He's  so  close.  Of  course  she  had  to  think  about  that.  The  feeling  to  linger  fought  with  the  urge  to  shove  him  away.  This  feeling  that  feels  right  despite  not  knowing  why  makes  her  skin  crawl.  Why  was  she  feeling  okay  with  this  ?  His  concern  was  something  else.  It's  genuine  for  someone  she  barely  knew.  Harboring  a  level  of  guilt  she  couldn't  understand.

Pink  dusts  the  tip  of  her  nose,  spread  across  her  cheekbones  as  she  pulls  back,  hands  gently  pressed  against  his  shoulders  to  keep  a  gentle  distance  away.  Eyes  avert  from  the  other,  not  quite  knowing  what  she  might  see  if  she  shifted  her  gaze  his  way.  "  I  get  that  you  want  my  memories  to  come  back,  'cause  I  do  too,  "  Momo  replies.  "  There's  gotta  be  a  better  way  than  the  way  we're  going,  okay  ?  Granny's  gonna  be  out  of  the  hospital  any  day  now,  so  maybe  we  can  see  if  she  has  any  more  ideas.  "

@galaxythixf sent: "Miss Ayase!!" He's quick to catch up to her, gift in hand as he first sucks in a breath before stiffly handing it over to her. When debating on what to give her he decided flowers may have been too much, but what else was there to give? The idea hit him the moment he saw it. A stuffed bear that looked as if it might have been a little big to be running around with, but Ken managed. The bear wore a shirt adorned with ghosts that he may or may not have put on it himself to feel more personal. "Happy … White Day." He stumbles on his reply, nerves clearly getting the better of him but he was firm in his decision to get her a proper gift. Not only as a thank you for the way she thought of him on Valentine's Day but as a thank you for giving him a chance in the first place. || unprompted (very belated White Day ask!)

Now with the plush bear in her arms, Momo squeezes it gently to her own chest, feeling a comforting sensation to her psyche. As if the plush could radiate the same warmth as Okarun did when they were together. She wasn't the biggest in cutesy things like this… but boy has this stolen her heart. The effort put in to personalize it... she couldn't bear ( no pun intended ) to do anything else but accept it. Perhaps she was hugging it for so long that releases of dopamine. She's... she's become attached to this silly bear. However, not attached enough to keep it in her arms as she hasn't quite thanked him proper.
