WHO: Kozue and Seiko
WHAT: Ice Cream and Consolement?
WHERE: Seiko's Room.
WHEN: After Seiko!Dungeon
WHY: Rocky Road

Kozue had waited what seemed, to her, like a decent amount of time after they had brought Seiko back; two days, and now, here she was. She had two large tubs of Betty and Jenny's in a bag and a bottle of chocolate sauce along with. (Her life was beginning to feel like the saga of the Head God Team Delivery Girl.) After she'd taken some time to think about what Seiko's Other Self had said, and after she had eaten more sweets than she probably should to make herself feel better about it, and feeling lighter even though in all logical senses she was heavier, Kozue had known she had to be here. This was what Seiko had done for her (well, something close to it). And now, knowing a great deal more about her upperclassman, Kozue thought that it probably had hit at least one nerve for Seiko.

It was the right thing to do, to pay her back. Maybe Seiko needed someone to tell her that they weren't mad about the penguins and the death by fabulous and all of that. Maybe Seiko just needed chocolate. And if she had to leave the ice cream and come back next week, Kozue could manage that.

She knocked on the dormitory door and, after a moment, called out, "Seiko-chan? It's me. Kondo. Are you there?"

Kozue was quiet for a while, thoughtful or immersed in herself, or merely distracted by ice cream (it was very good ice cream, after all; she had good taste and had exercised it). Finally, she spoke up again.

"Why wouldn't we wave that off? What were you using us to do, benefit yourself? And be nice to us in the bargain?" Unless everything had flown over Kozue's head there towards the end—and it had been confusing, but really, she thought she'd gotten it, at least better than half the team. That was what she'd gotten out of it. "People use each other for much more selfish things all the time, and that's… well, it's kind of how everybody lives." Everybody, even people like Misaki—they'd seen that in her place in Paradise.

"But it does suck to have everyone see it, you know? And then they're all on their toes around you and…" She shook her head. "I don't know."
