[You know what's fun??? listening to a text-to-speech program read one long run-on sentence like this. As soon as the train of words starts Ruler is a little startled because Minako really seems to be panicking, but when it all settles in she feels a bit..... lost.
Congrats Minako you tried to ask a world-famous virgin saint from the 1400s about. Dating advice.]
Um... I can't say I have any sort of experience with this, but he does seem to care about you if he's acting in such a way around you. A-And it certainly sounds like you care for him as well...!
[But dating??? That comes after you agree to begin a relationship, right???]
[ If only Minako had ever paid any attention in history class, huh..
At least she's aware enough to also switch over to voice after sending out that mass text, since she knows it's easier for the other girl to communicate this way. Whether or not that's a good thing remains to be seen though, since she ends up honing in on a very specific bit of information there-- ]
You don't have experience?! That's impossible! [ But she's so cute!! Minako would date her! Not that Minako wouldn't just date anything that moves, but still.. ] .. oh, wait, it's just since you can't remember your experience from during your life, right? I get it.
[She appreciates it, really. Not that she has a problem with people who prefer text, of course not! It's fine whatever they prefer, but... you know. It's a little nicer having something that matches up.]
Yes, that's correct. I still haven't remembered anything from my first life. [Is that weird?? She hopes not...] Why do you say it's impossible? I don't think never being in a relationship before is that odd...
[ Because.. you know! Maybe some people aren't as much into romance as much as Minako is, and she will respect everyone's lifestyle, even if she can't understand the whole no-romance-please deal herself. ]
But it's odd since you're so cute, you know? [ Said without any hesitation. Being shameless comes in handy sometimes. ] Your hair and eyes are so pretty, and you're such a kind and gentle person! You'd think people would be lining up for you!
[A-Ah... okay, yeah, Ruler's face is definitely flushing a little at all those compliments. She always thought she was a little plain, really...!]
I guess I never really paid much attention to that sort of thing... not that I can remember, at least. [With her memories being a big blank void, still...] Ah, but I think you'd be a much better target for one's affections. It's admirable how outgoing you are, Minako, such things are important in relationships, I think.
[Right??? Like it would probably be easy to go on dates and stuff with Minako, and that sort of thing is a big part of relationships... right??? Geez, she doesn't know anything about this sort of thing...]
Which is why I think you should tell this man how you feel.
[ Minako definitely smiles to herself at that compliment - although it fades a little at what Ruler says next. She's kind of glad she ended up using the phones for this, since it's not something she likes showing to people in person as much. ]
Ah.. That'd be the problem with all of this, I guess. [ It'd sure be a lot easier if she could just go to this person and ask them how they feel!! She can do that, she's outgoing and direct enough for it. ] He's not here. I remembered him this morning, which must mean he was part of my life before.
[Just as Minako's joy seems to fade a little, so too does the line on Ruler's end go a bit quiet. It's... hard to address this, because in the short time she's been in the heavens, none of her own memories have returned. She wishes she could sympathize with Minako, tell her she can understand... but she really can't.]
[ Minako doesn't realise that the whole thing could dampen Ruler's spirits a bit as well - it only hits her once she hears the other girl saying that.
And that, obviously, makes her motivated to try to act as Cheerful As Possible about this. Because dangit, if she's going to be the Exemplar here, then that means Ruler is like one of her girls now. Which means she's determined to keep her happy and try to take on as many of the heavy things as possible by herself instead. ]
No, no, it's alright! [ At least Minako is super good at making her tone instantly sound more like her cheerful self again. Shove all issues under the carpet until she's ready to deal with them in private. ] I mean.. It's weird, for sure? But we have entirely different lives here now, so it's fine!
You should totally tell me too once you remember something! I guess it could still be a while until then, since it took me months to remember anything at all too.. But then we could have some sort of fun slumber party where we tell each other about our memories! Natsuru can join in too! Doesn't that sound like it'd be fun?
