[guestservices]

Um...innocuous? [they say this as if they are not quite sure that is the right word.]

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha ha...

And if I were to say I find each of you charming?

[guestservices]

Then I would say I need to do my job better.

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha ha.

Are you seeking to deter us from engaging with you?

[guestservices]

I imagine several of you will continue to attempt this "friendship" business regardless of what we say. We have our jobs to abide by, and we are meant to take care of guests. Nothing more or nothing less.

[unsaid]

Oh, I believe you to be entirely correct in your assessment.

[they're absolutely going to keep trying to be friends]

But I suppose that prompts me to wonder as to your definition of 'care'.

[guestservices]

[they pause.]

How did you care for your participants as Lune, if I may ask?

[unsaid]

You may.

Though first I would like to ask my own question - do you think we two similar?

[guestservices]

Do you think that answer will change yours?

[unsaid]

Likely not.

[guestservices]

Then I suppose the answer to that question is irrelevant in providing an answer to mine.

[unsaid]

But I am curious...

[guestservices]

I'm aware. Many of you are extremely nosy.

[...]

That is to say, that isn't for me to decide.

[unsaid]

Is that so? I am simply asking for your impression...

Is that not yours to decide?

[guestservices]

I think opinions are objective. Subjective. They're subjective, so I suppose my impression is still being formed.

[unsaid]

"Opinions are objective"....

[leave gemini alone]

[guestservices]

[wow mikazuki is a bully and gemini is going to stand here and not say anything for a moment. horrible.]

[unsaid]

[he IS a bully

but he merely smiles]

I am only teasing, my friend.

[guestservices]

Then I suppose that's your answer right there, Mikazuki.

[they are not so obviously rude, and therefore..."mikazuki did nothing wrong" and therefore!]

[unsaid]

Fufu…

[amused,

anyway after the bullying - ]

I cared for those who sought my attention as Lune the same way that I care for those who seek my attention as Mikazuki.

I hope for their growth, and their salvation.

[guestservices]

[mean grandpa...]

And did you see them achieve both of those? Either of those? Were you satisfied?

[unsaid]

[ . . . ]

People will grow, in whatever form comes from the way they follow their hearts. Sometimes, their progress is not immediate nor is it straightforward. They will stumble, and fall, but I do believe all do grow.

Salvation is harder. Some do not wish for it, or shall believe they need not worry for their souls - as if they will live forever. Even so, I believe in the trying.

My satisfaction is not what I seek - as that would suggest there is a time where I believe this care will reach its conclusion.

I do not think I could answer on it until I reach my last hour.

[guestservices]

[there's a very long period of silence to that.]

I suppose there's little questioning why the universe chose you to lead the people of that village to try and fix everything.

[unsaid]

[he laughs faintly at that]

That period feels so long ago now… but being here does unearth the memories effectively.

[guestservices]

[it's unfortunate, but gemini doesn't verbally reply again. they seem to nod, accepting mikazuki's answer and going quiet once more. that seems to be an answer they were anticipating.]
