2nd Vision ♫ [Video]
[This video feed is accidental. So accidental that the camera is set up and the girl on screen is posed perfectly at her dresser in the cutest orange sundress the closet would let her have, her hair is up in pigtails like normal, and her makeup is perfect. And does she ever look so pensive and serious after a sigh.]Kanji was so nice to me... He's

all about how my life
got twisted upside down
and id like to take a minute
just sit right there
ill tell you how i lost my het cred
to a jealous teen idol extraordinare.
There, he's used up his one lifetime's reverse Bel-Air. You deserve it Rise.]
What-- no! We're just... Bros! You know! It's a guy thing!
[You keep telling yourself that, Yousuke, and that this weekend was all a huge fluke. Whatever helps you sleep at night. But no amount of mouthwash will change the fact that Souji Seta kissed you on the lips. The line has been crossed. Everything is ruined forever.]
You're just a girl, you wouldn't understand.

Oh, look, it's Yousuke! The man of the hour, the second half of the duo she wanted to see. Rise turned back to the camera and grinned once more.]
A guy thing, huh? You're telling me! No wonder you didn't make a move even when I tried on all those cute swimsuits for you!
Two guys who've had something special for so long and have finally admitted their true feelings to each other... It's so romantic! Like out of a TV drama or--maybe more like the 18+ section of manga at the bookstore...
Reply
[And that isn't hyperbole! Chie and Yukiko have done their job in instilling the fear of women into his heart.]
Rise, you're a good girl! What are you doing in the 18+ section of anywhere-- And that's so totally wrong, in so many ways! We're just friends! Besides, everyone knows things don't work like that!

[Rise rested her chin in her hands as she continued to talk into the camera. Never in a million years did she think she would be having this conversation with Yousuke. It was amusing, but aww, she did feel slightly sorry for him. Just slightly. No one was getting in the way of her and Souji since that was all sorts of meant-to-be, hell yeah.]
Ooh, Senpai, then tell me how they're supposed to work out! You seem pretty versed in this stuff!
Reply
[Rise, you look way too pleased with yourself. Yousuke is suspicious. However:]
I am not well versed. This weekend was just a total fluke, okay? He asked me, and everyone was doing it-- it was just the event.
[He made one fatal flaw. When she said "we all know," he assumed she meant about the matesprit thing. He couldn't be more wrong.]
[And now his life is over. In the distance, taps begins to play for its passing. It's raining. Hundreds mourn.]
Reply
[Rise laughed, and really was pleased with herself. Maybe she had been a bit too harsh on Yousuke, but oh did she love to tease him. Maybe she should just make it all the more confusing and flirt with him some more later on. After her revenge is over and after she had forgiven him.]
Everyone was so not doing what you were up to, Yousuke-senpai. You can't just blame it on the event, not when the two of you were together even before we got here!
[... That is the saddest thing ever /sob.]
Reply
[Oh my God Rise, the last thing he needs in his life is more confusion. He's already spending large chunks of his time staring at walls and other intimate objects on his way to places in the mansion as he remembers-- yet again-- that he had even gone so far as to tell Souji there wouldn't be any PDA. It just sort of stands there are he does so, gazing into the abyss. People walk by and worry for his sanity.]
And we weren't together back home either! I'm telling you, it's just me and him-- He's a quiet guy, you know? He needs someone like me to be his wingman out there, or else he'd just stand around and never speak!
Reply
[If she knew that, then she would have let up on the teasing and revenge. The poor thing is so confused and the event didn't help. The distress in his voice at this point was enough to have her back down just a bit. He was still her friend, after all, and his reputation was probably in pieces after her stunt.]
You're not bad as a wingman or right-hand man. I just figured that you were way more than that! But I get it now, Senpai, I really do. Maaaybe I believe you.
You just owe me for this, Hanamura Yousuke!
Reply
H-hey! How do I owe you anything? This isn't my fault, it's his! And this message-- Everyone heard it! Now they're all gonna assume...
[However, he's really grateful for her backing off. He couldn't take much more of this without getting angry or overly defensive, and that would just end in a huge mess of hurt feelings.]
Reply
Wait, so what if they do?! There's nothing wrong with it! If the two of you really were and you both were happy, then I'd support you like I always do! I'm not that heartless!
[Rise gave him another smile, but this one was far from sly or calculating, it was much happier and cheerful, like one of her normal Rise smiles.]
You, Hanamura Yousuke, so owe me! You owe me a date, that's what! I mean it!
[Okay, yes, partially to make up for said stunt.]
Reply
[He's about to continue his tirade, when she slips that in in the middle, he has to do a double take. Did Rise Kujikawa seriously just ask him out on a date? He must be going lightheaded from all the commotion these days.]
Me? You mean-- me? Seriously?
Reply
Who else am I talking to, Senpai? This is the least I can do for you after all the trouble I caused!
Besides, you do know how to treat a girl. You're such a gentleman when it comes to things like that! C'mon, no one's going to get the wrong idea now if we go on one, right?
[Damage control is also a go. And she had to admit even after the invitation to her room and all that, he really was sweet about it and didn't do anything she didn't want him to.]
Reply
[Can forgiveness be bought?]
[From Yousuke Hanamura? Yes. Yes it can.]
I guess I can forget about it. If you go out with me, that is.

Just one date, Senpai! A one-time deal! Oooh, I even promise it won't involve cooking! And I'll wear something super cute for it too!
