UNIT № 1 0 7
"Yo, this is Yata!
Make the message worth my time
an' I'll get back to ya!"
[ call | text | voicemail | action ]
action
action
Yeah! I've never made one with someone else before!
[ Okay, she thinks it's cool. ]
We can make it look like King Mikoto!
action
I've never actually made one, so you're gonna have to teach me! It's kinda like a sand castle, right? [ But round... ]
action
Uh huh. [ No, they're not like sand castles at all... ] But they're bigger! We have to make big snowballs and put them one on top of another. Three should do. The base should be... [ She gestures with her hands to show him. ] This big?
action
Hey... do you know what you're gonna do in this place? [ Nothing like pleasant (serious?!) chitchat while playing with snow. ]
action
I fight. [ Without hesitation. ] I fight when they ask me to. But it's not like I knew what to do as soon as I arrived. I thought about it for a while, you know?
action
Yata starts rolling the snowball around to make it grow, moving with it and filling in any uneven spots (while looking at Kougyoku's work through his peripheral). ]
action
[ He'll find a small smile there. She doesn't look up from her work until she asks, ]
What about you?
action
Haaaa, nothing as cool as that. [ He flashes a smile over before looking back to the snow. ]
I'm not sure. I'll fight because Mikoto-san will be fighting, and I don't wanna just sit around when there's people I want to protect, but I don't really believe in their fight. Not yet, at least...
action
Not all soldiers believe in the cause they fight for, but I think it's still possible for them to find their strength somewhere. [ Though knowing Yata, he'd probably keep rallying behind Mikoto. She'd do the same if it was for her brother, but in this case... ] In someone, or in themselves.
[ She is so focused on the conversation that she's stopped working on her snowball. ]
action
We should make a promise to stick together, Kou-chan. [ It's spoken softly, Yata using the monotony behind rolling a snowball to help him stay focused on his thoughts. ] I mean, supporting each other, that kinda thing... in case one of us starts to lose ourselves or wants to give up in the middle of all the fighting, we can count on the other to be that strength and pull us back.
[ He wasn't used to addressing serious topics, and admittedly he was a little nervous about saying that aloud. ] Does that sound dumb?
action
[ While thinking about the battles ahead, there was one thing she failed to consider—that she had a friend who fought by her side. Knowing this now, she places a hand over her chest, as if trying to stop herself from feeling this much joy and relief. As she looks at the ground, she raises her little finger toward Yata, waiting for him to take it. ]
But we must pinky swear on it.
action
Heh, it's a promise!
action
Now you can't break it, or something bad will happen! But it's okay. I'll protect you.
action
action
Why is it embarrassing when you say it? Just get back to work!
action
Are your hands freezing yet?
action
action
action
[ She places her snowball on top of Yata's. What now... Ah, right. She gets gathers rocks and sticks for the snowman's eyes and mouth and places them on the smaller snowball.
... The snowman looks happy.
why ]
action
... It's missing something. Can we make a snow cigarette?
action
Kougyoku looks up from putting the jacket Yata gave her on the snowman after putting sticks for arms in it. ]
Wouldn't one made out of snow break? But if we make it out of ice, I can try.
[ She takes her hairpin out. ]
action
Yeah, yeah! That'd be perfect!
action
With the tip of her hairpin, Kougyoku makes the Mikoto snowman a cigarette made of ice and sticks it in its mouth. ]
There! I think we did good.
[ IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MIKOTO AT ALL ]
action
We did! It's the best snowman I've ever seen. Get closer to it so I can take a picture.
[ Fetching his tablet, yes. Their work needed to be shown off. ]
