I buried the lede a bit, but I'm actually going to be on the prom committee. I'm working to make it a good time for everyone involved, so I'd really like it if you went, Ren
............
...... If I feel like it
(He's as cold as always...... well, it's good to see him doing well)
(Honestly, I wish all three of us—me, Ren, and Akira—were working on this together......)
(Oh well, it's enough for now for me to be able to talk with Ren)
(I should focus on prom. I'll see how far I can get on my own to start)
Oh, welcome back, Faith. You're home pretty early today, huh?
...... No, I'm not? What time do you even think it is?
What? Oh no, I lost track of time......
Sorry, I'll hit the lights and go to bed. Lemme just wrap this up
It's not like I care either way...... But hey, what were you so wrapped in anyway?
Ah, just prom prep. I ended up getting put on the committee
Prom? Oh yeah, that was coming up
It'd be great if you went, Faith. I'm doing my best to make it a party everyone can let loose and have fun with
I'll probably end up there in any case
Oh, that's right! You're a DJ
Getting saddled with prom prep is a lot, huh. I'd have shut 'em down the second they asked me
Sure it's hard, but I think it's worth it. I just want more than anything for everyone to have fun
Don't heroes hold all those different LOMs for citizens to enjoy?
I want to be the kind of hero that meets that expectation
............
Oh yeah, Faith. Would it be all right for me to ask you for some advice?
I don't know much about dancing or music, and I've been trying to find someone who could lend me a hand with that......
It'd mean a lot if I could get your advice on what kind of equipment we'd need for the venue, or what kind of music should—
Why should I have to do that?
Leave prom prep to people that actually care about it. I'm sure as hell not one of them
Ah...... Sorry. I went ahead without thinking about how you felt
That's fair. But it's definitely going to be a good time, so I'd still like you to think about going
...... Didn't I just tell you I don't care?
Wait, Faith, where are you going? I was about to go to bed, so if it's 'cause of the lights then—
...... Did I say something wrong?
But I want to make it so that even someone as uninterested as Faith would want to come
Okay, let's work just a little bit longer on this proposal......
............
Will? What's got you spacing out?
Ah, sorry. I got a little lost in my head
Hmm, 'kay then
I gotta go meet up with Keith for patrols. You heading back to the tower, Will?
Yep. So I'll get started on prom prep. I'll reach out to you about the music and such so—
Hold up, don't just decide to go ahead solo. Did you forget that I also took this job on?
Oh...... You're right, sorry, I must be out of it
...... Don't beat yourself up over it
Anyway, I'll be going now. I'll hit you up once I'm back at the tower. Just go train 'til I get back, 'kay?
Okay, I'll do just that. Do your best, Faith
Can't promise you that
Huh...... Faith really has changed
