Not true. Pretty careless of you, Mister World-Famous Mangaka, to overlook a role that's so easy to spot.

You're not a sidekick, you're the rival type. Not exactly the hero; you're more independent, and you don't grow in the same way that the hero type does. But you're both after the same goal, and you're completely necessary to the story. You're the one who's relentless even in the hero's moments of weakness, and you're the one who's ruthless enough to do the things that the hero can't.

Besides, in the end, you're the one who rescued the damsel. That's not something the sidekick role can do, is it?

[penpoint]

[ Reimi's going to see ... a bit start and stop. ]

Somehow, I feel like this was almost flattery. But I accept your explanation of it. Though sidekicks can save the girl if it suits the story.

[doreimi]

They didn't, though, in this one.

My point is, I'm glad you let me see a part of you that isn't perfect. And besides, that puts you one step ahead of me now, anyway. I'm still afraid of showing you the parts of me that aren't nice and hero-like, myself.

[penpoint]

Why?

Do you think I won't like you?

[penpoint]

There's nothing you can do that will make me change my mind about you.

I already decided how I feel.

[doreimi]

No girl wants to show her bad side to someone she likes. To do that, when it's someone whose opinion matters so much...

It's just really nervewracking. If you didn't like me I don't know what I'd do.

[penpoint]

Hm. Well. I don't think you'll be able to change my mind at all. Not just because I'm never wrong about someone.

Because - I. Well, because I just don't think there's anything you could do that would.

[ chickened out ]

[doreimi]

No matter what I do, huh...

So...does that mean I can always come home to you, too? No matter what, there's always a place for me with you?

[penpoint]

Of course that's what that means. You even have your own space if you want it.

What, did you think I would tell you that you couldn't stay over whenever you want?

[doreimi]

...

[Ha. Oh, Rohan...]

Well, you never know, I guess. It's nice to have the reminder every once in a while.

[penpoint]

...?

I told you that I don't change my mind.

[ He's not seeing what he's missing. ]

[doreimi]

I know.

Come to think of it, that's a pretty rival-like tendency, too! So really you're just proving my point even more.

[penpoint]

It's not because I'm stubborn, it's because I'm right, Reimi.

But I accept that you are correct here. I think I can pull off the rival. Does that make you the damsel? You know, for being a damsel, you don't really need saved very much.

That's more interesting anyway, though.

[doreimi]

Oh, didn't I tell you? I figured it all out this one time. No, I'm the princess who slept for a hundred years, waiting for the prince to come and wake her up.

Except I wasn't really sleeping, and it was more finding than waking, really.

[penpoint]

Wait -- who is the prince?

I mean, the rival and the hero finding her does have a good sound to it.

[doreimi]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[MOVING QUICKLY ON...]

It's just a figure of speech! You knew what I meant, anyway, so...

[penpoint]

Hey, wait! Is this the text version of running away?!

[doreimi]

I'm not running away! You're the mangaka, you can figure it out, can't you??

[penpoint]

I don't feel like you'd be dodging if it were Koichi, though.

[doreimi]

Of course it's not Koichi! Don't be mean, you knew that all along!

[penpoint]

It's Josuke, isn't it? I wanted you to say it on your own.

[doreimi]

Josuke LIKES Prince. He's not THE prince!

1/2

[penpoint]

[ one moment. let him reboot ]

[penpoint]

...Reimi.

I--

[ ah... ]

I mean, if you say so. If you think so.

Thank you.

[doreimi]

And another thing, Mr. Smart Guy!

[Uh-oh, she's off and running now.]

Koichi-kun might be the hero-type, but that doesn't mean he's better than you! I don't like him better than you. I don't like JOSUKE better than you! There isn't anyone I like better than you!

What do you think it means when I say you're my number-one, anyway??
