“ Just make sure you don’t wash it above thirty degrees, otherwise it’ll come out way smaller. And you don’t need to give me anything in exchange. I haven’t knitted in ages, so consider it some sort of practice. ”

A hobby was a hobby, and Machi would never complain about making something, even if it was for someone she wasn’t particularly attached to. If she hadn’t wanted to do it, she simply would have said so.

Besides, knitting a scarf or making a hair tie was far from difficult.

For someone who seemed to despise every second of it, she didn't seem all that bothered to make it for him with such intent. He couldn't have been someone who asked for something too different.

Though even though his request was something simple,

The only reason it had taken her so long was because she couldn’t quite figure out how to make them feel personal without making the result look too niche.

Now contemplating her own work in his hands, she crossed her arms over her chest.

especially while embroidering them late into the night until they looked exactly the way she wanted.

When she noticed him enter her field of vision, she didn’t flinch.

She simply took a step forward and casually handed him what he had asked her to make.

“ There. ”

After spending most of her nights figuring out how to make everything look right ; stylish without being too niche, Machi finally held the finished scarf and hair tie in her hands.

She had spent more than one evening cursing Lycagon for asking for those details,

[ᗯᕼᗩTᑕᕼᗩ ᒪIᔕTEᑎIᑎG TO ? ! ~ @BedlamCalamity]

Air booping her nose.

I am already here silly ! ~

For the first time in a long while, she found herself wondering if her intuition had become clouded, tainted by the fact that she had started questioning it.

Something that had never happened to Machi before.

[— ˏˋ°•*⁀➷** $†ιchεδ ³ @FUSH1ASTICH3S]

Machi was far from an idiot. She was well aware that Lycagon had probably guessed why she wanted to leave or why the ringing in her ears had suddenly become so unbearable.

She was used to these brief moments of overwhelm.

[ᗯᕼᗩTᑕᕼᗩ ᒪIᔕTEᑎIᑎG TO ? ! ~ @BedlamCalamity]

Lycagon's weakness was the fact he couldn't ignore someone's obvious avoidance, he knew that the ringing couldn't have been from the people but from him due to the earbuds being given to her earlier. Something was bothering her,

She didn’t let it show. Instead, she gave a small nod, though her gaze lingered on him a little too long to hide the doubt behind it.

Rather than voice her suspicions, she turned her attention back to the arcade entrance.
