[One day he will be able to do proper filters. Today is not that day.]

Question for whoever isn't bored out of their bodies by this place. What kind of things do you do to not be bored? I mean, do you go to hang out at any place in specific or something? Specially when going with someone, assuming you don't spend every time just in each others' houses.

I assume dinner out is a good idea but I'm pretty sure there has to be something else to do in this prison.

[Yes, this is a request for ideas for a date. Hopefully he has worded it in a subtle enough way that no one will notice it. Bwahaha, behold his master plan.]

Don't bother suggesting the library, that one doesn't count.

Rin,

Sorry for not answering your last letter in such a long time. I've spent most of the last month doing missions in an attempt to not drive myself nuts. Anyway I have a question for you: with whom does one have to talk to make a reservation or something where you work?

- Ikki

[This comes later in the day, actually at night. It's earlier than when he usually contacts her to wish her good night, but he knows that.]

Did you go to sleep already, Kotomi-chan?

[What's with that phrasing way. And when did he say he was asking for her sake?]

You don't think feeding yourself means much? Just because we have plenty of food now and it's free it doesn't mean tomorrow we will be able to eat again.

That aside, you've got it all wrong. My companion, if I decided to go with someone after all, doesn't need anything special to be entertained. The one who is having a boring time and wants to get out of that is me.

[Color him impressed that someone actually thought that. He's too used to people taking that for granted around here.]

Well said. I'll try to give you a serious answer, then. Since your companion, if that's what we're calling them, is so simple? Ask them. Maybe they actually got the right idea in mind.

[Ikki's the type who would take for granted bad things way before he took for granted something good, fortunately he tends to take nothing for granted, good or bad. It's hard to have your expectations broken and be caught by surprise if you don't take anything from granted after all.]

Not a bad suggestion, but it's something I've already done. That's why I said the library doesn't count. An d they are simple enough for the other option to probably be "sit together and talk" somewhere, or just talk.

[He supposes that if nothing comes up he will just keep sticking to what works, but he really wanted to check if there were other options given how often he has heard people claim that Luceti isn't that boring.]

Unfortunately I can't wrack my mind to come up with fun ideas. Especially since I don't truly know this other person and what they might fun. I doubt anybody really can.

But conversation with the right person is always fun.

[The hard part is finding that right person.]

It is. But I was wondering if there wasn't anything else to do here, specially with people claiming that this place isn't as boring as I say it is.

[But so far? It has proved to be exactly as boring as he thought, seems they were just all talk and no substance.]

Most people tend to go the social route here. Though boring and exciting is all up to interpretation.

[He's fine with just reading. It was all he had as a kid and it's never failed him.]

Beats m e why they would want to go that route only to end up cursing it when people get to return home and be free of this place.

[Inconsistency all around.]

Anyway, it seems the library is still the best option after all.

[It could be worse, he supposes.]

People tend to search out companionship, especially in a strange world. [Except him, of course. He's above all that.] Though I agree with you completely.

I didn't search for it, but with experiments and nosy people it just happens. Still I don't cry on them being sent back, if anything I just get angry because I am still stuck here.

[That's right, it's not that he misses them or feels sad, it's anger because he wants to go back already. As he has wanted since the moment he arrived.]
