Eight months?! [the outburst is out of his mouth before he can even think to stop it. That's--well, it's a long time. Almost a year! Which is definitely confusing, considering Chibita feels as though he just said goodbye to him at the door earlier that day. A lot can happen in eight months, and he's about to ask about it, except, well, Karamatsu continues, going on about how much he's apparently suffered without Chibita's oden and Chibita just...he can't help but feel, oddly, relieved. It may have been eight months, and yes a lot can happen and things can change in that time, but--"perish from this world?" That's just...ridiculous. And over the top and painful and dramatic and so very, very Karamatsu. Whatever has happened, or hasn't happened, in eight months, at least he's still as Chibita remembers him from this morning in his all his sparkly, over-dramatic, dorky glory.
So though Chibita can't help but wince a little with embarrassment, there's also something inexplicably fond in the way he simply says:] Gross.
