[ At first, that seems like all she's going to say. He asked if it bothered her, not a clarification. But it's almost like she can hear Ena's voice, griping for her to share more details. ]
If it bothered me, I wouldn't have brought you here. And you're not as loud as Tenma-san. [ Barely. ]
[ he would've been fine if that's all she said, but he seems visibly pleased that she elaborates anyway. ]
I don't think anybody's as loud as Tsukasa is. [ teasing. tsukasa is... so much... but that's friend-shaped. ] ... this did help though. Being here. Thanks for that.
Mm. [ there's a sound of agreement because now that his head's a little less muddled and isn't screaming in full hd he does think a nap sounds like a good idea. they return right back to the library they left, all in one piece and with the room just as empty as it started. ]
Guess it's time to head back and fight a few cats for my bed. [ it's a low level attempt at a joke, but also not? some of those cats are bullies. ] But... I'll catch up with you later?
[ the tiniest bit of hope in his tone. he has already decided he's now just going to continue bugging her and making her talk to him because things are a touch too relatable and that doesn't feel good to know. not to mention he's now going "wonder if she's here because she wanted a way to find herself." ]
[ She tilts her head, again, as though that bit of hope puzzles her. She doesn't see that much value in interacting with her, but if that's what he wants to do, she doesn't really see a reason to say no. ]
[ she may come to regret this decision, but he seems eager enough to be friends so who knows. ]
That'll probably be before you know it. [ threat (no.) but he settles for offering another small smile before bowing his head. ]
Thanks again, Asahina-san. [ and if nothing else he will quietly take his leave to head back and probably be buried in 20 cats. may they both eventually remember why they're here. wow... a completed thread... proud of us. ]

Do you want to head back or stay here longer?
[ Miku won't show herself, but she thinks that's her being considerate. ]
no subject
I think I'm ready to go back. I think I'm just... tired.
[ physically? emotionally? yeah. ]
Coming with? [ can he even leave without her, he doesn't know. but he also would understand if she wants her own space back for a bit. ]
no subject
Mm, I will. You should get some actual rest after this. That will also help with your thoughts.
[ And she ends something on her phone, which places them back exactly where they were. Convenient! ]

You can catch up with me when you're ready.
[ If only she could remember why she's here. ]
