[Today, the camera isn't turned on. Hikaru isn't about to really let himself be seen with bruises and a split lip. Nothing irreparable, but he doesn't feel like letting anyone see, and he's not putting on make-up just for talking to the journal.]

So. Gotta ask --

Does this place have any video games? Like... something on a handheld system? I don't even care if it should be in a museum, I need something. Been way too long since I played anything.

[It was, strangely, something he found himself missing a lot as the days went by. He'd grown up in a world of fashion... and video games.

His father had even hinted at leaving his company primarily to Hikaru while their mother left hers primarily to Kaoru. Of course, they'd both work both jobs... Hikaru wasn't quite willing to really accept the idea of being apart from Kaoru, even professionally.]

Yeeeah, I've tried it. Don't like it.

When you were a kid right?

Why not try again? People change as they grow up so you might enjoy it if you give it a second chance.

The only person I like playing video games with or against is Kaoru.

Awwww, really?

[That's cute and sad at the same time. Thankfully she knows which one of the twins she's speaking with.]

That doesn't sound like a lot of fun, Hikaru. There's always other kinds of games that don't need a console or a handheld, would you be interested in one of those?

Nope! Boooring.

Why?

Because other games involve people who aren't Kaoru. And people who aren't Kaoru are boring.

And do you know others are boring without getting to know them first?

Yep. Been around other people for way too long not to know that.

So you're just gonna plop everybody under the same blanket then? That's a stupid way of thinking and it's pretty damn shallow to boot.

[How can one person be so naive and narrow minded?]

Haven't met anyone who's proven us wrong.

[Okay, one person. ...Maybe five. But this girl? Definitely isn't Host Club material.]

Now that I find hard to believe. It's like you won't even given people a chance before you just label them as boring.

[And Selphie wouldn't want to be a member of the Host Club anyway.]

Because they are boring.

[Well, here comes the sarcasm but Hikaru's kinda asking for this comment.]

Yeah, because ignorance is always bliss.

You would certainly know.

Oh please. You don't know the first thing about me.

And you're an expert on everyone, I'm sure. So, run along now and go bore someone else.
