Entry Log 2 [Video] [Filtered away from Oowada Mondo & Kuwata Leon] [Forward dated to 1 Sept]

[cutestprogrammer]

[The feed turns on to show a young 'girl' blushing brightly. 'She' shyly averts her eyes and can't quite look at the camera at first then 'she' takes a deep breath and looks into the camera with renewed confidence. 'Her' filters should work after all. This programming prodigy has written the codes 'herself' after all and checked them numerous times. That doesn't stop 'her' from stammering though. This is so embarrassing! But it's been troubling 'her' for a while now and since 'she' has decided to be strong and not run away from anything anymore...]

A-ano... does... does anyone know how one can tell if... if a friendship is perhaps more than just a friendship? How do you tell if you perhaps like someone... more than a friend? How do you know if that person feels the same way or not? I...

[There's a pause... then a frantic...] T-Thank you very much for your kind attention!

((Edit: Forward dated to 1 Sept when filters don't fail... orz))

I'm not sure how to tell your own feelings for sure, but couldn't you just ask them about theirs?

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

Ask-ask them... I...

[But 'I'm a boy and the person I fancy is a boy too and what if they find it digusting that I feel this way about them. I don't want to lose their friendship.' ... yet, he can't really say all that as then he would first need to explain that he is, well, a he and he's not ready to tell someone he hasn't meet before that...]

... but what if they don't feel the same way...? I don't want to ruin what we have now...

[ Have a sigh as he drums his nails on the nearest hard surface. ]

Can't really tell you for sure about how the other person's feeling. That's kind of hard to read from the get go. But... truth be told... I've been kind of wondering about that myself.

The bit about how you can tell if friendship's more than what you're feeling.

[cutestprogrammer]

You have something you think you might like a little more than just a friend too, sir?

[Private.]

[hystericull]

be a motherfucking doll and get all up to letting a brother know if you ever be to getting a fuckin lock down for an answer on that, motherfucker.

[Private.]

[cutestprogrammer]

Eh? I-I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean...

[cullscuttlefish]

It's not just one thing that lets you know, I don't think. It's like...

[Pardon the dreamy teenage-girl sigh.]

How do you feel when you're around them? It's not just being happy, it's that you want to be close to them. You just want to see them smile. You feel like you want to hug them, hold their hands...

And sometimes there's just this moment, where you're with them and they're with you and it just feels right.

I know it's all vague and wishy-washy, but that's how it is, I think.

[cutestprogrammer]

[Finally someone with advice that actually sounds useful?]

How... I feel around them?

[He thinks about it for a moment with a hand over his heart and closes his eyes.]

I... yes, I feel more than just happy. There is this gentle deep inside my heart when I think of them and they make my heart beat just a little faster. And my heart beats so quickly whenever they smile or lift me up to carry me away from danger... They are the first person I think of whenever anything strange happens here, I worry about their safety first. They are also the first person I think of whenever I'm scared and I wish for them to be near as they make me feel very safe.

Is that... is all this...

[It could be the real Fujisaki; such an event would not be without precedent, but the appearance of that particular face on a computer screen leads Sakura to certain conclusions. The tricky emotional questions are simply proof of Fujisaki's Super High-School Level programming skills.]

...Alter Ego? Is that you?

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

... Oogami-san? Oogami-san! You really are here!

[Wait a minute!]

How-how do you know about Alter Ego?

[video]

[nemophila]

Well... let's see... How do you imagine the world would be without them?

[video]

[cutestprogrammer]

Without them?

[That... a world without Mondo... That-that... he gets teary...]

I-I don't want to be without them!

[get_bent]

W-well...y-you can't really know or don't know....it just...h-happens?

[cutestprogrammer]

... just... happens?

[video]

[sawthelockdown]

[Oh hey, it's that nice girl she talked to when she first arrived!]

How do you know? Umm...I guess you find out from the other person by asking them, but your own feelings - to be honest, I'm not sure. Never been in love...but usually people in love get all blushy and fluffy feelings inside.

Again, that's just what I've heard. Do you like someone, Chihiro?

[video]

[cutestprogrammer]

I... I really have to ask them? ... blushy... fluffy... feelings?

[well, that is definitely what he feels...]

Eh? I... Mn. [blushes more] I... I think so.

[Video]

[warriorscribe]

*Oh, how cute...*

It can be hard to sort out your own feelings. Perhaps the best thing is to not try so hard to do so alone. Why not talk to your friend about it? It may be easier to decide when both of you know of your thoughts.

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

Talk-talk to them about it...? But... what if they don't feel the same way or... even feel disgusted that I feel this way...?

['Because I'm really a boy and the person I like is a boy too...' But he's not comfortable at all telling someone he's just met all that...]

[video]

[stalemates]

Hmmm~? You don't know about something like love? It's really easy. No, that's not right, it's really tough. But it's easy to figure out if you love somebody! If you're thinking about whether you do or not, it's pretty much gotta be because you do!

[video]

[cutestprogrammer]

Really easy...? Really tough?

... so... I do love this person?

~anon text~ because he knows how creepy he is

[magnificentsoccer]

I'll assume you've already gotten answers for the first two questions, but as for the last: you will not know how another feels unless you ask.

That is what I would suggest.

[cutestprogrammer]

Mn... I guess... I will; have to ask them... but how exactly should I ask? What should I say?

Voice.

[bewareofdog]

Haw?

Ya crushin' on someone?

Voice.

[cutestprogrammer]

Majima-san!

Uh... well... yes... I think so.

[moontothetide]

Um...it's, it's kind of hard to say. [Tara blushes, very faintly. Matters of the heart are matters near and...not necessarily dear to her heart.] I, I guess it depends. D-Do you mind saying more, Chihiro? Like...how you feel about them now? Or, um, I guess I mean...how do they make you feel?

[cutestprogrammer]

How they make me feel...?

Well, I feel very happy and safe around them. And they make me feel very warm inside sometimes.
