Sorry! I'm sorry. I'm really- I swear, I don't usually cry, I just. [ bottle it up and pretend nothing's wrong because at least that way she doesn't end up snapping at someone. you know. ] No, you don't need to do that, I- I don't want to get your stuff dirty...

[ she wipes at her eyes with the butt of her hand, trying to calm herself until she finally lets enough of it out. it's not like she looks good a full minute later, all blotchy and red, but at least she can talk without stammering. ]

Sorry. It's like... It wasn't real until you said it? And now it is. And that's scary, and I should hate that, but- but I don't, because it's still better than going back, and. I'm rambling again. I'm sorry.

[ with those wide blue eyes still trembling, she looks ai dead in the eye and says in an almost manically polite tone: ]

I'm Ken- Kinsei. Kinsei like the planet. Um. What's your name, ma'am?

It's okay...! Seriously, that's what it's for, right? [ She presses the hankie a little insistently into the other girl's hand. ] Go ahead and use it.

[ Is it mean if she's a little relieved? She doesn't want anyone to be crying, exactly, but seeing that she's not the only one overwhelmed and not sure what to make of things... it makes her feel a little better, at least. ]

You can just call me Ai. Don't worry about formalities and stuff. We're all supposed to be looking out for each other, right?

[ As if to prove that, Ai turns the wattage on her smile up a little more. ]

Kinsei's a really pretty name.
