“First, I wanna point out that you look very cute in your cow shirt, Nariko!” You begin with praises to raise the OG hobo’s spirits after an exhausting torture session.
“Thank you, dear Johnny!” Stroking Nariko’s ego fully healed her.
“Guess who bought it?” Yu Yan smirks.
“I did, with my family’s money.” Nariko glares back.
“...Guess whose idea it was to buy it?” Yu Yan maintains her grin despite the new information. “Don’t look at me like that, Nariko, you were the one who wanted to expand your wardrobe to be as big as your tummy is.”
“D-DON’T SAY IT LIKE THAT!” Nariko hates being called out. “I-I merely had a desire for more casual clothing. Fashionable attires are far too tight for everyday use.”
“And whose fault is that?” Yu Yan won’t stop teasing as she looks at Nariko’s concentrations of fat. The OG Hobo looks away with indignation.
"It’s pretty great all the same.” You interfere to stop the bullying. “Moving on, Nariko, do you have any interest in music?”
“Johnny, she’s an honor student from some fancy hellhole, I bet she plays the cello or some shit.” Yu Yan could bet her life on it. “Tell him I’m right, Nariko.”
“My interest in music has nothing to do with my status but with trying to impress my family, Yu.” Nariko retorts. It seems it didn’t work. “But yes, I do play the keyboard.”
“Huh, that’s awesome, Nariko. Didn’t know you had that in you.” Yu Yan is fairly impressed.
“Y-You think so?” Nariko didn’t expect the smaller hobo to be candid.
“I need to hear you play first to be sure. If you blow, you blow.” Yu Yan crosses her arms. “Where’s your keyboard anyway?”
“It seems I lost it during my time in the streets... I wanted to buy a new one when we passed by that store, Yu, but I need to make a conscious decision and look into it more thoroughly, but we’ve been so busy I haven’t had the time.” Nariko expresses her regrets.
“And you, Yu? Do you play something?” You wonder.
“I’m multifaceted, Stud. I can play any instrument I can get my fingers on!” Yu Yan pretends she’s playing the air guitar.
“Her attempts to prove it were mixed. The store employee wasn’t thrilled.” Nariko recalls.
