[She takes a drink after he says that, the smile remaining.]
You know, I won't say I like being here, because - I mean, who would? But... It's nice in some ways. I wouldn't have been able to meet people like you, Higekiri or Junpei if I hadn't come here.
We're of the same opinion in that case then, you and I! This place is certainly far from a nice vacation, but I don't think I've been around so many good people in a long time.
[Or been around so many people who didn't want to supermurder him, same diff.]
It's just a big park, basically, but it's beautiful. Millions of people come there every year to see it. Well, and the city I live in, but the park is a nice perk.

To friendship?

[Maybe her taste in friends and partners won't be garbage and he won't be a social pariah! They can both dream.]
no subject
Haha, well! If you say it, the only thing left to do is make it so, right?
no subject
[After a moment:]
You’ll come visit me after this, right?
no subject
[There is literally zero hesitation...]
Even if we can't figure out how to connect our worlds right away, I'll work on it, myself! You'll have to take me to your Costco when I get there.
no subject
I'll take you to much cooler places than Costco.
no subject
[The future is magic though and he has no doubt she could show him some batshit wild amazing things, even better than a Costco.]
no subject
I can take you to Central Park.
no subject
[Well
he tried.]
no subject
Yeah. We'll have to travel pretty far, but it's worth it.

[Another, smaller Costco??]

The park is good too, though!
no subject
Just about eight and a half million.

—Really? Wait, really? I can't tell if you're joking or not this time!
no subject
Not this time. That's about the population.
no subject
Why in the world are there so many of you?
[There, he means, but. That also applies honestly WHY ARE THERE SO MANY.]
