Friendships of convenience can evolve into real friendships. Often times characters who are forced together will end up bonding, whether they intend to or not. Aoi doesn't think you should worry about it too much.
[Anyway, he's falling quiet as he gathers these balls, and focuses his attention on remembering how to juggle. He seems to struggle a moment at first as he remembers how to do this, but after a few seconds he seems to get the hang of it?]
no subject
What about you?
no subject
Still, I think it would be good for you to make friends.
[Ah, he's found some balls.]
no subject
[ just ignoring that last thing he said. yep. ]

Ooh!! When Aoi tried, Aoi just dropped everything on the ground!
no subject
I'd teach you, but it's hard to explain the timing right now because I've become bad with numbers this week.
[Anyway;]
Do you not want to have friends, miss Aoi?
no subject
[ ... ]
... Aoi... Can have friends if it's relevant to the story. Aoi isn't sure it's relevant to this story.
no subject
no subject
Aoi doesn't want to distract anyone.
no subject
What if Aoi is the main character in this game, though?

I can feel your heart beating, Aoi. I can remember the warmth of your breath, too. Even if it's not real, you're definitely alive.
no subject
It would be strange if Aoi was written to not breathe - to not have a heart beat. So Aoi is a character who has those things.
no subject
By that logic, couldn't you argue that you were written to be alive?
no subject
anyway she nods tentatively... ]
Aoi was written to make sense in the world Aoi is in. But it's a fake world, and Aoi is fake.
no subject
So what? Even if it's fake, what do you lose by treating it as if it's real? If you've only ever been fake, what's the difference?
no subject
Aoi... Never used to think about this kind of thing before.
no subject
It's probably normal not to think about something like that, one way or the other. But I've been thinking about that sort of thing here.
And I decided that I'd rather just enjoy my time here with you and everyone else.
no subject
[ ... ]
Is there anything Aoi can do to make you happy? So that you enjoy your time more?
no subject
Mm, well, I'd say I enjoy my time here more if I could make you happy, Aoi. But I suppose that just puts us in a loop, doesn't it?
no subject
[ what would end the loop, then? ]
Aoi is already happy.
