[It isn't the response he expects, but something else. He reads it, again and again—and each time he does, those words slowly fill him, until he no longer feels like he's sinking. Lila doesn't blame Atem, but she expresses her disappointment.

He didn't realize how much he would appreciate seeing that.]

I will... I promise.

[She doesn't want him to feel bad by himself. He smiles.]

You've changed, since I've been gone. You're somehow... softer. It's nice. I want to kiss you.

[god. EMBARRASSING]

don't you dare tell anybody i'm soft. i'm fucking terrifying.

you can kiss me if you want, i'm, like, here. i live downstairs, komaeda. or does i want to kiss you mean i want to lowkey pine?

[She accepts even the latter because she is, disgracefully, kinda soft about him.]

[luckless]

I like pining for you, it makes the moment I get to finally see you again so much more interesting!

[But... she's right. He could just go downstairs and pull her wispiness into his arms and kiss the approximate location of her mouth.]

Do you want me to come over...? It's not too late, is it?

[gitanes]

komaeda.

i always want you to come over.

[luckless]

[Well, that answers that question. Komaeda looks down at himself—in just a long sleeved shirt and his boxers of course. Sighs. He rolls out of bed and slips on his jeans, appreciating the fact that he doesn't have a tail to maneuver in the whole ordeal.

His reply to her doesn't come, at least, not over the network. Instead it comes with a knock at her door a few minutes later. It's purely polite, and also because he still doesn't have a key to her apartment, but he stands there patiently.

If she wants this kiss, she has to come get it.]
