He glances back down at the photos, looking over them for a long moment.]
Don't say it like that.
[After a minute or two, he picks out one. He reaches up to put it on the cork board with the other things he has collected. Him in the stupid mascot uniform, and Manwol beside him.]
here riku, have some genuine surprise from Manwol -- because for all she's seen of Riku so far, she still hadn't expected this for some reason. Even though he had told her she was part of his dorm back the night before her supposed expulsion. Even though he had been kind to her.
now she's surprised, confused, AND touched. riku can sense all of that im crying]
I knew it. Red really is my color.
[riku's black and red costume really suits her lip color... she'd say, but he can probably tell that she's just saying that because she's embarrassed now. help.]
[Sometimes an angsty, edgy teenage boy surprises you.
He doesn't bother trying to look at her, so she's free to not give herself away. Then again, he can feel the embarrassment, and that's enough understanding for him right now. He doesn't have to look.
Instead, he looks over the board, including the picture he just added.]
[She's still embarrassed, because she knows that he knows she's embarrassed and is probably playing along only for her benefit, but she's also grateful too?? wow emotion share week is terrible]
Hmph. That doesn't explain the others though.
[implying that no one else looks good in red??? jk she's just embarrassed,]
Anyway, that's all I wanted to give you. That and a box with more photos in my room. It has pictures of everyone else in it. You can pass them out to everyone just in case.
[Can't believe for once, Riku has a one-up on someone when it comes to being embarrassed. WOW. She gets the gremlin sort of amused feelings from him, but he doesn't call any attention to her embarrassment openly.
He should, but he won't. He's had character development.]
Thanks for the pictures. But I'm not letting you shove that duty off on me. So you can stop talking like it's going to happen.
[She literally almost died, like, the first week. BUT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. "People voted for her." Because Manwol is stupid, self-sacrificial Sora aligned.]
Manwol senses gremlin!riku and pouts for a moment, but it actually is kind of funny that Riku is gremlinkin, suddenly their dorm makes so much sense. it lightens her mood a little,]
I'm just trying to be responsible! That's my duty as the only adult in this dorm now.

Responsibly shouldering your photos of everyone off on me as a last farewell because you think you're kicking the bucket? Not gonna happen.
no subject
Well, now it sounds bad when you put it that way.
[never mind it's back to POUTING!!! she was just trying to be a "Mature Adult" like CALBE. WWCD]
It's not like I want to get murdered anymore. I've learned my lesson.
