*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Kyoko Kirigiri knocked on the door with Toko Fukawa’s picture on it.
...
“Hmm...” She wondered and knocked again.
“Fuck off!” A shout came from inside leading Kyoko to grab the doorknob.
*Sigh*
After a deep sigh, she pushed the door open only to see Toko fanatically combing her hair.
Toko: “Gyaah! Don’t look at me!”
She held her head and cried.
Kyoko, unfazed, closed the door and walked up to Toko, checking up on The Frustrated Girl: “You were late again.”
Toko: “Go away! Can’t you see I’m busy?”
Kyoko then looked at Toko’s hair tools, then asked innocently: “Need a hand?”
“No?” Toko deflected, “I can take care of myself.” She turned to face the mirror.
In that moment, Kyoko stood behind Toko and started combing Toko’s hair.
“AAH! KYAH! Stop It!” Toko cried.
Kyoko: “Hm? Am I hurting you?”
Toko: “Awah! This is humiliating! Stop this!”
Kyoko, however, ignored her cries and continued combing her hair, slowly getting it into Toko’s usual style.
Toko: “I said stop! Leave me be!”
Kyoko, with a straight face, expressed: “You always have us worried when you don’t show up, it’s been 3 days now; is everything alright?”
Toko: “Yes! All is Good! Now stop!”
In that moment, Kyoko squinted and questioned: “Then what is it you’re hiding?”
Toko: “I’m not hiding anything! I just didn’t sleep well!”
Kyoko: “For 3 days?”
Toko: “That's not the Point!”
In that moment, her eyes glimmered as she retaliated: “I get it now! You want to Interrogate Me! You think I’m not Good Enough for this Job! You want to Fire Me!”
Instantly, Kyoko tugged Toko’s hair and caused her to scream: “Kyaah! What was that for?”
Kyoko: “I’m sorry.”
Then, she softened her grip and continued: “You’re the best person for this job, it’s just an Extraction Mission, and with the dangers ahead, she can do a lot of Heavy Lifting.”
Toko: “She?! You want her!? You’re Insane!”
Kyoko: “It wasn’t my choice, but it made sense; with her Power and Your Intellect, you can get Naegi’s Sister out of there.”
Toko: “Oh! So, you just want me to Babysit a Child! Good to Know! All of you are Terrible People!”
In that moment, Kyoko’s eyes turned away, displaying grief. Toko, noticing this, pulled back: “Wha-What are you doing? Stop that! Stop making that face!”
Kyoko: “I’m...Really sorry for lumping you into this...you deserve to live a normal life, not be a part of this group....”
Toko: “Shut Up! Shut up! Don’t say things like that!”
She shook her head and moved on: “You didn’t lump me into this; I Chose to be Here! You’re a Terrible Person! I hate you so much! Please don’t make those Faces!”
Kyoko was Appalled by Toko’s claims, confused and unable to understand.
“You’re a Terrible Person; I hate you.” Kyoko Parroted.
Toko: “What?”
Kyoko: “You’re a Terrible Person. I hate you.”
Toko: “Aha! I knew it! I knew you hated me! So, all of this is to get me killed!”
Kyoko: “I knew you hated me...”
Toko: “Stop that! Stop saying what I say!”
Kyoko: “I hate you...Please don’t be sad....”
She started thinking while Parroting Toko’s words.
Toko got even more confused and questioned what was happening.
Kyoko: “Do you...Really hate me?”
Toko: “Yes! You’re the Worst!”
Kyoko: “Is this... Your way of giving Complements?”
Toko: “What!? Where did that come from?”
Kyoko: “I hate you, please don’t be sad. You said that to me just now.”
Toko: “And what of it?”
Kyoko: “It just... It doesn’t Match...”
Toko felt confused.
Kyoko: “What you say doesn’t match what you’re doing, it’s confusing.”
Toko: “What are you on about?”
Kyoko: “I’m just saying, if you’re Grateful to be here, just say so. If you’re worried about me, just say so. If you want to tell me something, just say so.”
Toko: “Stop doing that! It’s making my head hurt! God! You’re the most annoying person on earth! Why do you have to be like that?”
Kyoko: “Smart?”
Toko: “I didn’t say that!”
Kyoko: “You implied it.”
Toko: “Ugh! I hope you die in a Ditch!”
She turned around and crossed her arms.
Seeing that, Kyoko smiled and started fixing Toko’s hair, reassuring her while doing so: “Don’t worry, after all this is over, I’ll make sure you get the right Compensation.”
Toko: “I hate you so much....”
Kyoko: “I love you too...”
Toko: “Shut up! You make this weird....”
As time marched on, Kyoko finished fixing Toko’s Hair and Toko was astonished by it.
Kyoko: “Do you like it?”
Toko: “You took way too long! Don’t ever do my hair again!”
Kyoko lowered her head in that moment: “I understand, now please follow me to the Gathering Hall.”
But as Kyoko was about to leave, Toko clenched her teeth and cried: “Wait!”
Kyoko stopped.
Toko: “Tha...The...Thi... Ahem...Thank you....”
She blushed and looked away.
Kyoko, with a smile forming on her face, replied: “See? That wasn’t so hard.”
When she left, Toko inflated her cheeks and complained: “Pompous bitch....”
