[ These poor swimming boys and their inability to understand just how insane the world Nonon comes from is. Something like beating up the police commissioning here in Cerealia doesn't even phase Nonon as a really bad thing to do. Exerting control over others with a show of force is only natural. Her school would literally pack up an army and go to other cities and subjugate them under their rule. Nonon was practically a General with her own army of fighting band girls. ]
Now that I'm out I should be figuring out a way to destroy those stupid CERES robots. [ It's all too clear that Nonon won't be taking his advice, because hell, even her girlfriend is on her side here. ]
You really do worry too much. I'm not going to die that easily. I have someone I'm waiting for here, and I won't die until I see her again.
[ he wouldn't last a minute, much less a day in such a hostile environment. he isn't used to militaristic institutions paraded as the public education system, so he can't glean the reason why it might ever be beneficial to kick someone else to the curb, sorry. it's a sign of the times. maybe he's too dated for this; an anachronism of wishy-washiness and kindness that perforates the bones. ]
Just ... don't hurt the ones that haven't done anything wrong, alright? Working for CERES doesn't automatically make someone a bad person.
[ you know, considering a good majority of them are rigged up to tellus's employment system. the same basis applied to all sentient beings, not just the ones with a heartbeat.
her proclamation jars at makoto for a second. he doesn't need to probe further to know it's someone important to nonon. ]
[ She doesn't know what kind of school Makoto comes from, but she's pretty sure it's nothing like Honnouji at least. She's figured that out by now. ]
There will come a time when people have to choose sides. But I don't plan on hurting innocent people.
[ Clearly, Nonon thinks he's talking about real people and not robots, because she wouldn't hesitate to blow up any robot.
But then comes the question of who is Satsuki, and Nonon straightens up, as if filled with pride. ]
My best friend. The leader of our group, and the President of the Student Council that I am a part of. I devoted my life to her goals. And if anyone should be here it should be her.
[ yeah, his school doesn't usually feature reality-defying uniforms as a necessary staple of the public education system. it's pretty mundane in that regard.
still, he'll take nonon for her word. sometimes rolling with the punches is all makoto can do anymore, but as far as he's concerned, nonon sticks true to her promises. if all else fails, he'll storm in, all (metaphorical) guns blazing, and gently nag her into conceding to his demands. ]
Your best friend, huh? She sounds really admirable! And also kind of intimidating? I never knew anyone on the student council back home, but they were always running all the school events behind the scenes at my school.
[ his tone drops a vocal notch, soft and obliging. ]
It sounds like you really miss her.
[ makoto can empathize with that much, at least. ]
[ His school might have reality defining abs though. But she sees enough of those around her own school, and isn't terrible interested.
Though she already has a giant nag in the girl that she is dating, does she need another?! Apparently so, because she's terrible at actually telling Makoto off. Maybe she's got a soft spot for his type. ]
She may be the student council president, but she rules the school completely, all the faculty look to her for decisions and leadership. There's no one else like her in all the universe.
[ That little comment though makes her heart hurt. ]
...Of course I do. She's the most important person in my life.
[ that blanket assumption only applies to the swim team, and to a greater concentration, most of the student populace involved in iwatobi high school's various sport clubs. they're not all profane exhibitionists (even if haru automatically strips in front of large bodies of water like an incidental display of voyeurism in front of particularly large bodies of water). makoto, for one, abhors being goggled at.
oh, she's into laboriously nagging saps. good to know. he'll be extra obtrusive just for her. ]
I'm sure she feels the same way about you.
[ no, he isn't projecting, ha ha ha, makoto didn't just ruin his relationship with his best friend for good, nah. in other news: memories have a way of spectacularly backfiring at the most inopportune moments.
makoto talks past the impressive tremors in his voice, coaxing low-key amicability back into his inflection. ]
... What's her full name? I'll keep an eye out for her if she ever shows up in the CereVice.
[ And yet, as obnoxious as that reply is, there's a slight hesitation to it. Because it's been longer and longer since Nonon has seen or heard from Satsuki, and there's a tiny part of her that has to wonder if and when she might see her best friend again. For someone as devoted to her leader and friend as Nonon is, even a tiny sliver of hopelessness is enough to make her crack. ]
Satsuki Kiryuin. But anyone who doesn't know her should be sure to refer to her as Satsuki-sama, or Lady Satsuki.
to be honest, he's picturing her friend as royalty. satsuki kiryuin, reinvented as some sovereign queen from a far-off land who could cause someone like nonon to take offense at any sign of irreverence, derisiveness only tempered by painstaking respect. there's no vacillating doubt in her haughty proclamation.
he's a little humbled by it, actually. embarrassingly enough, it probably shows, which makoto attempts to write off as consternation over nonon's regular demeanor. ]
Okay! If I see her, I'll let you know. Stay safe, alright, Nonon? You better call when you need me, or else you'll never hear the end of it.
[ If somehow telling Makoto about Satsuki helps her find her best friend even a second faster, then it was all worth it. And well... she hasn't had that much of a chance to talk about Satsuki enough. She could never tire of that.
But as much as she wants to see her, she knows that just hoping one day that she will arrive here isn't good enough. Not for Nonon. But for now she just rolls her eyes one more time. ]
Great, I'm glad to have gained a nag on my side. I'll be fine, just worry about yourself.
[ it's cool, he literally shares the same reverent mentality when it comes to haru, although his predilection comes from an entire lifespan of deep, weirdly compromising friendship. ]
You can't blame me for trying, I'm just a little concerned, geez. I'll catch you later, then!
[ or else he's bound to fall to pieces if he can't badger her to the ends of the world and back. with that, makoto disconnects the call. ]
