... You won't bite but you pinch.
[ Hmph. Her face relaxes though. ]
I... just wanted to say that you're...
[ ......... ]
... important.

[ laughs at future throne text thread being overridden by ichiban ]
You're right.
[ Yuri thinks of an idea and gets up from her swing and it looks like she's about to leave, but stands behind Shu instead and gives him a light push. Does the swing move or not because Shu's legs are too long... ]
You're right.

Still not a bite.
[ hmmm.
... ]
Important, huh?
[ hmmm.
... ]
Important, huh?
That's... weird, isn't it...?
[ But she won't take those words back. ]
[ But she won't take those words back. ]
[ i love u sweet ichiban.
oh. well, his long otome legs are kinda in the way, but he'll move them so she actually moves him when she pushes the swing. ]
Nice of them to add actual park stuff to the giant park.

[ hmm. ]
Not really. You're pretty important too.

... I haven't seen them in such a long time, much less one actually populated with children.
[ Yuri smiles a little as she pushes Shu some more on the swing. ]

[ Oh. ]
... Thank you.
[ Yuri will slowly pull away from the foreheads touching, but she does lean in again to lightly nuzzle the side of Shu's head that isn't burned. ]

Is that a City thing? Like it's too dangeorus to have kids playing outside, or...?
[ she's so cute i cry.
shu looks a little surprised, but not bothered by the nuzzling? it's cute. it's affection week. it's nice. and then he looks like he's thinking about something for a moment, before he closes his eyes and sighs. ]
...
I'm going to ask you something.

Life would be relatively fine if you lived in a nest. Those areas are actually protected by the corporations as long as they work to earn it. Some areas had schools. I barely managed to go to one, but...
[ Shu goes uuuup and hiiiigher. ]
I ended up working for L Corporation for a long time. It was an underground building, so I didn't see sunshine for years.

[ She pulls away so that she can give him eye contact when he asks. She is feeling incredibly anxious, but she's doing her best. ]
... Yes?
... Yes?
[ oop there he goes. ]
Like an upper class neighbourhood versus a downtown one with less funding? [ he's getting the impression that's the big difference in the City, just... amped up to 11. ]
Underground? [ hm. ]
Guess if you have somethng to hide, putting it out of line of sight's the way to do it.

Yes, something similar to that. People in Nests sometimes made it a habit to watch the Backstreets from their houses as if they were watching television.
[ Shu goes even hiiiigher... maybe he's almost parallel to the ground at the highest point now. ]

[ anxious bean. ]
If I kiss you, is it gonna freak you out?

[ ..............
Yuri stares at Shu. He can probably feel his hands being squeezed out of sheer nervousness, but her face is turning as red as her hair. ]
Huh? Um... you... you would kiss me? W-Why?
[ If this is a joke, she's going to die off schedule. ]

[ he falls and dies. ]
... Yeah, people do that when they're in some kind of place of protection or privilege I guess. Wonder if they think it's a way of reminding them what they're trying to avoid.

[ gives her a moment to get all of that out. ]
Because I want to?
[ the logic is simple, really. ]

[ Stop that ]
That could be true...
[ People's consciousness and stuff. ]
But yes, I pretty much lived underground for a long time, so I didn't get to see the outside world for a while. Though... I would say so much changed, but at the same time... not really.

[ The way Shu is so blunt about it helps Yuri be a little calmer as if she feels dumb for overreacting in the first place (old habits die hard). ]
I... not too much, I think...
[ Since Shu let her panic beforehand. Thanks, bro. ]

[ she's allowed to have a freak out. it's been a long day. ]
...
It has to be if you want to as well. [ he's not a dick who'd force kiss her and go. ] I'm not here to make you feel uncomfortable.

And then you ended up in space. From one extreme to the other.
...
It feels that way about a lot of places. When I travelled with Teach, we'd go back to some places now and again. Even if it'd been years, they felt familiar.

I-I'm not uncomfortable!
[ Said that way too fast full of nervous undertone. ]
I...
[ She casts her gaze down. ]
If you're fine with me...

The atmosphere somehow still feels familiar.
[ The City's oppression as a whole, yeah. ]
I think... I prefer being up in space now, than being back there.

You can see the stars, at least. You've already said you're not going back to the City, a few times. But-- I'm guessing another Tour is off the table after everything that's happened.
