jupiter didn't know why he decided to open up the topic out of the blue, but considering how well...everything was going with pluto. the fact that they were...well, /friends/ jupiter couldn't help the nagging question suddenly coming through.

"pluto, why did you...decide to give me a second chance?" he looked down. the two were sitting on the island of jupiter's kitchen. had been talking about poetry, and jupiter occasionally adding some sardonic insight.
