[ there’s something about the wording of that - kainé’s total seriousness, the incredibly serious situation made stupid by geese — that gets Ichiro, and he just throws his head back and laughs, bright and loud. sometimes that’s all you can do is laugh, about a problem being thwarted because of geese, when the world is in the absolute garbage and there’s not much else you can do about it. ]
[ She's startled for a second, but she cracks a smile. He's made her believe enough that the reasons he'd laugh around her won't turn around into what she's too used to, at least not for now.
The world is hot garbage, but at least you can vibe. And not vibe check. (They can vibe check a door.) ]
We're all gonna end up on their shitlist at this rate.
the comment - almost a scolding? - makes him laugh a little, and ichiro ducks his head. ]
...yeah. I just - couldn't hold it in anymore. I thought if somebody talked to me, I was gonna pop them, instead.
[ so the wall seemed like a better target. and he needed to feel it, anyway, the sting of the brick on his knuckles as the reminder, the pain as fierce and bright as his fury when he threw the punch.
there's a little pause. ] ...guess probably doesn't seem like it, but I - lose my temper a lot. Way more than I should.

[ It's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. She can dodge geese and shoo them away easy.
you are not allowed to die before i am. thanks. ]
... Next time you wanna punch something, punch something that won't make you bleed.
[ She isn't against violence by any means. She's made that obvious, but take care of yourself while you do it. ]

[ People who vibe with her are either the really understanding and accepting type or the really angry types or both.
So it's not surprising to her. She gets it.
