... It should have. We... took care of the source. That's the last thing Taichi and I did before winding up here.

[momming]

... You two really are attached at the hip.

[ghoststrums]

[ ... ]

I wouldn't go that far.

[momming]

You didn't see him when I was tending to him-- well, I suppose you might have. But you didn't hear him.

[ghoststrums]

[ ... damn it, he's curious ]

What did he say?

[momming]

[ hook, line and sucker. ]

Well, you already know he refused to be treated until he found you. Then when I'd finished, I think I asked him if he wanted to rest or check on you, and you were immediately his first priority.

More than anything, Yamato-kun, Taichi-kun wanted to be there for you. And with you, I think, also for his own peace of mind.

[ghoststrums]

[ ... ]

We're partners. It's... I'd have been the same way if I'd come out first.

[momming]

[ She says this. Very, very, very gently. ]

I think it might be a little more than that.

[ghoststrums]

[ hilariously and genuinely: ]

What do you mean?

[momming]

[ Lord. ]

I can't speak for him, but I think his feelings for you might possibly run deeper than friendship.

[ghoststrums]

[ ... ah. ]

... Yanagiya-san, Taichi's straight.

[momming]

[ The hell he is ]

... Yes, well, it's only intuition based off an impression. I could very well be wrong.

[ NONE OF HIS BEHAVIOR TOWARDS YAMATO HAS BEEN STRAIGHT. ]

[ghoststrums]

... He's clingier than usual recently because of what he's been through, and it's only the two of us here. Normally, we...

[ he sighs a little ]

I know my behavior muddles things, but it's not like that.

[momming]

Your behavior?

[ Does Yamato is gay ]

[ghoststrums]

[ god he's embarrassed and looking away ]

For me, Taichi's... [ he shakes his head ] I want too much from him. That's all.

[momming]

... [ She just.

Goes on her toes to rest a hand on his head. Silently.

She's clearly thinking. ]

[ghoststrums]

[ ???????? ]

... Yanagiya-san?

[momming]

... Mm, it's nothing.

I will say, Yamato-kun, that I do think you'd be quite the catch.

[ghoststrums]

[ oh my GOD ]

...Careful, you sound like the aunties when I visit my grandmother in Shimane.

[momming]

... If you're calling me old, I would reconsider that in the next ten seconds.

[ghoststrums]

I said sound!

[ UH OH ]

[momming]

That's still an implication, Yamato-kun.

At any rate, your bandages should be secure, so just be careful with them, all right? Do you need any more to have on hand?

[ghoststrums]

You always sound older than your age...

[ it's the mom vibes. but; ]

Mm. Thanks. I should be fine, Kon offered to give me any if I need more.

[momming]

... I'm not sure if that's an insult or not...

[ She can't help the mom vibes!! ]

But all right. Let me know if you need help with them again, okay?

[ghoststrums]

It's not.

[ quickly, so she doesn't murder him. but he'll nod at that ]

I will. Thanks, Yanagiya-san. I'll see you later.
