Framme x Kagetsu



C Support:

Framme: “I am doing fine. How is everything at home?”
Kagetsu: Hello, Framme. Writing to someone, are you?
Framme: My parents. If I don’t send them updates now and then, they get all worried.
Framme: Can you believe it? At my age? Are all parents like this?
Kagetsu: They are not. Your parents must cherish you.
Kagetsu: We feel concern for ones we love. So it is good your family feels concern for you.
Framme: Well…maybe a little.
Framme: You’re from really far away, right? Letters from your family must be important to you.
Kagetsu: I would not say so. I have not received any.
Framme: Huh? Why not?
Kagetsu: They cannot write to me because I fled my home and did not say where I was going.
Kagetsu: But I think they would be too angry to write me letters even if they knew where to send them.
Framme: So, you haven’t been home even once since you ran away?
Kagetsu: I have not.
Framme: That’s awful! If I were your family, I’d be super worried about you.
Framme: Hey, I’ve got ink and paper here. You should write a letter to your family right now!
Framme: I’m sure they’d be thrilled to hear from you.
Kagetsu: Write to my family? No, no, absolutely not.
Framme: Aww… But it was such a good idea!
Kagetsu: It is kind of you to worry, but this is my burden to bear.
Kagetsu: I do appreciate your offer to help. Thank you, little friend!
Framme: “Little”?!

B Support:

Kagetsu: Hmm, no… This is not right…
Kagetsu: Perhaps if I…
Framme: Hellooo, Kagetsuuu!
Kagetsu: Ah!
Kagetsu: Framme! You…startled me.
Framme: Did you just hide something real quick? What were you doing in here?
Kagetsu: No. Absolutely not. I have never hidden things.
Framme: Wow, are you a terrible liar! If you’re not hiding anything, you won’t mind if I look around…
Kagetsu: No! Framme, do not look!
Framme: Hm? What’s this paper?
Framme: Oh! Wait─is this a letter?!
Kagetsu: Yes.
Framme: Ah, I’m sorry! Here, take it back. I didn’t read any of it!
Kagetsu: It is OK. I had not truly started, so there is almost nothing to read.
Framme: You’re writing a letter after all? You were so against it before.
Kagetsu: I felt…compelled to take up pen and paper.
Kagetsu: Only now that I have, I do not know how to begin. I do not know what to write.
Framme: Oh, don’t be silly!
Framme: Just tell them what’s happened to you lately. They want to know you’re still alive.
Framme: I’ll help you out, if you want. Just write to them, OK?
Kagetsu: Framme…you are most kind.
Kagetsu: To concern yourself with me and my family in this way is exemplary. Thank you.
Kagetsu: With your support, I will face this blank page and roundly defeat it.

A Support:

Kagetsu:
Framme: Hey, Kagetsu. Why the long face?
Kagetsu: Hello, Framme. Ah, you mean to say that I appear sad.
Framme: Still no response to your letter?
Kagetsu: None indeed.
Kagetsu: It appears my family really has given up on me.
Framme: No! There was probably just some issue getting the letter delivered.
Kagetsu: Perhaps there was. Perhaps it is for the best.
Kagetsu: I do not know that I would be courageous enough to read their reply if I received one.
Framme: Hey, what happened to the guy who stared down a blank page and defeated it?
Framme: And there could still be a response on the way. It’s too soon to give up. Have some faith!
Kagetsu: Faith, you say…
Framme: Just wait a bit longer, OK? And then we’ll write a response together!
Kagetsu: You are right. I have been impatient.
Kagetsu: While we wait, perhaps you would show me what your parents wrote to you?
Framme: Huh?
Kagetsu: That letter there in your hand. Is that not what your parents sent to you?
Kagetsu: I am curious to see what your family has to say. Only if it is OK with you, of course.
Framme: Oh, uh, sure. It’s probably just the usual stuff, anyway.
Framme: Let me just see what it’s about first… Hmm… Mm-hmm… Ah!
Kagetsu: What has surprised you? Hmm, let me see…
Kagetsu: We heard from Vander… Stop goofing around… Train harder…
Kagetsu: They are scolding you!
Framme: AHH! Don’t look at this one anymore!
Kagetsu: Hm. It appears I need to help you with your training.
Framme: No, you don’t!
Kagetsu: You helped me write my letter. I owe this to you.
Kagetsu: It is simple reciprocity between friends.
Framme: I liked this better when it was about your problems…
