[V/V seems a little hesitant to ask her question.]

Does anyone mind if I sleep with them tonight?

I don't want to be troublesome, but I really can't defend myself very well.

It shouldn't be that difficult, huh.. with all the people with powers here. [ But her tone betrays that even though she knows it shouldn't be difficult, it's difficult for her. Not that she's lying about it and saying she's fine, she's just keeping quiet about it.. ]

No matter what happens, there's always someone around to help.

[heavenscorpse]

I'd ask if you could stay here, too, but the four of us make it cramped. I'm sorry.

[She's being honest - she'd ask, if there were less.]

[integrous]

.. Ah?

[ For a moment she's just stunned, she didn't expect the girl to offer in the first place, really.. ]

[integrous]

N-.. no, it's fine! I mean, it's not like I don't have anyone to stay with! [ Giorno promised he'd help protect her, so she knows she could ask him. The problem is more with her pride than anyone else. ] I just-- um.. well..

[heavenscorpse]

Um?

[She doesn't get what you mean.]

[integrous]

[ Don't worry, even Asahi herself probably doesn't get it. She's too busy freaking out at the thought of a certain person. ]

I can't ask that person. I already owe him too much, t.. that's all! It'd be weird! [ She's just being tsuntsun. ]

[heavenscorpse]

But if you get hurt, won't he be more upset than if you'd asked?

[integrous]

I don't know if that guy would really care that much if I got hurt or not. It's not like we're super close.

[heavenscorpse]

I think lots of people would care.

[integrous]

[ Usually they don't. Asahi has grown up seeing a lot of cruelty around her, after all - so she isn't very likely to think anyone would care. All that much, at least. ]

I'm just one person in this place, right? Nobody's going to notice if something would happen to me.

[heavenscorpse]

I'm sorry, but I don't think that's true at all.

[integrous]

You don't need to be sorry for your opinion.. [ Even if she's still a little awkward. ] I guess it's just that you're more optimistic. Or maybe you can see something I don't.

[heavenscorpse]

I've been here for a while longer, in this tower. Lots of things work differently.

[integrous]

So it's experience? .. Heh, I actually like that answer a little more. That means that maybe I'll be able to see it too one day..

[heavenscorpse]

Whatever you do, please be careful here.

[integrous]

Don't worry, I already realised that. Last month I got attacked by something pretty dangerous.. it's only thanks to someone else that I even got away. So I know it's super dangerous here.

[heavenscorpse]

Okay, good. I wish I could protect more people, but I don't really know how to fight.

[integrous]

Yeah, I know the feeling.. if I was any better at fighting, I'd try to help more people. But I can hardly help myself like this.

[heavenscorpse]

There's some people who train others.

[integrous]

Well, it's not basic training that's the problem! I mean, of course I can throw punches and kick things, anyone could, right? [ And she is fairly strong. ]

But there's so many people with special kinds of powers.. compared to that I'm super weak.

[heavenscorpse]

I don't know even that much myself. But I'm sure there's always a way to improve.

[integrous]

I know, I'm going to try as much as I can! It's just that I sort of have a disadvantage to begin with.

[heavenscorpse]

You can still overcome it.
