"Don't say whatever! Oubai-san, are you even hearing us?" she looked at him with something akin to contempt at the moment. How could he be saying those things. Things that he didn't really believe in. Was he that blind to reality or was it this world that was blinding him. She was angry, not at him, but the situation. The fact that he felt this kind of pressure, this stress. Whatever it was it was hurting him enough to make him want to stay here.
"So you think here is perfect or something? It's not! Look around you Oubai-sempai. Seriously look, not with your eyes though. You can't see because you're not feeling what's here. It's oppressive Oubai-sempai. There's nothing here, no noise, no people, just these...puppets and things, to make you think this is real, or something...I don't know it's all jumbled up. But whatever it is, it's not a real place." Misaki clenched her fists hard. "Don't you see what it's doing to you? It's only hurting you. What's good about the outside you asked...you have fresh air. The warmth of a summer's day, the rain falling on you as you run to the door, laughter, tears, you can't get that here. A touch on the head, or on the face. Someone's smile...you won't see that staying here...."
"So what if people on the internet say things, they don't know you do they? How can you listen to someone that doesn't know you. Yes it hurts, I know it does, but still, Oubai-sempai there are other people that care about you. Care about what you're do and say. They won't say things, they'd defend you if you would just let them...."
Misaki was wipeing her eyes now and she looked at him with concern, "Don't you see, you say they decide your future. Why? Because you let them. They can't choose what makes you happy or what makes you sad, only you can do that. No one else has that choice. Wouldn't you think your mother would want you to be happy? Don't you think she would want you to do what you wanted to do, rather then just follow along with what someone told you to do? You think you're not strong, but you are! You could have curled up in a ball and never come out of your home, but you did. You could have just given up everything, but you didn't. Why...because you're a stronger person then you seem Oubai-sempai. I know it's not much coming from me, but please...please think about this."
Misaki closed her eyes and sigheed looking at him gently, "What would make you happy Oubai-sempai? What's something that you want to do? Not what they want, not what we want, what's something that makes you...happy Oubai-san?"
