[ post-reaper's game neku sakuraba may as well be a completely different person from who he used to be before he got shot in the face, but socializing still isn't exactly something he's gotten used to overnight.
don't get him wrong—he's genuinely thankful for shiki's presence in this strange place, but even though he's come miles in how he interacts with the world around him, he's not really keen on willingly going out to just casually mingle with other people. he hadn't even gotten the chance to properly relax and get to be normal with her before they ended up in this weird place... what ever happened to taking things at your own pace?
he's lying on his bed, idly scrolling through his mp3 player when shiki bursts in. with a sigh, because he's more than used to it at this point, he slides his headphones off his ears and pushes himself into a sitting position. ]
Come on, give me a break. I feel like I deserve that much after the three weeks of hell we went through.
[ ... he makes a show of shrugging and putting on an exaggerated weary tone, but it's not "leave me alone." ]
Neku. [But it's not as exasperated as it could be. It's "I will continue to bug you and make you listen to my point" but not quite "I'm forcing you into this whether you like it or not." He makes zero moves of sitting up or even moving from the bed and she takes that as an invitation to let herself in, cross the room, and sit next to him. She may or may not be sitting on his feet, but whatever.]
What about if what I was going to suggest was a break, huh? It's just a more active kind of break that involves leaving your room. [So like. Not a break, but she's also not saying anything about leaving the house.] Besides, I found something that I think you should check out.
