[open] (jenna marbles voice) no one can stop me

[fujimaru]

[[ I don't have a musebox because I only play one or two characters at a time and also thinking up usernames is hard. So let's call this an open post to function as a CMO for Ritsuka, such as people may want it. (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ ]]

Your words reach my heart, my angel.

[So like, no pressure, but also he does highly value everything she says to him. But no pressure.]

[fujimaru]

[ That's a lot of pressure!! ]

I feel like it might be better if they didn't...!

[serrer]

Do not trouble yourself overmuch, Christine.

[he said no pressure!!!!]

[fujimaru]

It's kind of my job to worry--you know there's, like... other options. Right?

[ Listen. Ritsuka isn't a Type A person, but she will absolutely invent reasons to worry and pressure herself. ]

[serrer]

None that can measure up to you.

[Not interested!]

[fujimaru]

...

Have you guys ever considered that you're all really overly biased in my favor...

[ Just a thought! Just an idle question! ]

[serrer]

Is it a tragedy to be loved, Christine?

[like, if he had this many admirers he definitely wouldn't complain about it...]

[fujimaru]

I don't think it's that, just...

[ She shrugs, pressing her fingertips together. ]

I'm just me. That's all.

[serrer]

Everyone deserves to star in their own performance. You as much as any other.

[Other 'normal' people deserve to be loved, too, right? Ritsuka wouldn't say that they didn't.]

[fujimaru]

I mean--yeah, but--...

[ There isn't any graceful way to say "yeah, but not me" without it sounding worse than she actually means it. Everyone always worries about her more than she thinks they really should, and it's honestly kind of embarrassing, even if it's pleasant at the same time. ]

...eh, I guess you got me there. Thanks for the sentiment.

[serrer]

I'm happy to be of service, my angel.

['Angel' is slightly better than 'Christine', right? He can say 'angel' without giving himself an ulcer.]
