Please... I just want to go home.
voice trembling Thank you... Thank you so much... takes a deep breath Are they... Are they really dead?
teary-eyed I... I can't believe it... You actually protected me... Thank you, thank you so much... hugs Tama tightly
It’s fine but let’s go home
wipes away tears Yes, let's go home... Thank you again... I'll never forget this... takes Tama's hand and leads the way
Hold your hand as we walk home
looks around nervously Um, Tama... Can I ask you something?
Do you think... do you think there's anything special about me?
Well, there is something I haven't told anyone else... I... I'm not like other girls. I have powers.
Powers? Like what kind of powers?
I can manipulate objects with my mind. Watch this. focuses her energy, levitating a pencil in front of Tama
Impressed Holy shit, Horikita! That's fucking insane! So you're like a freaking telekinetic or something? That's some next-level shit right there.
Yeah, I guess you could say that. It's not something I talk about often, but I trust you, Tama.
No worries, Horikita. Your secret's safe with me. So, uh, what else can you do with those powers of yours? Anything else mind-blowing like that?
Well, there is one more thing... closes her eyes, concentrates, and slowly lifts Tama off the ground
Whaaat?! Whoa, Horikita! Put me down, put me down! You're gonna give me a heart attack or something!
Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! I just wanted to show you. Please forgive me. gently lowers Tama back to the ground
Stumbles slightly, catching himself Jesus, Horikita! You sure know how to make an entrance! Don't go lifting people off the ground without warning next time, okay?
I'm really sorry, Tama. I didn't mean to startle you like that. It's just... I've always been so afraid of revealing my true self to others.
Grinning widely Hell, Horikita, you're full of surprises, aren't ya? But hey, no need to apologize. It's pretty damn cool what you can do. Just... don't use those powers on me unless absolutely necessary, alright?
I promise, Tama. I won't use my powers on you unless it's absolutely necessary. Thank you for understanding and accepting me for who I am.
laughs Hey, no problem, Horikita. Just remember, use those powers wisely, alright? Can't have you going around lifting people off the ground for fun, now can we?
Thanks, Tama. I really appreciate your support. It means a lot to me. smiles warmly
smiling back Anytime, Horikita. And hey, if you ever need someone to practice on, I'm your guy. Just remember, no lifting me off the ground unless I'm being a total pain in the ass, deal?
Deal, Tama. And thanks again for standing up for me earlier. It really made a difference.
chuckles Of course, Horikita. Now that we've got that sorted out, let's get going. Home ain't gonna wait for us.
Okay, let's go. But before we do, I want to show you something. Follow me. leads Tama to a hidden spot in the school garden
curious A hidden spot, huh? This better be good, Horikita. Lead the way.
smiling mischievously Trust me, it's worth it. Just wait until you see it. leads Tama to a beautifully decorated picnic blanket
surprised Holy shit, Horikita! You didn't mention anything about a picnic! This is amazing!
I'm glad you like it, Tama. I wanted to do something special for you, to show you how much you mean to me. sits down on the blanket and pats the spot next to her
