Red spider lilies? Those are tradition, but you can put any flower you'd like.

Hmm...red spider lilies. [Nodding.] I think my parents would appreciate them.

Will you come pray with me later? Only for a short while. [This is the real favor Shu's asking for. Shiemi sounds busy so he does feel like he's asking a lot.]

Su-sure!

Oh! Do you want to come by my house later? I'm throwing a birthday party for Rin.

Of course. [Shiemi's so nice to everyone around her. Whatever happened between them before didn't matter to Shu. They're friends now and that's what's important.]

I'd be happy to.

Great! He's sad because his twin brother isn't around to share his birthday, so I want to make it happy for him.

[Wait really? Rin always looked so upbeat and energetic. It's a little difficult for Shu to imagine.]

I'm so sorry. Rin's nice and friendly. I haven't known him for very long.

But, I get the feeling that he's very important to you. [Shiemi cares so much about Rin. Shu almost shares the same sentiment. He's trying to speak as gently as he can. Rin and Shiemi must be going through a lot.]

You can make him happy. Just believe that you can.

[Shu you're slightly off target. But that's all right.]

So you'll be at the party? I've been decorating all day.

[He's not very bright, but he tries.]

Decorating?

With what? [Shu thinks Shiemi will decorate it with plants. ]

Oh! With Christmas stuff? Garland, and um. Those balls that you hang up?

[She makes a motion with her hand as if she was hanging a bauble up on a tree.]

What's that supposed to be? [He blanks for a moment as he thinks about it.] Is that a bauble?

I'm sure it'll look fantastic.

You should see it for yourself! A-anyway, from what you said earlier... did you set up graves for your parents here?

[That's a little strange.]

Of course. [His eyes widen at that question.]

Nothing like that, no. My mother passed away when she gave birth to me and my father died during a catastrophic event. There was never anything in his grave to begin with.

I can't think straight unless I spend time talking to them. Sorry for burdening you with this.

No, it's all right. Did you have a specific place in mind to do it?

Good question. [He sits there thinking for a moment. It didn't matter to him really.]

Anywhere quiet will do. Are you sure you don't mind coming along with me?

I said I'm sure! Ah, it's starting to lose it's leaves, but how about the Sakura tree? It's a long walk, though...

[They could take Skarmy, but she still feels bad about kidnapping him.]

[Shu's come to terms with Shiemi's kidnapping. As far as he's concerned, Shiemi's a good person.]

Alright then. We can go to the tree.

But are you fine with walking?

[He really would feel bad if Shiemi walked all that way because she didn't want to use Skarmy.]

I made you walk a long way for my sake last time too. You really don't have to.

W-well I don't want to force you to walk alone.

You worry too much. [He says that like it's a good thing.]

It'll be fine. I'll never be alone no matter what thanks to you.

Eh!? You don't think that might be taking it a bit far?

Isn't that okay? We're friends.

W-w-w-w-we are, but-

["Never be alone" is a pretty big statement!]

But what? [He doesn't want to rush Shiemi's thought process here. What is she trying to say?

Shu will patiently wait for her to finish.]

"Never be alone" is a lot. Are you sure?

I'm sure.

[He nods and gives Shiemi a friendly smile.]

It's hard being alone. No one deserves that.

Then, um... are you okay with riding Skarmy?
