[Rinku laughs a little.] Neechan's like that, huh...

[She starts to relax slightly and brings her hands down, still looking away.]

I dunno. I think about it sometimes? Like, how I wanna make everyone happy, and how here it kinda makes me feel like I should do what feels nice and not just what you're supposed to do, and some people have, like, ten partners, and some people don't have any and just act like they're dating their friends. And that last one, when I started trying it, like hugging people all the time and kissing them and stuff, it makes them happy, and it makes me happy too.

Do you ever feel like maybe it's too different? Or maybe that's the point? I dunno, and because I don't know, I think about it more, and because of that, I can't find the answer.

This world is strange, I admit it. Everyone is used to having one partner, no matter their gender. This world… it doesn’t matter. It’s not just happiness, it’s also love.

Some people don’t want those attachments, like Evangeline. And it’s okay! This world lets them, it feels like.

But, the main thing is that you need to be honest with yourself and your friends.

I'm used to being honest with myself! But sometimes I don't get it. I don't... actually get a lot of things, Amy-chan.

[Swish swish. Swish swish. Rinku would start stuffing her face with snacks like she usually does from stress, but she doesn't have any, so all she can do is swish her tail back and forth on the floor.]

I know I love everyone a lot. And maybe I'm that kind of person? It feels nice when I think about it. It's the same as learning how to fight or changing at all. It's fun and I like it, but maybe that means I'll be too different when we go back home. I mean, we're already older and that's kinda weird, right?

I dunno about that. I think they said our worlds are on pause while we’re here, so when we come back, it’ll be like we never left.

But, that’s a whole new can of worms, honestly.

Huh... I wonder how we'd be, then.

[Slowly, she looks back over at Amy and relaxes a little.]

I'm trying not to worry, Amy-chan. Usually I just try not to think about it. Do you?

Nuh-uh. A friend of mine, Sonic, tends to go with the flow of things. Not letting the worries of tomorrow put me down today.

It may not work for everyone, but it works for me.

Huh... It sounds really nice, Amy-chan.

[Rinku hesitating is odd for her, but all this coming up from how many times she's pushed it down... She'll probably have to deal with it eventually. But there's one thing that she knows, and it's that she loves making people happy. And this really makes her happy, too.

She gets up, only to walk over to Amy where she is, take a deep breath, and kneel down in front of her. She hugs her tight before she can say anything.]

Okay. Then I don't know what'll happen later, but it's okay if you wanna try new things now. It'll be fun. That's why I like doing this and letting you pet me, too! It feels really nice, and it helps you feel better, Amy-chan!

Oh, Rinku-chan…

[Amy returns the hug before reaching up to pet her friend.]

You’re my best friend, so I don’t want you to worry, okay? Besides, we can have lots of fun doing what we love doing.

And, well…

[She leans up to kiss her.]

[Rinku giggles and pushes her head nubs into Amy's hand, making happy noises. The declaration takes her aback just enough to take a second to remember to kiss Amy back, playing with her hair-like spines a little.]

Really? You mean it, Amy-chan?

I mean it.

[She leaned her head a little to let Rinku mess with her spines.]

[Rinku runs her fingers across them with a giggle. She nuzzles Amy and lets her play and pet her.]

You're a really great friend too, Amy-chan. And I'm glad you're always here.

And I’m glad you’re here, too.

[There’s a small gasp as her transformation times out, returning her to normal. She quickly raises an arm up to cover her chest, blushing as she did.]

Forgot about that…

[Rinku pulls back to let her and looks away. But she pauses, thinks, and looks back at Amy, smiling, and putting a hand on Amy's shoulder.]

You said it's okay, right? So it is!

[Rinku, she also said "I hit on you because your sister's a bad influence," what.]

W-Well… if you’re sure about it, then…

[She’ll lower her arm, letting Rinku see her.]

How… how do I look?

[Rinku's face goes deep red. She looks away on instinct, squeezes Amy's shoulder, and then makes herself look down. It's a couple seconds before she tilts her head and brings her other hand down to gently rub Amy's chest.]

You're really cute... I guess I shouldn't be surprised, huh?

[Amy giggles bashfully, tucking her head down as Rinku touched her chest.]

I just wish showing off like this was more my decision than a monster’s…

Oh, sorry... Should I not?

[Rinku's ears flick, and she nuzzles Amy's face.]

At least nobody else saw, I think. And no one else is in here.

No, no, it’s okay! It feels nice.

And you’re right. It was just you…

[and resumes petting her head.]

[Rinku smiles wide and nudges into the petting. She moves her other hand down and curiously starts rubbing circles on Amy's chest.]

I don't really know my way around this stuff, but I'm sure it's gonna be fun.

[Amy hums in enjoyment as Rinku’s hands move in circles against her chest. There’s something so exciting about this.]

You can go as fast or slow as you want. And I’ll keep my hands on your head for now.

[And she continues petting her, wanting her to feel good.]

Mm ♪

[Rinku squeezes gently, relaxes, and goes back to rubbing and playing. She nudges into the petting happily.]

Okay! You must know a lot, huh?

Plenty of practice!

[Curiously, she leaned her chest out, offering more of Rinku.]

You have nice hands… you can explore a bit more if you wish…

[Rinku flushes deep red, but she obliges, rubbing and giggling. She then moves her hands off and back, feeling around to undo Amy's damaged dress.]

That sounds fun! And that's what matters, right?

[Rinku can find the fasten on her collar around her neck. Once it’s undone, the damaged dress pools at her feet as it drops, leaving her with just her underwear.]

…huh, this feels… really nice. No wonder Sonic just goes gloves and shoes…

Are you okay, Amy-chan?

[Rinku pulls back a little and tilts her head. She plays with one of Amy's quills again.]

It's a little embarrassing, but you're my friend, and as long as you're happy, I'm happy too!
