Seeing him so happy to have someone who simply wanted to befriend him, Monika couldn't help but beam. So that was how it felt when you actually helped people with their problems, rather than worsen them... Not that it was a first, but technically it was her first time since her epiphany. Of course, the circumstances were radically different, but that's not what mattered.

And-- Oh man, what kind of fun stuff they could? She didn't figure reading some books would do it for him... And she was past the age of climbing trees. As for fishing, in a Final Fantasy game? Might as well take a nap.

"Hm! Do you enjoy video games?" She actually quite enjoyed video games herself, even if her epiphany had left her a bit sour in that regard. "Sometimes I get bored after a while, but they're a lot more entertaining when you have someone playing with you."

Kanji seemed to need a moment to think before he nodded. "I like to go to the arcade and watch. I'm not good at 'em."

He also was too short to reach any of them, but that was something he'd keep to himself. He may just not grow up and stay super short, but when this girl wanted to be friends, he was desperate not to talk poorly of himself to keep her interest.

"I know a good place, too! They sell really good candy and the lady there is nice."

She giggled and nodded.

"Lead the way then, alright?"

She could only imagine how scared he was she would just bail on him, hm... And well, once the dream would reset, surely she would be cast into another. But until then, she wouldn't abandon him. Thus, Monika took his hand so he would be sure she wasn't just going to leave him alone and run away all of sudden.

He eagerly took her hand and wasn't the slightest bit polite about taking off. If playing hooky meant he could go to the Shiroku Store, then all the better!

It was a modest shop planted among a string of others in this rather humble shopping district. Unlike the students at school, the gossiping housewives at the fences and random passersby all had full features and faces. Perhaps Kanji was simply fond of the place...

"It's this one," he affirmed as he led her inside. The walls were lined with knick-knacks, little toys and loads of candy. But tucked in the corners and placed under the awnings were arcade fighters, luck-based games and one pachinko machine for the chance at colored tickets that earned you free candy. The woman behind the counter looked up from her task and smiled as she always did.

"Is that you, Kanji-kun? What brings you in on a school day?"

"N-nothin'...! This is- she... uhm...!"
