WHO: Toru, Yoshimi
WHAT: Some explaining.
WHEN: After Toru gets bitched out by Kiriko.
WHERE: The soccer field.
WHY: TORU NEEDS TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF. AND KAZ.

It didn't please Toru at all that he had to do this, but he really needed to. He'd been putting talking to Yoshimi about matters Kazuya-related for months now. It felt wrong to keep deluding her by withholding information, and he couldn't stomach it any longer. Cowardice and nerves were no longer a legitimate excuse.

Plus, it was something that would get him less scolded-at by Kiriko, he supposed. With this in mind, he went looking for her, bag of cosmetics from Kiriko still on his person. He ended up searching through the music club, cooking club, astronomy club, and photography club before finally wandering out to the fields.

Conveniently, she appeared to be practicing with the soccer team. Toru walked right up to her on the field and made an awkward bow.

"Y-Yoshimi-san... w-we need to talk."

Righteous indignation, like most of Yoshimi's emotions, tended to only appear in short, unsustainable bursts. After a few seconds of internal debate over whether or not yelling had been a bad idea (her verdict: probably), her expression softened and she took a few steps toward Toru.

"You were a jerk to Yukizaki-san," she said flatly, not wanting to dance around the issue any more than she already had. "And I still don't get what it was about her Shadow that upset you so badly. But..."

Yoshimi sighed again, wishing that she were someone like Kozue, all soft and delicate and remotely capable of dealing with these things. But she wasn't, and there was still a miserable-looking ball of manpain curled up in front of her, so she settled for kneeling down next to Toru and trying to pull him into a supremely awkward side hug.

"We always see each other at our worst in Paradise. I won't give up on you just because of that, and besides, I might sort of understand where you're coming from." She resisted the urge to fidget nervously, but the admission left her feeling self-conscious. So much for being the fun one.

"I didn't find out that Shingo-san had been cheating on me until they pulled him out of the car, and I was all... 'of course, how could I be dumb enough to think that I was anything special?' Is it something like that?"

"I... I guess you never met my shadow. S-so you wouldn't..." Toru's stuttering wasn't the usual hesitance and awkward fear mixed in his speech this time- it was from the ragged breathing of someone crying tears of true guilt and distress.

"He... I, I mean... shit... He was pretty much her opposite. Seiko complained about her looks, but she was pretty, and that's what she hated... a-and I lost it because it just sounded so entitled. She never had to hide in her room and stop going to school because everyone made fun of her for being ugly. Her shadow didn't come out because of being so ugly that she learned to hate everything else and because she couldn't deal with people... it was just unfair, you know? I was a jerk and I can't deny it, b-but..."

He turned his head to look at Yoshimi as she gave him that awkward-as-hell hug. "You only found out then...? That's horrible. He was treating you worse than Ka- th-than anybody should ever treat someone they're dating!"
