what if we just
got a big boat and sailed across the horizon
what do you think wed find there

weve been on this island for so long
just this tiny little island
there has to be more than wyver and olympia right?
this world is a big planet

if wyver and olympia are having problems
why dont we just try to leave?

[Oh... This really doesn't feel good - but at the same time, he's not sure how much he can do, especially over text.]

We're going by train together, so I'll let you know what time we leave anyway, okay?

If you really can't make it, that's fine, but.

To tell the truth, it's my birthday celebration, so. I'd really like it if you could come. You're an important friend to me.

[He feels bad about pressuring her like that, but in the grand scheme of things? He'd rather pressure her a little, even if that's not okay, than let her back out when she doesn't seem to be doing great and he knows she loves the beach.]

[ayes]

[Hook, line, sinker. On her end, You bites her lip. If it's his birthday, she can't turn him down... she's still not okay with going out, entirely, but if he's asking her directly...!] i didnt know its your birthday happy birthday atsushi-kun let me know the time and date and ill try to be there

[gekkajuu]

That's fine! I haven't really mentioned it. But yes, my birthday is May 5.

Thank you~! 🐯

For now, the plan is to take the train at 10. Everyone is bringing something to eat or drink, so we can kind of have a potluck picnic together!

[ayes]

thats not too far off from mine [which she has not told anyone honestly she's kind of been an emotional reclusive mess] i can cook my niceoodles if people want to have them again

[gekkajuu]

Really? When's yours?

[Of course he presumes it hasn't happened yet, because... he would have heard, surely!]

That would be wonderful!

[ayes]

ok ill bring them then

it was april 17

[gekkajuu]

I'm so sorry!

I missed your birthday and didn't even know.

[ayes]

no its ok i didnt really tell anyone

[gekkajuu]

That still doesn't make it okay. You keep organizing these lovely parties for everybody, and now you didn't even get to celebrate your own birthday.

Please come to the beach with us, okay? The party can be a little bit for your sake, as well.

[Which isn't exactly enough, but it's the best solution he's got on such a short term.

Maybe when things have calmed down further and the weather gets even better, there can be a huge beach party for You and for everyone else who missed their birthday and/or doesn't even know their birthday. For that matter: maybe it can be combined with an anniversary-of-first-arrivals party..?]

[ayes]

no seriously you dont have to!
if you really want to then i mean i wont tell you not to but
you dont have to

its not the same without everyone besides

[gekkajuu]

Of course I want to! I really want to!

[Oh... So that's it. Well, it's not like he doesn't understand.]

It's terrible to miss everyone from home, I know.

But there's no forcing people to wake up - and wouldn't your friends want you to keep enjoying life?

For that matter: you've brightened so many lives here already! If you can't have fun yourself, then

it's just not right!

[ayes]

yeah maybe

thanks atsushi
youre really sweet

[It's not like there's anything wrong or incorrect in his words. He's totally right.

She just can't put her heart into it. The sea, though...]

[gekkajuu]

[He definitely feels like he hasn't gotten through to her enough, but... there's not much he can do about that. He can only hope that she'll join him at the beach, and that it will brighten her day at least a little.

Even so...]

You-chan, what's your favorite cake?

[ayes]

mine?
hmmmm

haha probably something chocolatey or with ice cream
nothing fancy

[gekkajuu]

Okay!

Are you home right now?

[ayes]

uhhhhh

yeah why

[gekkajuu]

You'll see~!

[One chocolate ice cream cake getting delivered in -... Well, in a little while. Atsushi has to find a store that has something like it and everything.]

[ayes]

[Weh sushi is the cutest she's going to cry a little]
