[Kotone just steals some of that extra hair Ryoji brushes back as if it's something planned, taking advantage of the extra length and just brushing it in with the rest of his hair. Hm?]
Let me see!
[She leans around front again and freezes, less because his eyes are pretty, and more because he looks an awful lot like Ryoji himself like this. Does that make sense, or is it weird? Ryoji had been a part of her for a long time without their knowledge, and she knows it's the same for Minato, but shouldn't he look more like her than like Minato? It's weirdly uncanny, and something twists painfully in her heart, but she covers it with a laugh and leans back to start separating Minato's hair into halves in preparation for pigtails.]
Yeah, I guess so! Have you ever thought about changing your hairstyle, Minato?
[ The mention of a group photo has Minato waking up again. ]
We could. ...I still have film for my camera.
[ Even with his slight camera-shy streak, he's willing to indulge both Kotone and Ryoji. It's worth it, he thinks, given how frail the miracle of all three of their paths intersecting may be. There's no telling how long moments like this will last.
Still, Minato finds himself feeling a little bashful at the compliment being leveled at him. The hand tucking his hair away doesn't help either. He breaks eye contact, feeling a little self-conscious. ]
...they're just eyes. Everyone has them.
[ Nailed it.
He looks up again just in time to catch Kotone's ambivalent expression, gray-blue eyes flickering to her face. He doesn't comment on it because she laughs and starts separating his hair. She doesn't want to talk about whatever's bothering her. Point taken.
Minato hums thoughtfully. ]
Not really. Didn't think about it since my current one doesn't bother me.
Future plans will have to wait for later, not when he's still too busy admiring Minato's complexion. Nothing has been able to take his attention this much before. Less so than someone who has only known for months.
...But then again, he's already been here longer than he has been in Gekkoukan.]
Everyone's eyes are different! Yours is really clear and almost blue and...
[His voice trails off, silenced by a gnawing dread. Usually he's very in tune with Kotone's feelings, but right now it's as if he's enraptured, like he's seeing something unnaturally familiar. It doesn't make sense at all - and yet Ryoji can't help but think that perhaps that is simply how it is meant to be.
It terrifies him, just a little. Which is why he ultimately lets the others wrest control of the conversation once more.]
Variety is the spice of life! [He exclaims with a bright smile.] Maybe a new look would help you discover something about yourself!
