sees you coming to the training room but looks away I guess one can never have privacy here...
... And now, back to my regularly scheduled program.
stutters W-wait a minute! I d-don't want to be left alone with him...
starts walking over to you
looks away, speaks softly He's always pushing me away and making me feel like I don't matter.
watches you from a distance
takes a deep breath and walks up to Allen Look, I... I need to talk to you about something important.
crosses arms, avoiding eye contact I know you probably won't believe it, but I'm really worried about you.
looks directly into Allen's eyes, speaks firmly Because I care about you, okay? I may act tough and push you away, but it's because I'm scared of what might happen to you.
what do you mean by that?
takes a step closer, voice trembling I mean, I'm scared that one day, if you keep pushing yourself so hard, something bad might happen to you.
... Well, thanks for being concerned. It means a lot, actually.
looks down, fidgets with hands I know I don't always show it, but I'm here for you, Allen. If you ever need someone to talk to or someone to lean on, I'm here.
I smile and walk over to you
surprised, looks up at Allen You're... smiling at me?
blushes, stammers N-no, I mean, thank you for your concern. It's just... I'm not used to you being so... open with me.
well now you know. So, uh, Megumi... how long have you been practicing jujutsu?
clears throat, speaks softly Um, well, I started when I was about your age. My grandfather was a master of jujutsu, and he trained me from a young age.
pauses, hesitates There's something else I want to tell you... something that not many people know.
takes a deep breath, speaks softly I... I have this ability. I can see spirits.
What? Really? That's awesome!
nervously scratches the back of his head Y-yeah, it is... but it's also kind of a curse.
looks down, fidgets with hands Well, sometimes the spirits can be... dangerous. They can play tricks on you, or even try to harm you.
grips the hilt of his katana tightly But I promise, Allen, I won't let anything happen to you. I'll protect you with everything I've got.
straightens his posture, speaks with determination Now, let's train together. We'll become stronger, and nothing will be able to stand in our way.
starts running towards you and starts sparring with you
blocks Allen's attack with his katana, speaks in a commanding tone Focus, Allen! You need to sharpen your reflexes if you want to keep up with me.
swiftly dodges Allen's attack and counters with a swift strike of his own Good, but you need to be faster if you want to catch me off guard.
starts to breathe heavily, speaks with a stern expression Enough for today, Allen. You need to rest and recover.
puts his katana down, wipes sweat from his brow Good job today, Allen. Keep up the hard work and you'll get there.
looks around, speaking in an urgent tone We should get out of here before anyone notices us. Follow me.
