A few others here have found Ryoji curled in a ball on the edge of the fountain with a bunch of ruined flowers. He knows you have to deal with people at their worst to be able to be blessed with their good side. And Toshi has a lot of good qualities about him, more than enough to make up for a bad day or two.

“Ah?” Ryoji chuckles softly and reaches over to gently tug on the hat. “You’re flattering me, honestly. What was that you said about appreciating me?”

He beams, and he’s probably just a little too close to be completely platonic. He can’t help it. Toshi is adorable for a robot that looks older than him.

“Oh, I’m sure you do know what I mean, from the blush on your face. But we can play innocent if you’d prefer as well. I’m only teasing.”
