[is coming down the stairs; sees the suitcase, sees Souji, and does the math]

... ah...

[isthisourchance]

[okay, she cracks up a little at that joke]

Oh, that's a good idea! If you can't find a spare, you can take the speakers out of mine if you want. I never listen to anything on it anyway.

[hardlyboy]

Ah? I would be most grateful.

[isthisourchance]

No problem! Like I said, anything I can do to help.

[hardlyboy]

Thank you, Chie-senpai. I would have to dismantle your laptop, but I won't approach that step until I've gathered more materials. Although, it's not certain that I will be able to make one, so I cannot promise anything.

[isthisourchance]

Sure thing! It's enough to know you're giving it a shot. Hopefully we won't end up needing them, y'know?

[hardlyboy]

That is the hope. But it doesn't hurt to have insurance.

[isthisourchance]

Right! Good old Naoto-kun, always thinking ahead.

[hardlyboy]

I do try.

[isthisourchance]

[so this is totally an opportune time to return to a previous topic amirite]

So, Naoto-kun! How did you and... Judith-san, right? How did you two get together?

[hardlyboy]

Oh! Er, ah... well, we originally met through a mutual friend. I suppose we simply grew closer over time and mutual interest.

[isthisourchance]

Well, that's cool. And did you, uhh... [gestures meaninglessly for a second as she searches for words] G-Go ahead and tell me to shut up if it's not okay to ask this... How long have you known that you, um, liked girls like that?

[hardlyboy]

... ah... well, I-- it's difficult to answer that precisely because until fairly recently I did not consider relationships of that nature something well-suited for me. So I haven't had much thought on... "liking" people like that. But, my best estimate is... probably around a year now?
