence. Has Sayo truly proven herself? Will she not use you like all the others? Why continue this charade, this saccharine attempt at some sort of relationship with another human being. End it now.
THE CHASE - This is your opportunity. Someone like Sayo inviting you to play games with her is tantamount to accepting you as her girlfriend. This is what you want most, isn’t it?
THE LOVER - I think it would make Sayo-chan happy if you say yes. I think that’s a good enough reason as any.
CHISATO - “I… I would like to give it a chance. I’m not sure that I will be any good at it, though. I have only played a few….”
SAYO - “First-person shooters?”
CHISATO - “Yes, those.”
SAYO - “This is embarrassing to admit, but I have an ulterior motive in this. I wish to spend more time with you, Shirasagi-san. So even if you are not fantastic at the game, you will still be helping me out… i-if that makes sense.”
THE LOVER - Sayo is such a thoughtful, kind person. She deserves the world, don’t you think?
THE CHASE - She’s in your trap now. Take her, she’s yours.
THE LADY - An offer such as this should be considered fully before it is accepted. This is the least you own Lady Hikawa.
CHISATO - “I… Sayo-chan, you’re awfully sweet, aren’t you?”
SAYO - Sayo blushes, looking away from you. She is smiling.
THE WALL - Is this some bizarre attempt at suicide. Do you want to let her hurt you, you fucking moron?
THE LOVER - She’s… she’s beautiful.
CHISATO - “I would love to. I’ll be in your care while we play Team Fortress 2 together, Sayo-chan.”
SAYO - Sayo still too embarrassed to look you in the eye, nods slightly. You catch her muttering something under her breath.
THE CHASE - What the fuck is a pocket gf?
