[ when she sees someone come in, ayaka turns around much like a startled animal. she wasn't even doing anything here other than, well, simply being lost in her thoughts.

but at the question, her expression settles. with a sigh, she gives her straightforward respose. ]

Absolutely not.

[ He holds a hand up. ]

Didn't mean to scare you. I didn't expect anyone else in here.

[ ... ]

Why are you in here, then?

[simulacres]

[ his comment manages to pull a small, bitter smile out of her. ]

Because of that— I don’t think many people come here. It’s a good place to be alone.

[ it’s a simple reason; it could even be called a basic instinct. ]

What about you?

[spotsalone]

You're not fond of company?

[ Not that he shows any sign of leaving. In fact, he moves toward her as he takes in the room. ]

I thought this room might hold secrets of some sort. What else would be the point of it?

[simulacres]

I don't.

[ as he steps closer, she actually moves to give him some room. ]

I'm not really sure. I thought it was just some weird hobby, but I'm not sure what the purpose of it would be. It's not like the clocks even tell the right time.

[spotsalone]

It may just be a particular fascination of Witch's, but that does seem unlikely.

[ But then he notes her moving away from him. Hm. ]

I don't bite, you know.

[simulacres]

I wasn't trying to offend you. I'm just giving you more room.

[ see? she's not moving anymore. ]

So you think that this is all Witch's place?

[spotsalone]

[ He shrugs. In any case, he's stopped advancing. ]

Do you not?

[simulacres]

Does it matter? We're trapped either way.
