Event Post

::

A) So, this is Kamala eating lunch in the school yard or outside the D-Wheel club. She's occasionally throwing crumbs to three things that look like cats fused with snacks.

B) Kamala is waiting at SAI, presumably in a waiting area on a couch, with three Duel Spirits dancing in a circle near her, they look like cats fused with snacks. She's poking at her phone.::

::Takes it, nodding, before getting her things together.::

I should probably get ready to go home for dinner.

::Pauses as she gets up and turns to leave, the Lollipop cat triumphant on your shoulder.::

I'm pretty sure I've met her. And I don't like her. She feels like she's me but better.

*Ruka stands up and carefully takes the lollipop cat off her shoulder, holding it in her arms for a moment, lightly playing with it.*

I don't know if this other version of you feels like she is better, but don't let her make you feel that way.
Maybe she's you, but different in some way...
...but she's definitely not a 'better' version of you.

She's faster. Smarter. Braver. More heroic. More free. More.

Everything...

*Ruka shakes her head slowly, but gives her a kind smile.*

As far as I'm concerned, you're all those things or, at the very least, you have the potential to be them.

We're always changing, learning and growing as people, after all.

Don't sell yourself short. You're an amazing person, Kamala.

I just wish I even remotely believed it...

*Ruka gives her a small sorrowful smile.*

I hope one day you'll be able to believe it.

Thanks.

C'mon guys, dinner's soon and Mom and Aunt Noriko wanna see my new dress.

::Pats her knees to get the cat things' attention.::

*Ruka loosens her hold on the Lollipop cat that's still in her arms so it can go over to Kamala.*

It was nice talking with you and like I said, feel free to contact me if you need too.

And good luck with these little guys.

::She turns, marching away, the cats marching behind her, you can almost hear "Johnny Comes Marching Home", she waves her hand a little, turning slightly.::
