Oh, I hope so. It would be nice, right? I know Winter has that... shack.

[ the rat shack ]

[amain]

[ DOn'T CALL KAINE'S SHACK A RAT SHACK!!! ]

Better put Claude to work then, Annie.

[departea]

I think Dimitri said he would help, too.

[amain]

Good for you, right? Seeing both of your crushes work on a treehouse for you.

[ Shirtless men! Maybe! ]

[departea]

[ slfsjlgjsdg she coughs ]

It's not just for me.

[amain]

Who else?

[ don't look at him ]

[departea]

They definitely have other friends here, Nier.

[ she's looking ]

[amain]

[ don't call him out on his side dish of a gay crush annie ]

The appeal is that this tree house and their work is for you.

[departea]

I'm fine with sharing the work.

[amain]

... After everything that has happened to you, you deserve to be a little selfish, Annie.

[departea]

... you're the second person to tell me that here.

[ she sighs. ]

A little hard.

[amain]

... It is hard, but it's nice.

[ He gets it. ]

I've been trying to be a little more selfish here, too.

[departea]

Has it been working for you?

[ trying and succeeding are different. ]

[amain]

... I still wonder if I deserve the nice things that happen, but I accept whatever people give me. Our time here is short.

[ A couple of weeks is short! ]

I think it's been working.

[departea]

... good. Even if you don't think you deserve the good, I think that you should just hold onto what you get as tightly as you can while you still have it.

[ especially in a place like this, where everything can go wrong so very quickly. ]

[amain]

That applies to you, too.

[ me, watching friday inves in fear ]

Be more aggressive. Or something.

[ don't listen to him he doesn't know what he's saying ]

[departea]

Oh, I can be aggressive.

[ the thing she usually gets aggressive about are just fuckin stupid ]

[amain]

Be aggressive about your happiness, Annie.

[ He has seen her hound people, so he knows. ]

[departea]

Hm, so aggressive they think I'm cursed?

[amain]

Aggressive... Like... In a confident way? People like that, right?

[departea]

I guess so?

But you can be too forward.

[amain]

I think you have enough tact, Annie.

[ don't show him otherwise i am crying ]

[departea]

Oh, I do.

But I can still point it out that there is a limit some people may run over.

[amain]

[ He sighs. ]

Just... Remember you should let yourself be happy, too.

[departea]

... I will. I only have so much time left here with everyone, if we do leave at graduation. So I'd like to spend it as happily as I can manage.

[ there is so much horribleness but

there's some good too. ]
