Kitchen (Survivor Aichi)
-...Can he really get a job here? He's still not in great shape mentally.-
-Wrong off day and he could cause some serious trouble for his employers...-
-...And he highly doubts he would be allowed to have his crowbar with him.-
"...I've got a feeling that a job wouldn't work out very well here..."
-...And as for a favor...-
"...I can't just ask people for favors. "
Roof (Ai)
-...No, no! He didn't screw it up!!!-
-She shakes her head.-
"N-No, you didn't! You and the Extreme Gundams are heroes, Leos!!!"
-He shouldn't say such things...!-
-Suddenly, but also gently, Ai finds herself trying to hug him.-
-Not even thinking about her crush or anything. She just... she wants to comfort him, somehow...-
"...Y-You didn't do anything wrong... Y-You've been fighting your h-hardest and..."
-A-And...-
"...N-No one believes you're at fault!"
-...S-She knows that...-
"...A-Aichi doesn't blame you either, Leos!!!"
-She feels she would know if Aichi blamed Leos...-
-All she feels when she thinks about him is that bad feeling... which can now be identified as 'AICHI HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED'.-
Right- so basically.
If you're too polite, you look like a doormat.
Everyone steps on you, and you never really get what you want.
Because you're not assertive enough.
But if you're too assertive, then you become arrogant and bossy.
And that's because you're not polite enough.
The trick to getting anything is using a bit of both.
Sometimes weighing on one more than the other, but on the whole- you need a little of both.

-Aichi nearly sighs. Honestly he used to be able to assert himself when he needed to.-
-He's changed a lot since his teenage years...-
-...But at the same time that confidence has, for the most part, kind of faded due to the zombie apocalypse...-
"I can't ask people to waste their time and resources... I'm lucky Muramasa wanted to upgrade my crowbar..."
-Aichi finishes up his meal and begins to stand up.-
"...But I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Xenos."
-He starts walking towards the door...-
"...I'll see you later."
-He's going off to patrol again. That's one thing he's pretty much never going to stop doing.-
Roof (Ai)
-...-
"...L-Leos... You didn't have have control over ending up here..."
-Aichi didn't. Ai didn't. None of the Aichis did... Countless others didn't.-
"Y-You can't be blamed for this! None of us want you to blame yourself..."
-...What can she do to make Leos understand that this isn't his fault...?-
"...It really isn't your fault, Leos..."
-She doesn't know what to do, but she remains hugging him.-
-Vas is walking through the upstairs hallway, pacing a little bit as he tries to figure out what he should be doing... he doesn't exactly have a clue on how to approach this situation-
-There's a whole forest to search, three villains, and last he checked Al was down-

Especially... well. Y'know the bear?
He's... yeah, he's my archnemesis. Bad News Bear. I find him tough when he's alone. I usually manage to come out on top but... with support...?
He hates my guts too. I just know he'd try to ambush me, at least... or one of you two. He's the type to attack others in order to get under your skin.

You definitely need a new outfit, yeah.
Luck won't save you forever.
Maybe pick up some armour too.
