i just figured...
i'd never seen you without the gloves

what happened?

[freshprints]

That's right. Even when I run and sleep, I don't take them off.

A friend and I were caught in an explosion on one of my early cases. I was trying to save her life when my hands were badly burned.

[snaphappy]

that's...
really brave of you
and i'll bet they aren't ugly at all

they don't hurt anymore, right?

if someone touched them
or kissed them
it wouldn't hurt you?

[freshprints]

No, they don't hurt anymore. And I have use of them again — you wouldn't have known if I hadn't said something, would you?

The nerves are a little dulled. I don't feel things as well, but usually that doesn't matter if I'm wearing gloves anyway. And the skin is rough and discolored, but again, the gloves help with that.

[snaphappy]

mm...
i'm sorry you went thru something like that
it sucks bc that's something i can't help with

but at the same time, at least...
you can know that they're there for a good reason
right?
because you did something good
and i really admire how brave u are
that stuff like that doesn't even faze u

[freshprints]

You're easy to talk to, though. That's not nothing.
I tell you things I haven't told anyone else, and it feels easy to do it.
You see me, and you listen.
That's a lot, believe me.

I was raised to do a job without ever letting my feelings have any part of it.
But I never forget I have feelings when I'm around you.

[snaphappy]

that makes me happy

i don't think i could ever forget i have feelings around you
sometimes it feels like

no ok nvm THAT was about to be stupid

i just wanna know everything i can about you
and it makes me feel good that u want me to know

[freshprints]

Don't give me too much credit. I make you work for it, don't I?

[snaphappy]

for a pretty girl like you, anyone should work for it~

[freshprints]

Hmm. I like that.

Tell me the stupid thing you were about to say.

[snaphappy]

you gotta earn it 🤗

[freshprints]

All right, fair's fair and the tables are turned. What should I do?

[snaphappy]

hmmm
ok

woo me with a pick-up line
if i like it, i'll tell you~

[freshprints]

I firmly believe there's no such thing as a good pickup line, I'll have you know.

But, hmm.

"Your hand looks heavy — can I hold it for you?"

[snaphappy]

...

that's so cute

su~per lame
but cute
hehe 😊

[freshprints]

I did my best! You didn't say it had to be good, it just had to work.

[snaphappy]

ok ok

sometimes i wonder if like
we were dropped into this place
to meet each other

goofy right

[freshprints]

...No, I think it's a nice thought.

With how things where back where I came from, it's nice to think that we might've ended up here for benign reasons, rather than the alternative.

[snaphappy]

yeah...
if i think about it like that
i kinda forget what it was like before i came here
or what happened

do you remember where you were? before getting here

[freshprints]

I remember exactly where I was. We were finally leaving my school. I stepped into what seemed like an impossibly bright light, and the next thing I knew I was in the crater.

Honestly, I thought that was just what was waiting for me on the outside, at first.

[snaphappy]

so you escaped
only to have to come here

that sucks
i feel like i would feel so
discouraged by that...

[freshprints]

Truthfully, this is much better than what I expected.

I was told I was going to be walking into the end of civilization. It turns out I walked into a perfectly functional one right here.

[snaphappy]

so it's kind of a relief, then
but you don't worry about what's happening
back home?

[freshprints]

No, I do. But what good does worrying do, really? It won't change anything. I can't affect the state of the world from here. I might not have even been able to affect it from there, honestly.

Besides, people keep telling me to let this be a chance to do things I never got to before. I suppose there's a part of me that rationalizes that, if I don't do it now, when will I ever? As soon as I find my way back, I'll have to throw myself into work again.

What about you? What did you leave behind?

[snaphappy]

mm...
that's true
and u should do that
try to do things u never got to do before i mean
it's a good chance for u to find good things

idk what i left behind
still kinda... confused
about it all
i guess i left behind the place where
i messed things up
so it's probably good if i don't go back, right?
