"It's time for you to leave," Chisaki said.
Right. Honestly, you felt the same way. You hadn't even wanted to be here in the first place, but at least you had somehow managed to improve your standing with him in the end.
Pops was done with his phone call, and after you finally finished cleaning the tea you'd spilled, it looked like they were ready to set out again. They had some sort of business errand, according to what you'd heard. Considering they were yakuza members, you weren't all too keen on finding out what exactly this business entailed.
It was ironic, though. You'd been terrified of Chisaki ever since the system had tormented you. His Quirk was incredibly powerful, and could easily kill. That was much still true, even now. But after speaking with him for a little while, he felt a lot more human to you, and this small bit of social interaction had actually helped you calm down. He didn't seem entirely evil, which probably wasn't saying much, but hey, it was still better than Shigaraki.
"I'm glad to see that you're feeling better now," Pops smiled. "Whatever it was that you were dealing with, I hope you'll be able to move past it."
Chisaki cocked a brow. "Why were you crying, anyways? You sure seem to do it a lot."
"I guess I can get a bit emotional at times," you swallowed.
Except not really. I just came out of a seemingly endless form of torture. Most people in my position would have probably reacted the same way.
"You'll need to toughen up," Chisaki snorted. "If you're so quick to break down, you won't last long in this world, especially considering how filthy it is."
"Um... right. I'll do my best. Thank you for your concern."
"I wasn't concerned," he immediately denied, and when Pops reacted by chuckling, Chisaki turned towards him with a look of disbelief. "I wasn't!" he insisted. "Do you really think I care about a stupid brat like her?"
"Who knows?" Pops mused. "It's true that you aren't exactly the compassionate type, but it's never too late to start caring."
Chisaki scrunched up his nose, and by now, you were convinced that was his trademark move or something. He also crossed his arms at you, and huffed-loudly, at that.
Jeez. He acted like giving a shit about another person was a disease in and of itself.
STATUS UPDATE:
[Chisaki Kai is slightly intrigued by you, but that doesn't mean he actually cares.]
[+10 love points.]
And yet, his points still went up, so I guess that has to count for something? Also, he clearly seems to care about Pops' opinion. That means he is capable of valuing other people, even though it'll probably take me a while to get there.
Whatever. It was fine. You were used to shit like this by now. Besides, Chisaki was a yakuza, with a powerful Quirk, to boot. You desperately wanted him on your side, not against you.
Honestly, you would be satisfied just by not making an enemy out of him.
"Thank you again for being so welcoming towards me," you said, smiling hastily before bowing your head. Chisaki and Pops were walking you out of the building, and soon enough, you would part ways. Still, you couldn't help but ask, "Will I... ever be allowed to come by here again?"
Pops blinked several times. "Oh. You want to visit us from time to time? Well... I'm not necessarily opposed to it or anything, but... we are still yakuza. I can't help but wonder what your parents might think if they ever found out."
