[Someone getting so close to him is a strange feeling, but Coco’s allowed, even if his brain is screaming at least four different reasons why he should run. But he doesn’t, and she’s right there, and he finds himself leaning a little bit towards her in return like maybe she’s going to tell him a secret, or something? That’d be pretty weird, since they’re all the way out here, but —-

It might have made more sense to him than what actually happens, and wouldn’t have left him stupidly standing there, watching her go and feeling like he’s on fire.]

Uh.

[Did that happen? That happened. Huh.

...He should probably be going after her! Though it isn’t like catching up is hard at all, and what’s he supposed to do then? Well, he’ll have to find out.]

Uh, Coco! Wait? [??????? why was that a question, he’s so stupid]

[kept_his_letters]

No!

[No waiting. Only running and being stupid now.

If she weren't running she'd cover her face. But then, she wouldn't be able to run right or see where she's going and she'd almost definitely run into something.]

If I stop I'll die!

[This is not technically true but it's true enough!]

[awooligan]

[No, you know what? That's fair. He can see the logic in that, and slows to a jog, then a stop. Because he might be able to understand her "you stop, you die" struggle, but right now he's really feeling the "you talk, you die" energy in his soul. In a daze, he stares after her.]

Uh, okay... Thanks?

[why the hell -- what is wrong with him?]

[kept_his_letters]

That's what I should say!

[That is kind of what she wanted it to say. For the Atole, for the dance, for the day, for saving her father, for the past months and making her feel like she could be her whole self for the first time.

But she's running because she showed a little too much self. What can you do?]

I'll see you later! Thank you!
