ni "Who knew the woes of the childhood friend route applied to real life as well?"
s "You’re starting to sound like a certain Irish girl I know and I can’t say I’m a fan of it."
ni "Just remember that if you {i}do{/i} continue rejecting my advances, there is an entire Facebook group of people willing to sleep with me. And most of them would probably pay."
ni "{i}You{/i} get the first-love discount. That’s a once in a lifetime promotion, you know."

"Another bout of a certain brand of silence, one that I am beginning to recognize like the back of my hand, carries across the outstretched horizon before planting itself firmly in my lap."
"It curls up into a ball of intangible warmth and fills me with a dreadful nostalgia that I attempt to wish away by focusing on the head resting upon my shoulder."
"I wonder if this warmth has invaded her as well — and if the thoughts inside her head at this very moment add up to more than just “I’m happy here.”"
"Are you?"
"Happiness is tricky — confusing. And people like me who have grown so disenchanted by the pursuit of it approach the word with extreme caution so as to not {i}think{/i} we’re happy when we’re not."
"So many good things have happened to me lately."
"And if that is any indication of what is yet to come, I’d be a fool to not admit I’m terrified as there must always be a balance."
"What goes up must always come down —but that comes with a caveat."
"There are things you’ll see and experience in life that will push you further down into the bottomless pit of existence than you’d ever fall on your own."
"And while there may be people who notice you screaming and begging for help — who take it upon themselves to lend you a hand and attempt to pull you up, no one will ever pull you {i}out.{/i}"
"In the end, you either drag them down with you or let go and hope they never meet the same fate."
"It will always be easier to fall than it will be to climb. "
"And when you’ve fallen as deep as I have, the last thing you possess is the willpower to fight back against fate."
"So you fall...and fall...and fall forever-"
ni "I love you so much."
"And pray that the slowly vanishing light at the top of the well never fully disappears."

ni "You’re too weak to function on your own. Plus, it’s not like I have to {i}agree{/i} with all of those “horrible things” you do, right?"
ni "You need someone to call you out on your shit — and who better than the girl who’s dealt with more of it than anyone?"

ni "You left me behind because you’re a selfish asshole who's never been able to grasp the fact that there are other people out there struggling as well."
ni "But you’re back now. And that’s what matters most."
ni "We’ll return your memories one way or another- even if I have to force them in myself."

ni "There’s somebody I’ve gotta stay here and look after anyway."

ni "Hm? I’m talking about Noriko, obviously. You can go fuck yourself."
s "Wow. Okay. Fuck you too, then."
ni "Haha! I’m kidding, calm down. Noriko’s way more independent than you. She’ll be fine on her own."
ni "I give her a lot of shit since she’s my sister, but I really do think she’ll wind up an amazing woman someday."
s "I...think so too. She really amazes me sometimes."
ni "I’d be surprised if she didn’t. She tries harder around you. Always has, always will. "
ni "But I guess that’s to be expected when you’ve been filling the “cool older brother” role in her life ever since she was little. “Cool” being a word I’m using lightly, of course. {i}I{/i} don’t think you’re cool at all."
s "Were we ever like that?"
ni "Like what? Siblings?"
s "Yeah."
ni "Mmm...no. Not really."
ni "There may have been a short period of time where I felt like an older sister to you, but it didn’t last long. Especially when I found out you were older than me."
ni "We’ve always been close, though. Other people from the neighborhood would always tell me how weird it was when they’d see me walking around without you. Not sure if you ever got that."
s "Not sure if I’d remember even if I did."
ni "Yeah...there’s that too."

ni "Why not? You’re not already messing around with her, are you?"
s "Niki-"
ni "Oh my God, relax! I’m kidding."
ni "I’m just saying...she’s still in the process of learning how to see you as something other than a brother...but it’s okay if you start to see her as a woman, you know."
ni "She’s not going to be a kid forever. She barely even copies me anymore. She’s her own person and deserves to be treated as more than my little sister."
s "..."
ni "I really love her. Like, a lot. "
s "I can tell...I can’t wait to let her know you said that."
ni "Please don’t. It’s still embarrassing even if it’s true. "
s "Why bother telling me then? You know I’m just going to tease you about it."
ni "{i}Because,{/i} {b}[[REDACTED ~ REPEATED USAGE OF PROHIBITED WORD]{/b}, you’re one of the few things in this world that can actually hurt her."
ni "Even if she’s strong, she’s still growing. And since she’s in the process of finding herself, it means there are going to be a bunch of pieces scattered around that she needs to collect."
ni "I’m sure some of those pieces are in your hands...and that’s why I feel like it’s my duty to tell you, as her sister and {i}not{/i} your psycho ex-girlfriend-"
s "Don’t hurt her. Got it."
ni "Not that. Well, yes that. But there’s something more as well."
ni "{i}Help{/i} her. "
ni "Even the most independent of us need a hand from time to time. Noriko’s amazing, but she’s no exception to that. And there are things you can do for her that I simply...can’t."
ni "It sucks, but it’s the truth. "
ni "The two of us have watched you forever. You’ve helped both of us learn all sorts of things about ourselves without even trying."
ni "I’m old and decayed and set in my ways at this point, but she’s still young and full of life. And now that you’re back, she’s following your lead again."
s "You’re 29, Niki. You’re not “decayed.”"
ni "Maybe not {i}physically,{/i} but my brain is fried from having to balance all of this idol stuff with all of this {i}you{/i} stuff."
s "Is my existence really causing you that much stress?"
ni "Oh {i}fuck{/i} yeah. I found a grey hair last week and cried for twenty minutes. But that’s more on me than it is on you."
ni "I just want you to be happy. That’s all. "
ni "It doesn’t have to be {i}with me{/i} if you don’t want it to be."
ni "I love you — and I don’t mean that in a romantic way this time. "
ni "Please talk to me if there is ever anything you need. "
s "Anything?"
ni "If you ask me for a blowjob right now, I swear to God."
s "I mean...if you’re offering..."
ni "{b}[[REDACTED ~ FURTHER OFFENSES MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED SIDE EFFECTS. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.]...{/b}"
s "I’m kidding."
s "I’ll try and lean on you a little more, but don’t blame me if a lot of it sounds crazy because it most assuredly will."
ni "I’ve been unhealthily obsessed with same boy for like two thirds of my life. I can handle crazy. "
s "Well, I wouldn’t blame you if you couldn’t. A lot of what’s been happening to me lately isn’t really all that believable."
ni "Only one way to find out, I guess."
s "..."

ni "Thanks for calling me today. This is the most productive talk we’ve had ever since...you know."
ni "Between all of the panic attacks and migraines you give me on a weekly basis, it’s easy to forget how nice the good times can feel."

s "..."
ni "We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?"
s "Seems like it."
ni "Growing up kind of sucks, huh?"
