[ where are you right now? are you simply wandering around the island in no particular place? well, for those near the beach you can find a small calico cat who seems rather skittish and may be running away from a dog. fortunately, the dog doesn't seem to be chasing after the cat with any bloodlust but more like following her around? what is happening here?

or maybe you are having a meal when this small calico walks up to you and meows exactly once before sitting politely at your feet. or maybe you're just somewhere on the island in general when you stumble upon her. ]

[ because i refuse to believe that there is not a single bench on this entire island, uta will be outside sitting on one of them while flipping through a book with a title that seems... questionable or exciting depending on your taste in reading material. for uta, however, she'll questioning the novel she received with the proud title of My Boyfriend Is The One Except He’s A Lizard And Father Doesn’t Approve on its cover and spine. can't forget what you're reading, after all.

why is she reading this book outside where god and everyone can see her questionable taste? simple. if she must suffer, she will not go down alone—would be the answer if she was petty. the truth is that she's hoping to pawn it off to someone (anyone) else who finds the faintest interest in it. ]

[ since it has been a bit since they've all arrived, uta will be checking out the boutique's offerings to see if she can't find something to change up her wardrobe. farmcore has never been her thing, but wearing an all-white dress with a short skirt is definitely not practical. that said, she will be posing in front of a mirror in some new clothes which still aren't great for farming before going to change into something else that is a lot more reasonable.

perhaps it's interesting that regardless whatever she is trying on, she'll have a particular straw hat on her head in exchange for the headphones. ]

ʙ-ɪ-ɴ-ɢ-ᴏ!

[ if you'd like pick a square from her card here and we can go. ]

[ hearing what diluc has to say about where he stands on his happiness in relation to his vision of what he wanted has uta's expression a bit more muted. more sad. she had been reserved in her belief that they would be that similar given how he scrutinized her and what he asked but it was true, wasn't it? it certainly gave her a better idea of where diluc stand if there was anything left to doubt. ]

...then we really are alike in the way we have viewed this.

[ because the voices of those who questioned her actions and her response to them still echo in her head. what is the point of a life if it can be exchanged for the happiness for all others? the difference, of course, is how close they've achieved what they want and how they go about doing so. there's no way that she'd have any further insight to what he has done as things stand just in the same way that he does not know the lengths of uta's actions.

as for the matter if either of them will know what the other has done? well, who knows. imagine having this cozy game full of murderers. who would have thought, right? either way, she'll allow herself to be walked home by diluc and once they reach her farm, she'll wave him off with a smile and one final sentiment. ]

Thank you for walking me home, Diluc, and I'm looking forward to the next time we're able to meet up again. [ and maybe have a conversation that doesn't end up to be so tense? and from someone who took things too far to another who has yet to do so: ] I also hope that you do consider your happiness in where you stand with what you want to achieve.
