[When everything is properly measured out, chopped and prepared, then Tsukasa starts to put together the actual stew.

Which is very easy at that point. Really just dump everything into the pot and let it simmer.]

Precisely! This may sound a little strange, but...

[Hmmm, how to put it...]

... The stranger things get here, the more I want to hold onto my routine as much as possible. I even did my homework that was in my school bag.

[aerodynamic]

[ he's watching tsukasa go while keeping an eye on the rice to make sure it doesn't burn or overcook. ]

Well yeah, I'd be a little more surprised if you didn't.
This is way out of your element, so you want to go back to what makes sense.
You know how it works, so it feels less daunting than trying to figure out how to deal with the hard and scary stuff here.

[aspirings]

[Tsukasa stirs idly, humming.]

... I always figured that if something crazy happened, I would handle it well.

[Because his ego is stupidly large.]

It turns out I still have a lot to learn.

[aerodynamic]

[ understandable. when you're in a normal situation, you always think that you can handle anything life throws at you. isn't that why he flung himself headfirst into solving the mystery? ]

Somehow I doubt you ever thought it'd be THIS crazy, man. You can imagine one thing and stuff not be prepared for what happens.
Do you feel like you've learned from here though anyway?

[aspirings]

Oh, absolutely!

[He beams, not a bit of hesitation in his words or expression.]

I've learned so much here! And that doesn't even take into account the people I've met and the friendships I've made. Truly, despite everything... I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.

[aerodynamic]

[ this is exactly what he was talking about when he said tsukasa had abilities not everyone has. ]

Do you know how strong you are for being able to see the good in all of the crap we've gone through?
Your optimism really never fails to surprise me, man.
But I don't disagree. I wouldn't trade either.

[aspirings]

[...!!]

Ah, thank you! Though I don't really think that's anything unusual.

[Tsukasa always takes compliments but he doesn't really get this one specifically.]

Everyone else seems to be handling things just fine as well.

[aerodynamic]

[ it's fine, it's better than yosuke who can't take praise at all. ]

There's a difference between handling and embracing, don't you think?
That's my point here.
