With that one holiday around the corner and it's whole schtick for doing a sappy confession to someone...

...how do you know if you might actually like someone? Like... LIKE like.

It might not be a matter of life and death but it's important.

What a wonderful question!

If you do get your answer, will you act upon it?

sender: shirou

[projections]

If you feel strongly towards someone I think you should just tell them.

Tell them what you really feel and it'll be alright.

Isn't there like three holidays around the corner? Might wanna get a little specific.

[He's lying he knows exactly what holiday she's talking about.]

As for liking someone, that depends. On a scale of 'absolutely disgusted' to 'I am ready to take them to bone town' how do you feel about them?

well like

there are things you wanna do with them you wouldn't wanna do with a regular friend!

like

kissing!!!! do you wanna kiss them???

hover over the kana for romaji! :D

[mwehehe]

Probably not love. Maybe?

But you know... LIKE like. It doesn't have to be love, but a really big... LIKE.

[Old-style speak compared to modern-speak.... man this is hard.]

It's not 大好き but more like... 少し好きです. Not like 愛してる or 恋... I don't think.

[Maybe emphasis on parts of their own language will help? Ah, she might not know 'koi' though, that's probably more new and definitely not the fish. Oh no, is it too late?!]

[mwehehe]

The dreaded Valentine's Day, where you either get lucky... or get rejected. Sometimes you get chocolate though, even if it's just obligation.

[mwehehe]

...

[....she hates that he's probably right but]

Insightful.

[IT IS, BUT ALSO]

But what IS there to it? Plenty of things say it's fuwa fuwa doki doki waku waku stuff, IS IT? Or is it just... normal.

[mwehehe]

Maybe...? I'm not sure yet. I know that chocolate is going to happen on Valentines though, but... what kind will it be, you know?

[mwehehe]

Yeah but it can be friendly, right? Liking someone as a friend and liking someone MORE than a friend is way different, but I've never liked anyone like THAT.

[mwehehe]

Valentines. The dreaded one. White Day doesn't count... yet.

[There is a VERY LONG PAUSE after the rest of that because WHAT.]

I... don't think taking someone to bone town is on a list of things I'll do in the very near future.

[H*lding h*nds is like... maybe too extreme here?!]

[mwehehe]

[.............shit]

Yeah, probably.

[They already have but it was because of the kissy slug gumdrop things near Christmastime.... but it wasn't bad but she can't say that just in case AUGH. She's already telling herself to promise to tell Mei later about it because this is IMPORTANT.]

[kikuichi]

That is something you'll have to figure out.

What kind? As in you give out different kinds of chocolate?

[mwehehe]

Yeah. You know. Obligation or... the other kind.

[fishflakes]

[Hey it's a valid question! He needed to know where on the scale this person falls!]

Okay, cool. That's valid too.

But I'm guessing you might like this person as more than just a friend, right? Do you know if they like you back?

[ Susato is just thinking about how maybe she's seen this handwriting before, but she visibly perks up when the Japanese lettering comes, and she doesn't think about it again.

...For now. ]

You are Japanese? Ah—

[ head......tilt ]

Um, we have koi in our ponds, but I don't think they will help. [ ...But as she rereads the words, tracing her hand over the letters, she thinks she understands. ]

[kikuichi]

I think I understand what you mean.

[Hm.]

It's an answer you'll need to figure out. But ponder this: if you give them chocolates out of obligation, will you regret it afterwards?

[projections]

That's a special relationship. Is it something you'd like to have in your future?

It sounds like you've been thinking about it a lot.

[mwehehe]

[Ahh... too late. Susato is too charming though... this is cute.]

Yeah.

And no, not the fish, but it's... slang now? It's a romantic love, kind of different from going "senpai, aishiteru yo~" or something you'd see in a shoujo manga.

Anyway! Yeah! Not a big... like... but a small like? Maybe? I don't know. I've never really thought about it before.

[mwehehe]

That's a good question.

[She'd probably feel weird about it. But how would she even just CONFESS? But obligation... ughhh.]

I don't think it would feel right if it was just out of obligation. But I don't know if the more... romantic kind would be right either.

[mwehehe]

I mean, maybe? I've never really thought about it before. It'd be nice, I think, but all I really have to go on is manga and dating sims.

And you're right, I have, but I can't really come up with what I'm feeling by myself, so asking for advice is the best way forward.

[mansbestend]

i think people write that stuff in manga to get you hyped up about it but then it winds up bein normal

i think ive been in love twice. i dunno. it felt kinda crazy and nice but i dunno about the

fuwa fuwa
doki doku
waku waku
hanky panky whatever.

[projections]

Do they seriously have manga and dating sims here?

I haven't checked that closely myself. You might be able to find some inspiration in a library.
