Park
Sayaka: Bit what?
Park
...Like, someone could use my voice to catch you off guard?
Park
Sayaka: ...You got a point. But I still got other ways.
Park
...Like...?
(rests her own hand on the bench's armrest)
(isn't quite willing to sit down next to her without her given consent)
Park
Sayaka: (reaches up to touche Akebono's face)
City - Supermarket
-Our Caped Chromedome Crusader is locked in an intense struggle, a battle of wits he is on the verge of losing....!-
-Which.....brand....of potato chips.....should...he....BUY......-
....I like Utz, but Snyder of Berlin is cheaper.....
Park
...!
(recoils out of instinct)
Park
(Enough to put her out of reach of Sayaka's hand?)
Supermarket
(Around the corner of the aisle comes Val with a shopping cart of various stuff, who stops nearby and is also looking at the chip shelf.)
Park
(not quite... that was just a flinch of surprise more than anything else)
Supermarket
-Saitama looks her way, seeing that she, too, seeks potato-based sustenance-
....Hey, uh...You a big fan of any of these?
-sorta just....waves his hand at the chip shelves' general area-

Sayaka: (stops when she touches Akebono's face) ...Sorry, I probably should have asked first. (withdraws hand) But I remember what your face looks like, so...
Supermarket
Val: Hm? Oh, uh...I don't usually get chips from the store — my Aunt Ida would love to make them with her own recipe.
Park
...N-no, that's fine. It just, uh... might make others uncomfortable? Especially if they're, like, kind of mean already...
Park
Sayaka: If they were kind of mean but using your voice, then something bad happened to you.
Park
Er, well... I can get super-mean. Like, I'm not sure if you saw it, but...
(goes to sit next to Sayaka, half-expecting some horrible reaction from daring to sit next to a friend)
Park
Sayaka: Honestly, I saw that more as you being stressed than mean.
Park
...Doesn't really make it more OK...
Supermarket
...Oh. That's pretty cool, I guess...
-He looks back at the chips, folding his arms and sighing-
I can't decide what I want....
Park
Sayaka: ... (goes to place hand of comfort on shoulder) Is that a story you're willing to share?
Suu-Paa
Val: Hmm...(looks at the shelf) Well, what exactly are you looking for in a bag of chips?

Park
(flinches)
Are we... are we alone? Like, nobody's gonna sneak up on me - sneak up on us, I mean? N-not that it would make them... unhappy or anything...
Park
Sayaka: (lifts finger, turns head around to scan) ...<If you want, we can talk like this.>
Park
...
(shakes her head)
I don't - I'm scared something nasty will slip if I do. It's my mind, after all...
Park
Sayaka: Alright. (turns to face Akebono)
Park
...
.....Like, where do you want to start? Twenty years ago, ten, or...?

Park
Sayaka: Let's start with ten.
Park
...Right. Right, sorry, I... I was worried you were a bit...
