Well, Fukuda obviously cared about some people.

But it's probably easier to murder when ya close yer heart, don'cha think?

... That sounds hard to do... Aoi couldn't do it.

Hehe, that's a good thing. Are ya makin' friends here?

Nope.

[ she sounds completely neutral about this! it's fine. ]

E...eh? Yer not? But ya must get along with people?

Aoi was friends with Kaz and Fukuda.

[ my kazaoi :sob: ]

...

Well, there's plenty of nice people 'round here! Like Shi Qingxuan and Mineo, have ya talked to 'em?

Yep. Everyone here is nice to Aoi.

And Aoi likes both of them a lot.

Then aren't ya friends with 'em?

Not sure. How do you know?

[ ... ]

If ya like them and they like ya, that means yer friends!

But Aoi was told you aren't just friends because someone says you are.

They're not! Ya can't just say yer friends, ya gotta act like 'em. Get it?

How?

Texting?

No, like... doin' nice things for each other! Tryin' to make 'em happy. That kinda stuff.

Aoi always tries to make everyone happy.
