( it was just a question, not too much of a big deal, but enough to tell komaeda a few things. she's handling this on her own, and if he could praise her for being able to get through whatever it was without being able to answer properly, then that must have done something to her hope. in response to her pursed lips, komaeda offers a kind smile that he's satisfied — for what, exactly? well, it's not like they're going to pursue the subject, and instead he focuses on their plotting. )

We can mix it together with something else, if it's a sleepover, right? ( give him a moment to think about it, he hasn't actually been to a normal sleepover, and everyone back on jabberwock (simulation) wasn't as thrilled to be in the same vicinity as him. the same could be said before then, and so he doesn't have a proper view of how this should go. he's read some things online before, and what he recalls from the girls — )

Cucumbers for people to put on their eyes... I have no idea why it's done, but isn't that a typical sleepover goal? ( holding up his hand, he points outside the hall, indicating what's to come next. ) You can eat them too, and whatever isn't devoured, the bugs can eat them.

( it goes from cucumbers to bugs, but komaeda speaks as if he's putting one and one together in hopes to make two, if it doesn't make sense, he'll fill in the gaps. )
