Muramasa?

Geez, that's some high profile workmanship for a crowbar, no offence.

Go to a famous sword-maker to upgrade your crowbar.

You humans are crazy, and I love it.

-Well, he didn't really so much go to her as she offered to do it...-

"I-It just sort of happened, I guess..."

-He's actually a tad sheepish now.-

-Almost like what people would expect from the more normal Aichis.-

"I didn't expect it."

-He legitimately did not expect Muramasa to offer to upgrade her crowbar... especially with the way she said that she wouldn't have accepted his commission even if he had good reasons.-

That's some solid luck.

Guess karma's paying you back for- y'know.

-Karma... Could that really be it? Aichi was chalking it up to Muramasa being generous...-

-Combined with multiple Critical Triggers luck.-

"I didn't really think about it, but maybe..."

-He's not denying they're zombies anymore. He's finally snapped out of that denial.-

-Pretending they were something else wasn't doing him any good.-

-So... Despite how terrifying it is...-

-...He now accepts that they're zombies.-

-And he takes another piece of pizza.-

-This is... what, his fourth piece?-

-He's probably going to regret eating all of this...-

"...It's strange. Today I feel almost... normal..."

-He seems confused... but also somewhat relieved.-

-He's not panicking today. He's not angry today. He's not frustrated today. He's not scared today. He's not drained today. He's not depressed today.-

-He's just... himself. He's himself.-

-...Which is honestly something he hasn't felt like in what feels like forever.-

-...Well, not exactly himself. He still has no urge to smile, he's not in a particularly jolly mood, and he's not especially energetic...-

-...But he's more like himself than he's felt in a long time.-

-He didn't even realize how different of a person he had become until he had that breakdown the other day.-

-When he broke that mirror and saw his shattered self within.-

-But... he has changed. He's changed a lot.-

-It's especially noticeable today because he's in a relatively... dare he say decent state of mind...?-

Well that's progress.

Being normal.

Well, I'm guessing it is.

Honestly, normal's subjective.

-Yeah, Aichi would say it's progress. He thinks.-

-Although... he's honestly afraid he'll go back. Back to how he has been for the last several months.-

-Today is just a good day, he guesses...-

-He doesn't want to be afraid, on edge, nervous, wary, frustrated, upset, tired...-

-...He wants to be in a decent mood...-

-...But he can already tell that this probably isn't going to last.-

"I don't know if I've ever really been normal to begin with..."

-He's always been a little different than others. People liked bullying him for a reason, after all...-

-And he has PSY Qualia. That is definitely not normal by any meaning of the word.-

"...I feel normal for me, at least."

-He's still working on that fourth piece of pizza.-

Well, that 'least' is really more valuable than what you give it credit for.

-And his fifth slice of the pizza.-

-There are... what, eight slices total? He's going to eat this whole thing!-

-His stomach is going to be killing him, isn't it...?-

-Thankfully he's going to be able to work this food off well enough. He patrols this place very often and for a very long time, after all.-

The most you can be is you.

Because you is all you'll ever really be, y'know?

Sure the "you" might get better, but in terms of what's 'normal', you is the most normal you can be.

-Then he hears Xenos.-

-...-

-...-

-...Oh geez, how many pieces did he eat?!-

"...Yes..."

-He's feeling self-conscious now.-

-He only just realized how many he's eaten.-

"...I, um... haven't had pizza since before I left America..."

-Not to mention that he hasn't really felt... you know, up to really eating since several months ago.-

-He got a small amount each time. He had to settle for what he could scrounge up for a long while, and that amount of food sort of stuck with him even here.-

-...But today he sort of found that he had an appetite.-

-It's a little dumbfounding. It reminds him of how he used to be as a child (For some reason he was a pretty darn hungry kid for one reason or another)...-

-...He's going to need to do a lot of exercising to work off those five pieces of pizza, isn't he?-

Well enjoy it!

All of it.

After all, I gave you a pizza and didn't say "share it with someone else", did I?

It was meant for you.

-He's still extremely dumbfounded that Xenos decided to give him the pizza, but he's not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.-

-If there were other people around he would offer to share what's left (He already went overboard and ate five out of eight pieces), but there isn't anyone other than them around...-

"W-Well... Thank you. I should probably save the rest for later though..."

-He's still feeling extremely self-conscious after having eaten more than half of the pizza during the course of this conversation.-

-...Geez, today's a weird day for him...-

-...It says something that a good day is weird for him.-

-Being sick because he ate too much is not an option.-

"...I haven't eaten that much in a long time..."

-Seems like he's still a little dumbfounded by the fact that he managed to eat five pieces of pizza.-

Eating a good amount of food can help you build muscles.

Gives you more energy to work with.

"...I haven't been eating that much back home. Not when things are the way they are."

-A lot of places with food were completely filled with zombies. Places like supermarkets were a no go.-

-He originally got a hold of plenty of food from his house and stuffed it in a good sized bag along with other supplies, but his stuff was very quickly stolen. It was after that he started realizing that he couldn't be careless with what he had.-

-Not to mention that he felt he had to finish eating fast. He did not one to stay sitting in one place for very long. The longer he sat still eating food, possibly making noise...-

-...The more likely it was that one of the zombies would find him, take him off guard, and kill him.-

-He had close shaves quite a few times.-

-So he got into the habit of not eating very much.-

-It wasn't healthy, but he somehow managed to keep going anyway...-

-...Maybe the lack of proper nutrition was also a cause of some of his problems...-

Alright, let's see here, what do I need?.....
