I'm different too. We all are. There's no way you could say in a place like this without any change.

[There's just too much happening at any given moment. ...But how to feel about it, on the other hand...]

Do you like the way you've changed?

[eyeswideopen]

Yes. [He doesn't even hesitate. As much as he has doubts that he's worthy of the people who give a damn about him...]

I'm actually invited to functions. I'm not hated. I have a life and...friends. Mm, it's not the most exciting life but I don't care. I still think I'm not worth any of the troubles, but at the same time...I believe in all of you.

I believe in you. And...maybe...no, I am starting to believe a little in myself.

Do you like how you've changed, Silver?

[feistytrader]

[...There's a decent sized pause as he considers how to answer that; there's no simple happy answer that comes immediately.]

I don't know.

[That's the most honest answer he can really give, but it's also not a very helpful one.]

I don't know if I like it, but I don't know if I dislike it, either. But even if I don't know, it's the way I am now, and all I can do is look forward.

[It's not the kindest answer, but it's all he has.]

[eyeswideopen]

[It's not good or bad. It just is. Nearly a year ago he wouldn't have been satisfied with it. Something not hope or despair is...lackluster. Now however, he laughs softly.]

I suppose I should have expected that! Silver, even if you hadn't liked the person you are now...one thing this place taught me is. [His voice lowers a fraction as he finishes cleaning up the desk.] We can change.

No. People are always changing. The person we were yesterday isn't who we will be the next day. So long as we're connected to others we'll always shift somehow.

Mmm, but I don't mean to ramble on. What I'm saying is. Take your time finding your answers. No matter what they are, I'll stand with you.

[feistytrader]

...You're right. And the people I'm connected to, well, that's not bad at all.

[Except for Junko, but that's not going to last very long, now is it.]

I can't tell you what to do with your, uh... classmate. [Classmate? IS that a good thing to call him?] That's your decision. But if you need any help, let me know, okay?

[eyeswideopen]

[Classmate is well, uh fine. He has yet to figure out the other possible, erm term.]

...I'll let you know. I suspect it's going to be difficult. Whatever he does anyway. I did quite a lot of things back on the islands. Mmm, sometimes he's very predictable.
