It Ain't Ogikubo But It's Something

[conniemaheswaran]

Who: Closed to Connie and Kanji
When: Day After Second Retrieval
Where: Curti Center Gardens
What: Connie's finally made the time to meet up with Kanji again... but something's troubling her.
Warnings/Notes: Guilt, mentions of Futaba's worse moments


The garden, as always, is beautiful when Kanji arrives. The flowers are in full bloom, letting out a calming fragrance, and the light of the slowly setting sun filters through the leaves of the trees. Connie's there, just as she promised. But... something's wrong. There are heavy bags under her red-tinged eyes, and she listlessly picking at her ramen--a far cry from her enthusiastic attitude the last time they met.

"Either way, I dunno, I feel like you're makin' mountains outta molehills. I mean, I ain't gonna go into it, but I come from a town that had a raw deal where ya tell the truth and grow up or basically have your negative shit kill ya."

He shrugged. Casual.

"Huh? Why a 'field day'?"

A good question, since it could mean a lot of things. How weird that he would quietly be compared to the guy when he'd straight up be down for knocking the stupid Diamonds around.
