Day 60: Music Room (Fourth Shift)
It wasn't often that Renji felt less like punching people in general as his day wore on. This was a new experience for him. A not unwelcome one, if he was being honest. And the fact that he felt less like punching Fai? Kind of mind-blowing. The sort of thing Zen masters would probably use as a kouan to reach an all-new level of non-punching enlightenment.
So he was back from the dead, almost everyone he'd known was gone, and yet bizarrely his day felt like it was looking up. Kind of. Renji wasn't sure what to make of this. Maybe his grumpy meter was just nearing empty. That was as good an explanation as the next, considering how this place made him feel.
Whatever the reason, he ended up in the music room. And he remembered oh yeah. He'd always kind of hated this damn shift. He grabbed a little book of music and a drum and retreated quickly to the far end of the room. He put the drum down in front of him just so he looked like he was doing something and opened the book. But he had no idea how to read music, and really, he was more interested in the ongoing puzzle of what the hell had happened in the last four weeks.
And brooding. Of course. There was always brooding to be done.
[Okay Tolten, let me lay it out for you. When there's a mommy and a daddy... or sometimes a daddy and a dadddy. Or, hell, sometimes a mommy and a mommy if you buy the right kind of wood cuts (and a third mommy if you go to just the right shop)... but anyway when they love each other very much, or at least a suitably large amount of money changes hands, there are some things that happen...]

It took Utena a few seconds to get the idea of what Sechs was actually saying. Her first thought at the word "model" was fashion modelling, like the kind Juri did sometimes. But what models were also fighters? Was there some kind of Super Fighting Modeling League...? Then Sechs mentioned the word "cyborg" and she got what he meant. Ah! So he's like Aigis, then? she thought. No wonder he'd had such incredible powers the night before. Talk about firepower!
Her eyes went a little wider with understanding and interest at that, and she answered: "Oh! You mean like an artificial body or something, right? Ahahah, sorry, but yeah, those aren't exactly common in my world," she said with a light laugh. Her smile went a bit warmer then. "And besides, even if they were, I don't think I'd want to change anyway. It's cool if others want to, but I like my body the way it is. No one ever said a girl can't wear a boy's uniform or do other things that boys do, so why should I have to change to do those things?"
