025th Shattering * Audio / Written

New year, new life. Isn't that what people say? I suppose in general we can say life is the same for us here, right? But that's how it usually goes, not everyone changes countries, kingdoms or whatever there is in your world, each year, do they? It's in the smaller details where things change and new ones come to us.

We're still starting, but does anyone have something new already? Or plan to get something new during this year? I myself have got a girlfriend, the beautiful Ushiromiya Ange, sorry guys but she's out of the market now!

[And he's laughing like an idiot. Really it's not hard to see he's very happy with that. Any more immature and he would be doing a dance going "girlfriend, girlfriend, Ange's now my girlfriend".]

So... Who wants to go to have dinner at the Seventh Heaven one of those days? Or have a sandwich based dinner, I can do those.

[There's a quick but decently done portrait of Minato in the page now. Under it appears a written message.]

Good-looking young man, single and without any compromise. Very intelligent and resourceful, knows the worth of listening to others and puts it in practice often. Likes to sleep, take pictures, listen to music and hang around the village. Has been around here for three years or so. Good friend of his friends. Looking for more friends, specially females. For more references you can ask about Arisato Minato to: Minako, Shiki, Haruhi and Keiichi.

Interested people can ring directly to Arisato Minato's journal.

[And he's going to get better and better at this. Watch out dad, your son will soon become an artist himself! Anyway, smiling innocently for Shiki.]

Just trying to help my best friend to get more balance in his life.

More balance...right, okay, and what excuse are you going to use when he finds out and tries to kill you? [Not that she won't be helping and supporting this endeavor all the way...]

[Social Links completion would be one.]

That a lot of the people he was friends with left and he needs new friends. This is a fact he can't reject.

[Yeah, okay, that would make sense actually.]

I guess he can't, no. Okay, I'll bite...how can I help? You know I totally endorse this.

I know, that's why you're one of the references I've listed. And you already helped, I suppose, I mean... Now thanks to you his wardrobe is much better.

[None of those two guys really have a fashion sense so...]

[Trust her, she knows.] It wasn't an easy fight, I can guarantee it...but it's for the best. All girls love a guy who can dress. But besides that, anything? Or just be prepared to be a worthy reference?

You know, seeing how much girls often love to play with dolls and dress and undress them one would think they wouldn't mind a guy who can't dress. They could undress him and dress him up however they liked, after all.

[Or keep him undressed if that's how they prefer it.]

Being a worthy reference is a must, yeah. But I can't think of anything besides that, unless you know someone who doesn't know Minato yet, in which case we could arrange a meeting or something. He needs more friends, really, you have no idea how he spent Christmas and New Year.

Maybe I should work on making him ugly then. But...that goes against like all of my policies. Oh well.

...wait, wait. How did he spend the holidays?

I doubt you could make anything ugly even on purpose or by accident anyway. It's not about policies, it's about instinct. You would be rabid and changing it back in five seconds... And I bet it wouldn't even be that ugly to begin with.

[He sighs.]

Alone, mostly. He went around giving gifts on Christmas, which isn't bad, but apparently then just spent his time sliding over the snow and then sleeping at home. When I returned from my date with Ange he was sleeping there. And about New Year... I'm pretty sure I just missed him sleeping on the couch by a narrow margin.

I'm going to take that as a compliment, even if you used the word rabid.

...are you kidding?! Oh my gosh, if I had know that...I thought for sure he was going to have plans with you before and after your date! ...wait how was your date, by the way? Ugh I can't believe he just slept through the holidays!

That's it. I'm introducing him to every single person that I know.

Hey, the word rabid there is used with the biggest respect and appreciation one can give to a word. And it's a compliment, yeah. Unless you want to take on the challenge to do something ugly, which is pretty pointless.

[Another sigh.]

I'm not kidding. I got the assumption he would do something with Minako and Loki, and I wasn't sure when would my date end or how or in what mood I would be so I didn't push any plans after it. If I had known it would happen that way I would have done something more, you can be sure of that. Anyway I would introduce him to everyone I know, but he mostly knows them already, unless I drag him to Brigade meetings, so this also works as a call in arms in that sense.

Oh, and my date was awesome. I took her to Hinamizawa to watch the village's festival, then dinner and fireworks. By the time we were going to the fireworks we were a couple already.

[Total success, girl.]

It'd be an interesting challenge is the thing. Maybe...maybe I'll put it on my list for later.

...do you think maybe he just wants to be antisocial because it's been so long and everything's become routine? Like apathy.

...[Hear that? That's a squeal of happiness, which really sounds out of place considering the rest of the conversation.] That's so cute! I'm really happy it all worked out.

If you achieve it you could use it later on to show how you can make something ugly into something pretty.

Apathy? ... Maybe but I don't really think he's the type of person. I can't be sure but I think he has lost many friends lately or in the course of a year and just hasn't managed to establish a [Social Link] friendship with new people or something like that. Or maybe he is comfortable with what he has, still it's not really enough, he deserves more.

[And yes, he heard that squeal, it makes him laugh despite himself.]

You should have seen her face when she said she loved me, now that is what I would call cute.

Like a fashion statement. I like the way you think.

Well not apathy but...contentment? Falling into a routine and accepting it? You know how Minato is, he kind of just goes with everything. ...have you kept track of how many he's lost this year? [Because she hasn't, but she kind of feels bad she hasn't.]

I bet. I'm really happy for you. I mean it.

I didn't know everyone he knew so it's hard to keep an actual track, but somehow I can tell he has lost several. Not to mention the times people have come and then left not long after like with Junpei.

And yes, maybe contentment is the word for it. Still it makes no sense, he can go with anything and it's not as if he avoids people as far as I know, so how come he's not getting more people? Maybe he has also fallen into habit because Minako is the outgoing one of the two?

...totally forgot about Junpei. When you put it that way...ugh.

He's settled. Or your theory works, too. Minako's got a bunch of friends...maybe he just doesn't want to impose. Have you asked him?

I can't really forget that one...

[Hello, person who told Keiichi that his best friend was dead. He still gets upset when he thinks of that day, thank you.]

I did. Kind of... What are you referring to by "asking him"?

Asking Minato why he's not that social. I'm sure he's got an answer.

Ah, no, I didn't ask him. I don't want to hear that "he's pretty social" when I see proofs of otherwise.

Intervention time? I think that's really what needs to happen here.

What do you mean?

Tying him to a chair and demanding answers.

I think I can get some handcuffs from the Brigade headquarters...

[Remember those, Shiki?]

Are you kidding? [She definitely remembers those.] Those might work better than just rope...

No, I'm not. Though I bet Minato would wish I was if he heard me, and I know they would work better than rope, that's why I'm mentioning them.
