(Reycho's perspective)
Takes place partially during the last chapter.

Reycho and Pochi have a talk, one has a darker outlook on the reality than the other.

I continuously threw the ball as Kansai batted, I was pretty surprised at how much he had improved in swinging after he awakened. Actually.. do I even remember how Kansai batted before his awakening anyway? Maybe my memory circuits are messed up. Probably some side affect of transitioning from being remote controlled to an independent AI. I'd talk to Pochi or Nyoro about it later.

"Hey what's up Reycho? You seem a bit out of focus." Kansai shouted from basically the other side of the field. "I'm fine don't worry! Just thinking." I shouted back.

Kansai slowed down with the batting to focus more on the conversation, "Really? Thinking 'bout what! You seem pretty deep in thought, also I suggest we take a break. My arm's getting weak!" I nodded and placed down the ball in the grass. I walked over to Kansai and gave him a quick fist bump.

"Man I need to get used to you talking." Kansai laughed. I nodded, "I need to get used to myself talking too. Anyway to answer your question, I've been thinking about Pochi, I guess. " We both sat down next to each other.

Kansai suddenly looked oddly surprised, "Really? What about him?" I stared blankly at the sky for a few moments, unsure what to really say. I hummed out loud, still thinking quietly. "I haven't had many chances to talk to him that much today, I really do wanna talk to him though. But it feels like I might make him uncomfortable..?"

"Whaaat!? How would he feel uncomfortable around ya'? You're literally the only person he can't be uncomfortable around." Kansai softly punched my arm in a teasing manner. "Here how bout' this! I'll talk to Pochi for ya!"

"No, I'll be fine." I quickly denied. With Kansai's stubborn and loud personality, I didn't even consider him being able to communicate for too long with Pochi without the dark navy haired boy to immediately either become annoyed or scared. "I'll talk with Pochi myself." I smiled proudly. Kansai blindingly smiled back and bumped his fist to his chest twice and gave me a thumbs up. I did the motion back and stood up from the grass. "Have fun with that!" He shouted as I walked off.

It took me a minute or so to walk across the field and out the fence gate, I glanced up from my shoes to see Pochi waving off Vanilla. She said something quick and ran off to Aniki and Pai who had just gotten back. I assumed they'd gotten ice cream or something because of the bag Aniki was holding, it had the store logo on it.

I turned away from the two and glanced back towards Pochi. He was sitting on the bench, fiddling with what I assumed was a loose string of his bandana. I'm pretty sure that thing had to be sown back together by Pai, there were so many holes and tears it was almost un-wearable. Well, that's what Vanilla told me.

I bounced over to the bench he was at and sat down, he didn't notice me at first. Zoned out, I see. I thought to myself. I hummed quietly as I brang my hand forward, gently resting my hand on Pochi's fluffy hair.

He flinched at the sudden touch. "H-huh?" He glanced at me, dazed in confusion for a quick moment. "Oh. Reycho, hi." Pochi said, surprised at my sudden appearance. I ruffled his hair, grinning happily. "Hi! I just wanted to say hi really, and talk to you. Being around you is nice y'know?" Pochi smiled at my sentiment, "That's good, I actually wanted to talk to you too. Uhm.. could we go inside to talk about this? W-with everyone around it's kinda overwhelming for me to think."
