[And so the thing about it was that despite everything, sometimes Shiki still didn't exactly know how Neku would react to things. They've been through everything together and then some, not to mention then winding up in this weird place (weirder than the UG and still "kind" enough to shove her back into someone else's body, helpfully as an excuse for her icons) with only each other and a whole lot of strangers.
Shiki wasn't adverse to strangers and Neku had gotten better at talking to them even though of the two of them she would always be the more chatty and social.
Sometimes though...sometimes Shiki wanted her own downtime and her own space and her own time with a boy who had become a treasured part of her. Sometimes Shiki wanted to be alone but not lonely and Neku was the first person to come to mind.
...and sometimes Shiki would barge into Neku's room unannounced, Mr. Mew in tow and shutting the door behind her.]
