[ and it's always driven him crazy, how some people do that. as if they can always stand alone and manage just fine. as if they don't need to ask for help like other people. as if they aren't just as human as anyone else.
or maybe he's just projecting. whatever. ]
As long as you remember that you don't have to do it all on your own, too.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm getting that. [ but TIME, kazuki. these things take time. ] All the more reason it's stuff I want to take back home. Kinda came full circle there.
I was wondering how you were getting by and now I know the answer. [ terrible. horrible. their hobbies!!! ] This is by far one of the most annoying affects we've had, and that's impressive when it's only Monday.
Gloves probably make it harder to actually strum the right strings, don't they. [ thicker... ]
At least those weren't nearly as messy and invasive. [ ... ] Physically, at least. But we'll find workarounds. [ squinting in thought. ] Guess a pick wouldn't even help you play?
[ he would like to not have people's memories blasted for the whole world to see, though. ]
No, a pick isn't the problem. I usually play with one, anyway. The problem is the frets and getting the right chords - the gloves are thick enough that it kind of ruins the whole sound if I try to hold it like I normally do.
[ he holds up both hands like "no offense." he clarified for a reason and it's because people's memories and emotions are a lot. ]
As you probably guessed, I don't actually know how to play. But I imagine with a glove you end up spreading out and pressing on more than one option and then it muffles and drowns itself out. Changes the notes entirely.
[ he was more agreeing than offended but yeah. it all sucks, frankly. ]
More or less, yeah. And sometimes you get the wrong string entirely because you can't actually feel which one it is through the fabric. Makes it even harder.
Maybe I should be glad most of my hobbies involve a little grease in the first place. [ he says, absolutely aware there is a difference but not caring much. ] Guess it just means playing catch-up next week when this is over.
Yeah, I'm gonna leave any physical activity like that to you. Have fun with that. [ he likes being outside and he doesn't mind being active but running on a treadmill willingly sounds awful. ]

I've been...trying to be better about it, but I've kind of been on my own a lot for the last six years. Old habits, you know?
no subject
Screw old habits. You're not on your own anymore.

[ "we" because he stands by what he said. it's not just shoma's job to figure it out, or anyone else's. ]

I'll figure something out, even if it's just going for a run on a treadmill or whatever.

[ that's because kazuki is concerned with his appearance, though. gotta look good to be a rock star. ]
no subject
That's because you're like... [ he gestures with a hand. ] It makes sense.
[ this isn't even meant to be offensive, he just means kazuki is objectively good-looking so it makes sense to keep up the appearance. ]
no subject
It's seriously not as bad as it sounds.
no subject
I'll consider it. But absolutely no promises.
