[oversleep]

It would be more special if we could get one together... maybe...

_{[ squints.. ]}

A centipede.

_{[ oh.. no. ]}

Just like you, nii-chan.

[anthropophagite]

[ OH NO....... ]

Oh...

we can try to find one of a centipede. And I will get one of a black cat.

[oversleep]

<sub>[ Sunny sucks in a breath. It's hard for him to understand this feeling of support, but it's nostalgic.. much like how Mari took care of him. Kaneki.. he's not a replacement by any means, but he's about the age she would be if she were living today.

In any case, he's always been fond of stuffed animals. ]</sub>

.. You don't think a stuffed animal is too juvenile? I'm going to be seventeen in July.

_{[ Yet.. his mannerisms and way of speaking make it seem he's younger. He's also short for his age. ]}

[anthropophagite]

Hmm? No, I don't think so. Even adults can like stuffed animals, why can't teenagers?

[ a pause ]

Unless you'd prefer not to have a stuffed animal? I'm fine with anything else. [ he doesn't want Sunny thinking he's treating him like a baby ]

[oversleep]

_{[ He almost cuts off Kaneki in his bout of excitement (well.. as excited as someone like him can get..) ]}

I love stuffed animals. I hope that isn't weird.

_{[ It sounds like a stuffed animal is a good idea after all. ]}

I had many.. but I had to pack them away before I followed the fox here.

_{[ Oh, hm. ]}

[anthropophagite]

It's not, don't worry. Dirk makes a lot of puppets, even, and they are similar to stuffed animals. [ no, they aren't..... ]


We can have stuffed animals for ourselves.

Why did you have to pack yours?

[oversleep]

I want to meet Dirk.

_{[ And judge him. Intimidate him. At his 155cm height. ]}

Oh.. um..

_{[ Sunny fidgets slightly. ]}

Before I came here.. I was getting ready to move away.. because..

_{[ It was just going to be better to leave the house behind that Mari grew up in. Leave the backyard that she took her life at. Leave everything else and try to move on. That's how his parents felt anyway. ]}

We.. wanted a change of scenery.

[anthropophagite]

Of course. You can drop by any time, I will let him know when.

[ kaneki nods softly]

I see. [ and he understands, since Sunny's sister died. ] Were you excited for it?

[oversleep]

... No.

_{[ Oh. ]}

It put a lot of stress on me.

_{[ After all, he had to hurry and decide of he wanted to make closure with his friends he grew up with after locking himself away for four years. The last he remembered, he wanted to stay inside until it was time to move, but his Mom was putting pressure on him to say goodbye to his old friends when he wasn't ready to. ]}

I was scared.

[anthropophagite]

I see. it must be hard, to leave your friends and the places you know.

[ but kaneki still adds: ]

But you will be able to do it. I mean, you came to a whole new world all on your own.

[oversleep]

It was scary. It still is scary. I'm scared a lot.

_{[ ... .... ... ]}

It's been hard.

_{[ Being here by himself. Not knowing what the trials are going to do to him next. The repressed memories showing up in his dreams now and then, and he feels like he has nobody to go to when nights get bad. However, he feels comfortable with Kaneki and Henry now, so that has alleviated some of his stress. ]}

I need to talk to them before I leave, but I am scared.

[anthropophagite]

Yeah. I'm sure it has been and I'm sure it still is. But that doesn't mean you aren't able.

[ because clearly he is. No matter what a certain creepy kid called Omori thinks ]

What are you scared of?

[oversleep]

I'm scared of.. facing them.

Because I closed myself off from them.

_{[ Because.. well. He couldn't remember why, exactly. But being around them.. it gave him such anxiety. ]}

To protect myself.

[anthropophagite]

Sometimes we do what we can to help ourselves. I can't tell what is the right thing or not.

But wouldn't you want to see them one last time? Even if afraid?

[oversleep]

I guess that's why I am stressed.

_{[ And things just get.. really bad when he is stressed. ]}

What if they are different than how I remember them? What if they hate me for not talking to them?

[anthropophagite]

I think they'd like to see you before you leave as well, Sunny. They most likely miss you a lot.

[oversleep]

It's.. hard though. We're leaving because of.. M-Mari being gone, so.. I don't even know what I would say to them anymore. I don't even know what they're like since they were all so young the last time I talked to them all.

[anthropophagite]

Well, what do you want to say to them? Without any fear and any uncertainty, what would you like to tell your friends?
