It's a... "tee vee?"

[He's pacing around, trying to find the nonexistent exit.]

[ontrend]

Yeah, but it's not-- oh, hold on! It's showing something!

[a memory starts to play. kuranosuke, once he recognizes tsukimi holding up her sketchbook onscreen, goes pale.]

What the hell--

[WHY ARE HIS MEMORIES ON HELL TV?]

[greatvalue]

Uh.

[UH.]

Your friends are— interesting.

[WHY WAS SOMEONE POSING DRAMATICALLY.

That design, though... Hm...]

[ontrend]

That is definitely one way to describe them.

[he sounds fond, though.



and also yeah mayaya is just like that.]

[greatvalue]

[... He hears that tone, and he smiles a little.]

I guess there's never a dull moment, huh? [A beat.] Hey, about that girl's design... Did it work out?

[ontrend]

It sure did! We ended up using jersey for it, it worked out super well. The fashion show we did with the designs was a total hit!

[greatvalue]

Oh, man, that's so cool! I wish I could see the finished product.

[ontrend]

Want to?

[he grins]

'Cause I got one of the finished ones in a box the other week after the trial.

[greatvalue]

[GASP.]

Yeah, I do! [A beat.] But, uh... How do we get outta here?

[They sure are still trapped in the void... Though not for long, because the screen flickers to life again.]

[ontrend]

[oh. well, the end of that is ominous, but...

kuranosuke reaches over to very gently ruffle his hair.]

...forget anyone else's "should". If you like who you are, that's all you have to be.

[greatvalue]

[There's a complicated expression on his face when the memory winds down, which means he totally doesn't notice Kuranosuke's about to ruffle his hair and squeaks when it happens. Embarrassing.]

I know that now. [A little bit huffy. And then he sighs.] ... But until recently, there was always someone telling me exactly who and what I was supposed to be. It was... weird. Getting to make that choice for myself.

[ontrend]

...yeah. It takes some getting used to, once you realize that you don't have to be what they expect of you.

[he smiles faintly.]

But even if it's weird... I'm glad you realized it, and I'm glad you made your own choice.

[greatvalue]

I'm glad, too. I... don't know where I'd be if I hadn't. [A beat.] ... Well, actually, definitely still in hell. But you get what I mean, right?

[Sometimes you most likely go to hell either way. It's fine.]

Anyway, uh, about that design...

[ontrend]

Yeah, I get it.

[he grins.]

Come on, I'll show you the dress.

[back to his room!! he'll get changed into a dress really quick, then head back out.]

So, this is the base style. What do you think?

[greatvalue]

[Ohhh... He has a thoughtful look on his face, like he's taking mental notes while he looks the dress over.]

Huh, you really made it work... That girl with the doll— um, Nomussan? [Close.] She's the one that put the pattern together?

[ontrend]

Yep. Tsukimi came up with the design, and Nomu ended up figuring out how to make a pattern for it so we could more easily put it together.

[back in he goes and...

after a bit of fussing, he comes out wearing the same dress with a different style.]

See? It totally works!

[greatvalue]

She got really close to the original sketches.

[He seems very impressed, looking the outfit change over.]

Were you the model for the show, too, Kuranosuke?

[ontrend]

She did! Nomu's a genius when it comes to patterning. She usually does stuff for, like, dolls, so she's great with detail work too.

[he grins.]

Yeah. Well, all of us ended up modeling them in the end.
