~It wasn't just you, though. We were interested in each other, or I thought we were...~ ~That's what I thought~ ~I was wrong about other things~ ~I thought it might spur you both to action~ ~I don't know... it's like I was happy with the *idea* of having someone, but the reality isn't working out so well.~ ~Also, if you were here, I think you'd be incredibly amused.~ ~Ah, I see~ ~It's a lot like bicycles~ ~Anyways, sometimes trying dating is the only way to know~ ~Except for Shika. She sucks. Don't need to take her up...~ ~Oh? ~Yes. Kyon is about to push me on the swings.~ *pause* ~Don't girls like this sort of thing?~ ~Swings? Sure~ ~When they don't throw you four meters~ ~Although, the mechanized swing was a bad idea anyhow~ ~...sometimes, you still scare me.~ * Haruko seems oddly pleased with herself. She also thinks various police case file related thoughts as she waits for Satoshi to go on. ~Anything interesting in the files?~ * Haruko slows her thinking about the contents of the files. ~Not much about the drugs~ ~Something on Yurika Miataka~ ~He's probably sabotaged the drug files~ ~They're suspicious of school~ ~Hmm.. this is somewhat inefficient~ ~Wait, why would he sabotage them?~ ~Katie said he was trying to protect Akari~ ~Already damned for what he did, that's sad~ ~Maybe blackmailed, maybe his own initiative~ ~Could you write down a few names~ ~Wait, swing set~ ~Well, tell Kyon, between us we can remember~ ~Okay.~ * Haruko reviews the list of names again. ~Gah, never mind~ ~Wish they were more selective~ ~Too many to be useful~ ~Yeah.~ ~This seems to be talk about my relationship night, apparently.~ ~How do you feel?~ ~Hiroji got annoyed when I told him about mine~ ~Did I talk too much about Ryuji?~ ~I thought my stories were amusing~ ~How I feel is very complicated, I think. And I wasn't paying all that much attention to you and Ryuji, I'm afraid.~ ~Relationships are complicated~ ~Like modern automobiles, but more fragile~ ~It's alright, I mostly talked with Katie~ ~Although modern autos are still easier to fix than relationships~ ~I think I'm gonna have to agree with you on that. And I don't even know the first thing about fixing cars.~ ~How are things going in there?~ ~It's okay, not everyone needs to be a mechanic~ ~Well enough, Kaede's found something~ ~Anyways, if anyone could do it, we'd be paid a lot less~ ~How much longer do you think you'll be in there?~ ~Not long~ ~Hee! Now Kaede thinks we should have done this a while ago~ ~He's downloading files, we'll leave soon~ ~Good.~ ~He's finishing now~ ~This was way easier than getting in~ ~Maybe this isn't way harder than joyriding~ ~Kaede did kick out the power cord once~ ~And we're headed out~ ~Hah, I'll bet he's embarrassed. And good. Seems like we made it through okay after all.~
