with that rule in place, taka... has no idea how to approach it. he's not sure if his thing with madoka is even a disagreement anymore instead of just awkwardly existing within the same space. but.
[ Madoka can be found in the cathedral of the west wing, standing in the light of the stained glass windows and staring up at them. She is apparently just spacing out and enjoying the artistry of it, because she doesn't seem to notice him approaching. ]
I don't really have friends here. There's people I work with. And there's the gods, but-- it's different, kind of, with them, since they already know stuff about us.
[ he says it like he's annoyed she'd try to tell him that. ]
But if they already know stuff about you, then there's not much point in trying to hide those things. That's less of a gap you have to cross than you have with others.

well it is much easier if they just happened to run into each other, because now it's like... he has to actually approach.
...
instead taka stands there awkwardly. ]
no subject
... but not for long. she glances over and spots him after another moment. ]
Oh, hello. Are you looking for Senri-kun?
no subject
[ senri has friends ]
no subject
Of course not. You'd have to be apart from him to be looking for him.
[ after a beat she clarifies, because they're too awkward for her to feel like she can tease him comfortably ]
Um, that was a joke.
no subject
[ this is already bad ]
no subject
[ hhhhhhhhh ]

no subject
The gods are still just people. And - I'm sure that plenty of the people you work with think of you as a friend.

[ he doesn't touch the other thing ]
no subject
[ . . . ]
Then... Were you upset because it felt like you'd crossed a gap already? With me?
no subject
... this is dumb.
no subject
It's okay, though. You were upset, and I apologized for it once I understood. I think that this counts as a resolution good enough for the rules.
You don't have to force yourself anymore past that.
no subject
[ he looks over at the windows, frowning. ]
I guess so.
