[ Maybe Chizuru should realise this definitely isn't the person she intended to text - after all, that person never writes like this.

But she's so caught up in what she's talking about that she doesn't realise quite yet she managed to reach entirely the wrong person. ]

he is one of the captains of the shinsengumi
okita san
souji okita

i am not sure if i have earned his respect or anything like that though
he does not seem easily impressed
i mostly just hope that he thinks as kindly of me deep down as i think of him

[onebadapple]

Simply because one is not easily impressed does not mean they think unkindly of someone, dear. I'm sure that your Souji Okita does not think of you harshly.

If you had a sense that he was not serious about, maybe you already knew it.

[tealeafs]

maybe more so than knowing it i might have been hoping for it

[ That feels more reasonable to Chizuru. Imagining that she might know something without another person saying so themselves - it feels a little rude, and also presumptuous if she were to do so. ]

i really do not think i am smart enough to fully figure out what other people are thinking

[onebadapple]

Don't worry, I'm not smart enough for it either. But! That is why I ask directly. There's no room for misunderstanding that way.

Besides, you aren't in charge of what other people think, only what you think.

[tealeafs]

well the problem with some people is that even if you ask them directly they may not give you a direct answer in return
or they may just not be honest

he is definitely one of those people
despite seeming very straightforward i am fairly sure he has never once in his life been honest when he was fond of someone

[onebadapple]

Oh, I know those types.[Her stepmother and, to a lesser degree, Grumpy, were a lot like that.] But they do say actions speak louder than words.

Perhaps he felt he couldn't be honest without feeling teased.

[tealeafs]

[ There's a tiny pause before Chizuru replies, like she had to think for a moment here. ]

do you think he thought i was the sort of person who would tease him

[ .. it doesn't feel likely to her, given what Chizuru is like, but who knows.

Maybe she's missing something here. It wouldn't be the first time. ]

[onebadapple]

I think those sorts believe everyone is the sort, regardless of whether they actually are.

[tealeafs]

that sounds like it must be hard to live that way
constantly worrying about the worst from the other people around you
it sounds kind of sad

i am glad you are not that sort of person

[ Because it's so easy to tell that Snow White is just.. super nice to everyone. She doesn't seem like she could suspect anyone of anything even if she'd try! ]

[onebadapple]

Oh, no, I try to think everyone has the very best of intentions! If you have high expectations, I often find people rise to meet them!

[tealeafs]

[ Yes, that's definitely the impression Chizuru has gotten of Snow White - that first part, anyway. ]

thank you for always being so kind to everyone
it is really sweet of you

i think this place is a little brighter for sure just because you are in it you know

[onebadapple]

Oh, not at all. There is much too much cruelty in the world. So I do what I can to make sure there is kindness as well.
