2nd Invitation [Video]

[reigningmen]

Hey! HEY! [Shaking the SFC furiously] I have a very important message to impart to all of you!

I wish to speak to the superiors of this organized defense force I remember hearing whispered about. I have a task for you! Please! My best friend is missing! Even though he said he was going on vacation, that's been awhile now and he isn't the sort to

[oh jeez. what does she even say to all of that? she can't very well ignore this. sigh.]

Tamaki-senpai, please calm down. Kyouya-senpai told us he would be going on a vacation... there's no need to get authorities involved.

[reigningmen]

This is no longer a vacation, Haruhi! [Yup, still panicking.] We took plenty of vacations together, the two of us, and he was never out of touch!

[permalineface]

. . . But that's the thing, you two aren't taking a vacation together the two of you. Kyouya-senpai's taking a vacation by himself. He's probably relaxing and doesn't want to keep contact. Especially knowing you'd likely freak out this way... He probably didn't want to have to deal with it.

[reigningmen]

Kyouya doesn't want to be around me anymore?

[video]

[permalineface]

No that's-... [Not what she meant. Hng.] Everyone needs a break sometimes. A chance to get away from everyone and everything and just have some time to themselves. I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with not wanting to be around you specifically.

[reigningmen]

But why would anyone want to be alone?

[video]

[permalineface]

You'd be surprised...

[Though now she realizes something...]

Ah, Tamaki-senpai, could it be that you don't want to be alone...?

[reigningmen]

You think so, hm? Is that such a bad thing?

[video]

[permalineface]

[. . .]

No. I don't think it's bad at all. It's actually quite natural to feel that way. Especially when you're accustomed to being around other people a lot of the time.

[video]

[reigningmen]

It's a little different than that.

Loners don't always wish to be alone.

[video]

[permalineface]

I suppose that's true. After all, it's only human to want to interact with others and feel needed. Being lonely is never a good feeling...

[A beat.]

You know, Senpai, you have a lot of friends here that I'm sure would gladly keep you company, should you want it.

[She totally did not just offer to keep him company. Nope.]

[reigningmen]

You mean I can see your comm-- er, where you live here?

[video]

[permalineface]

... [blink blink] Wait. What?? I never said anything like that--!!

[video]

[reigningmen]

But we're goooood friends aren't we?

[video]

[permalineface]

Why did you just emphasize the word 'good' in that statement?
