Lui: *waves one hand up dismissively* Just— don't ask.
Me: 0_0

Me: ooooookay. Anyway. Um—
Zac: Oi, Bow, can I ask a question-?
Me: …I-
Me: what's happening? …are the characters just… taking over-?
Silas: yes.
…
Me: …*sigh*
Me: *to Zac* you know what? just… …knock yourself out.
Zac: Splendid! Right, then. Shu, answer me true, mate. Why do you move your hair out of the way to show your scar after every battle?
Shu: …what…?
Silas: *to Shu* Yes, do tell; why do you do that?
Shu: …*looks embarrassed*
Honcho: …is it just me, or is this the first time Shu's actually speechless?
Shu: …
Shu: …um…
…*awkward silence*…
Shu: well, I mean—

Shu: …I guess it's just a habit…?
Everyone: *staring at Shu*
Shu: what? It is!
Ken (Keru): I always thought it was 'cuz you wanted to *Keru strikes a pose* stare down your enemies with both eyes after their crushing defeat~
Shu: …
Valt: I thought you just do it to look cool…
Nikka: *pops head in* And it works! XD
Shu: I- …
Me: yes?
Shu: … *covers face with hands*
Lui: *shrugs* he probably just likes ta show off his scar.
Shu: *looks up* *dryly* …the scar that you gave me…?
Lui: *grins evilly* Yes. The everlasting reminder of the fact that I'm better than you.
Shu: *fuming* Better than me? I shattered Luinor in Evolution!
Lui: *glares at Shu* I shattered Spryzen in Burst!
Me: …okay, HUSH, you guys.
Me: *turns to Zac* Zac-?
Zac: Hm?
Me: You satisfied with the answer?
Zac: oh, right~
Zac: Erm… …yes. Yes I am.
Zac: *to no one in particular* THANK YOU, MY BEAUTIFUL FANS, FOR TUNING IN TODAY FOR CHAPTER THIRTY THREE~~! *strikes a pose and somehow floats up; glitter everywhere*
Me: …I- … you know what? Nevermind. Whatever. It's fine… I'm fine… I'M FINE. *sigh* …I'm fine.
