[ Monika is sitting placidly behind her piano, smiling like she has no cares in the world. However, something's...off.

Her ponytail is slightly askew, the bow drooping on one side, and her clothes aren't as clean and kempt as usual. But it's probably what's going on in the background that's more interesting.

As in her room is wrecked. Items are strewn about, things are broken, and her piano has an unmistakable crack in it. It's like a tornado tore through, that tornado being her. She doesn't care about wars or any other stupid bullshit, because she has more important things weighing on her mind.

See, the past month hasn't been too good to her. She had a body for a while. And now she doesn't. Monika doesn't like that. The asshole that killed her? Not only ruined her short time with a body, but also got to hit and run in the completely unfun way. She really doesn't like that. And being held captive by a demented bear? REALLY NOT LIKING THAT. Noticing a pattern here?

In short, she mad.

She gives a pleasant little hum, resting her clasped hands on the piano's fallboard. ]

Just a quick question today! Are there any robots around?

[ She blinks, still smiling. There are no underlying issues to address here, no siree! She is toootally not getting desperate for freedom, nope nope nope.

Everything is ab~so~lute~ly~ perfect! ]

Just curious~

[ Monika glances around then looks sheepish. ] Oh gosh, I'm sorry you have to see things like this! I completely forgot!

I, um. May have gone a tiny bit overboard.

[So she did it herself.]

Are you upset about something?

[ That makes her droop. She wouldn't even know where to begin. The main issue can't even be discussed!

Well, she can at least tell him some pertinent information. She sounds petulant about this, and maybe somewhat conflicted, as if she lost a game instead of something so serious as death.

Some part of her is probably missing the asshole. ]

Adachi killed me.

Adachi...?

[There are so many emotions happening right now. It is possible that he's more upset about this than she is.]

Yeah. [ She sighs and thumps her chin onto her hand. ] Worst date ever.

[ She wanted to get way more stabs in! ]

Date?

[What is happening in this conversation.]

[ There's a slight pause. ]

Er, well. He seemed... [ Another pause. ] Nice.

Oh, but don't worry! He's gone. I checked.

[ Mostly because she'd been spending nights glaring at him while he slept until his device suddenly stopped working.

It's hard not to pout. How the hell can she get revenge now? ]

[So he's gone...]

Why would you go checking after he killed you?

[ She presses her lips together. What a good question, hahaha... ]

I wanted to make sure he wasn't trying to hurt anyone else. And, um. Well! I have a lot of time on my hands! What better way to use it?

[ There was no obsession here!! ]

[Give Souji a minute to gather some words, because he has none just now.]

...You have to be more careful.

[ She blows out another sigh. ] I thought I was. Guess not.

[ Okay, another confession. Monika fidgets a bit. ]

I was trying to get information out of him. So I could pass it on to you. I figured it might be helpful.

What kind of information?

[And why for him?]

[ She clasps her hands together to stop the fidgeting. Gosh, she's feeling so open today. Or at least vaguely so. ]

I...knew he was bad news. And that he was significant to you somehow. I knew someone like him would eventually let things slip.

[ She smiles sheepishly. ] I was right, but I didn't get much info. Sorry.

[He's too polite to say that he didn't really need the help...

He shakes his head.]

I wish you hadn't done that. And that it hadn't turned out that way.

[ Monika shrugs helplessly. ] I wish I hadn't done it either. It was pretty stupid.

I just...get tired of not being able to do anything. Help anyone. I didn't want to feel useless anymore.

...I'm sorry. I don't think you're useless, though.

[ She smiles. It's small, but it's there. ] That means a lot coming from you, Souji. Thank you.

So, don't apologize, okay? I've still got a good number of lives left, so it's no big deal! And, you know, at least part of the night with him was okay. Ahaha!

[ Even if she'd like a redo when it comes to having a first date. ]

[He's not sure how that's any consolation, but then, he's not ~~crazy~~ a teenage girl.]

You're really okay?

[Read: you really thought a date with Adachi was a good idea?]

[ Monika gives an uncomfortable squirm. He keeps asking that question. Why does he keep asking that question?

She absently rubs at her throat, even if the bruises are long gone. ]

Okay as I'll ever be? I mean, it's not like I can make him pay for it now. I don't want to dwell on it.

[ Her room is proof of that! ]

[Yeah, he's not really buying it, but he'll let it rest for now.]

If you say so.

[ Her shoulders hunch out of guilt. She feels like he's staring at her under a microscope. ]

You won't...hold this against me, will you?

[He softens a little.]

No. Of course I won't.

[ She breathes out a breath of relief without even realizing. ] Thanks. I, um...really care about what you think of me. I wouldn't want to disappoint you.

[ For reasons. ]

I'll try not to do anything else stupid, if I can help it!

[ She says, as she contemplates taking over someone else's body. ]

I trust you. [He tries to make sure his smile is reassuring.] It would take a lot for you to disappoint me, so don't worry.

[ His smile puts her at ease, like it always does. She likes to see that instead of Serious Souji. ] Okay, good. I'll be sure to choose who I date a little more carefully in the future, ahaha.

[ Of course, if he'd date her, it'd be sooo much easier. Sigh. ]

I guess till then I'll try to clean up this mess.
