[It's pretty obvious that out of anyone in the group, Haru has more emotional intelligence than any of these dumb boys do, who can't even bring it to themselves to stop shitting the pool and talk about the stuff that actually bothers them.

He doesn't think too much of her correcting him, either. She's right, of course. It's forgiving, not condoning, but honestly, Ryuji knows how that operates at such an intrinsic level that he doesn't even have something in response to it. It's just acceptance. He's quick to forgive, himself. All it ever took was a "sorry, dude" and things were back to normal. And when he messes up? He tells people to punch him around until it makes them feel better.
But he can breathe now, and it's better like this. Getting stuff out in the open, not keeping things back. It was still the right thing to do, he has no doubt about that.]
So, uh... speakin' of moving forward... You didn't happen to find any presents from Destinyland hangin' around your room, right? [There's a pair of monkey ears with his name on it that he's too embarrassed to keep around.
It's somewhat contextual too. Up until the moment that it wasn't, Destinyland was one of the best memories he's ever had. And guess who was the one who provided that backdrop? Haru, of course.]
