well, america and britain, but shush
WHO: Kozue, Kanaye, and Tom
WHAT: Hanging out over hamburgers and other "western" things
WHERE: A place that sells those, in Iburi
WHEN: Before Renju's dungeon, after Tom's.
WHY: For great justice!


Kozue had sent text messages to Tom and Kanaye, setting this up—it seemed like a good chance to build camaraderie, something the team sorely lacked, and Tom and Kanaye could probably both use someone to vent to about being hafu, or about girl issues, or about whatever had made Satou so unmanageable in Tom's dungeon. (Kozue knew, but tried not to think about, the fact that having someone to talk to about this—now that she knew that something like the comment about cold, dead blue eyes had bothered Satou and Sagaki, too—would be really good for her too.)

She'd told them to meet at an America Town! chain restaurant downtown. It was the kind of place where all-Japanese waitresses dressed up in American-flag miniskirts and served burgers, fries, and milkshakes while skidding through the restaurant on roller skates and throwing poorly-pronounced English words haphazardly into their sentences, but it was a pleasant kind of kitzch. And the food was really good. The one in Azabu-Juuban in Tokyo was actually fifties themed, but this one seemed a bit less... put together. And much less historic. Kozue had arrived a little early and gotten a table (a booth!) and now she was waiting, sitting, and swinging her feet. They didn't quite reach the floor.

Tom shrugged, and looked away from them trying to hide his face.

"When I was little we used to go and get strawberry shakes... back... yeah."

He took a breath and looked back at them. He sat there for a long time regarding the two of them before he spoke, and it seemed to take a bit of effort to finally do so.

"You know... I sometimes wonder who's had it worse. You two have lived with it your whole lives. Is it worse for you because it's been longer, or worse for me because I actually got to know something different."

Kozue shrugged. "I don't know. I mean, I guess I have some inkling, but I think it's bad in different ways." It felt a bit uncomfortable to be attempting to rate Tom's unpleasant memories, and somehow quantify them against her own.

Distinctly uncomfortable, because that meant a specific investigation of those memories. Was it worse to have strangers point out that your eyes were the color of a dead fish, or to have your family tell you the same thing?

"I'm not sure it matters which was worse." She finally added. "It sucks either way, and it kind of sucks that we've all been there, but…" It was selfish to say that it was nice they shared the experience. Devastatingly selfish. Kozue bit her tongue and looked down at the menu.
