〝 Wait, you'd do that? Really? That'd be awesome! Oh, I think so? If not, here. He's my handle.. 〞

A small exchange, showing her his phone so they can keep in contact.

〝 Ah...mortals? Come to think of it, yeah. Kinda obvious you aren't one. Komano Manato. Sorry if I was disturbing, you just didn't look to be in the best of moods. Thought I'd uh..check up on. 〞

Tall, burly, yet despite the delinquent esque attire and presence, he's surprisingly chill spoken.

〝 Heard you guys were pretty busy. If you need another hand, I’m doing more frequent part time gigs. 〞

Dang. She’s pretty but she looks pissed.

〝 You uh, good there? 〞

not to take on too much at once. 〞

〝 There's a lot of mixed reviews about you guys...but really, from what I know of you all...you seem really nice, experienced, and dedicated. Maybe it's just people judging what they don't know. I can relate to that. Ah, as for me, I always manage. It's never a big deal. I think I'm careful eough-

〝 Oof, yeah..true on that. I'm ready for it, but I guess I should be grateful for the influx of part time jobs. Gonna need it in the long run. Anby-chan, you're not too burned out yet, right? 〞

〝 Gonna take A-Cing and A-Yuet trick or treating first before I meet up with the others. They’re so excited, and the outfit hunting was pretty fun, I’ll admit. 〞

〝 Hopefully you’re at least taking it easy now though right? Things have slowed down a bit on my end. Least for now.. 〞

He uh, thought she’d need one of those. Doesn’t do much, but..!

〝 These past couple of weeks have been intense.. 〞

Pat.

on more work outside of my internship stuff has been gratifying. You seem to be pretty happy too, Anby-chan. That's good! 〞

〝 The miners are all very supportive! They're always looking out for me, and stuff. Spook Shack, they're my good friends. So I don't put them in the same class. But, I will say, working with my coworkers feel more and more than just some guys I help. 〞

It's okay, he can talk too.

〝 And taking-

Disclaimer: This Komano is hetero

He's got two hungry mouths he has to cook for, so he needs to hurry back. His internship has been rough lately.. 💧

catch she was just, thinking out loud, really.

〝 It's uh, always something I can never place a finger on. However they want to do things, I just follow.

Kinda sucks, but that's the jist of being under internships. I think my coworkers sorta mix things up for me on purpose. Keep me sharp..maybe? 〞

To him, it was welcome! He didn't seem to -

〝 I don’t think I have, nah. It’s a company affiliated internship. So really, it’s the usual stuff. Kinda wanting me to be model for future job plans. 〞

He says this with a tinge of embarrassment, given his grades were..mediocre at best. But he does make up for it when on his jobs.

〝 Nothing wrong with rewatching your faves. 〞

Rolling his arm a bit, with a sigh.

〝 Yup. My sleep schedule still isn’t great, but I’m not falling asleep during my college studies anymore. 〞

Doomscrolling his phone. Occasional group chat banter with the girls.

Long day.

〝 Man I'm beat..〞

DEEP sigh. .

〝 Wasn't expecting to throw hands. But it ended quick at least. No big. 〞

〝 Yeah. You're a movie buff too, right? Been using this to catch up on stuff or..? 〞

Sure she can! It's better to eat together than alone!

〝 I'm ready whenever you are, by the way. 〞

〝 Really? Wonder if it’s people mainly on vacation hence the slowness.. 〞

Makes sense. Billy wasn’t kidding about her fondness for them huh?

He was going to get a bite after his last job.

〝 The posts today are really weird. Must be a dry spell. 〞

Is it burgers again..

Off to handle his jobs today.

〝 E-eh? Not at all embarassed. Dunno what you mean—. 〞
