Mikan

[....A blank look.]

....Do people here say that to you?

[discerp]

[She pauses for a moment to think about this, then slowly shakes her head.]

B-but! That's probably... Because they don't know me, so...

[Sorry, what is self-esteem? Can you eat it??]

I-I'm sure even you think I'm annoying that this point, r-right?

[freezetheheavens]

It's because they don't know you here that you may be able to start anew.

[A stare.]

No, I don't. [Should he be annoyed?]

[discerp]

[?? ?????]

You... don't? You really don't? [She seems genuinely shocked by this, which is really just kind of sad]

[freezetheheavens]

I don't.

[He repeats it again, though he does study her. Just what kind of hell did you go through to have such a reaction?]

[discerp]

[To which Mikan just.

Starts crying.

It's not a scene-making sort of crying, just quiet and full of sniffles and whimpers as she wipes at her face]

Th-th-thank yooouuuu...!

[freezetheheavens]

[...No, please don't cry.

Spotting a serving shinki nearby, he waves him over to take a few napkins and just..handing some to her.]

You don't really have to thank me for that.
