If any of the Peridots die, we shall make a new dorm PC (unless the dead, idk, become ghosts or something).

[ Yes. Absolutely, completely. A love that will only accept perfection because it only wants the best for you. That's what God is to Ainosuke. ]
I'm certain that's what He would call it.

It's starting to feel like it's some...convoluted extorsion scheme. Do whatever He wants or you get this taken away. I doubt I'm the only one in this kinda situation.
[Others probably would keep it under wraps better than Noelle does, though!]

[A cruel parent.]
...Maybe.
I think at some point, though, even "love" can turn into something bad. Maybe it shouldn't ever be that all-encompassing, as you put it.

[Ugh.]
...I hope I never have to see that again.

What you believe is right. Otherwise you're just...following along instead of having a personality of your own.
[Well at least she didn't hesitate when saying that!]

...you're the kind of guy who won't give up until I say I won't give up, aren’t you?
[It's hard to have hope but it does come a little easier when you're shaped like a person, so maybe she can try!]

[Oh what a good GOOD answer for Noelle to peek out of her shell for. He looks genuinely pleased at that.]
Good girl.
I think you're doing exactly the right thing, then. People may not like the answers you give, but if you're confident in what you believe, you will find the people that are worth being around.

...I'm not the best person to ask about that, I'm afraid. But perhaps time will give us more answers.
[A beat passes. He's returned from the kitchenette by now (rip this dorm PC for sending Solomon in five directions at once rip), so he'll set aside one of the empty cups to pour a glass for the boy.]
I don't think I caught your name.

At this point I think it's best not to trust it at all.
[Ever since she saw the chapel's stained glass, she decided to take everything in bad faith]

Mm.
While I'd say skepticism is deserved, we're dealing with a power none of us understand and some very firm rules that are expected. Even if we do not trust the motivations or identities of those around us, and even if we don't fully understand how it works, it will still be safer to treat their expectations as a firm truth until we find more information.
Especially seeing what happened to Don today. That was as harsh of a warning as one could be given. [Outside of, like... straight up murder.]

I guess I was always a little scared of rejection...
[She won't go as far to be untrue to herself, but rejection still hurts]

...I guess you're right. As much as I hate to take that stuff as a firm truth, I'll try to for the time being.
[She's not happy about it, but she will try!
Oh hey...she raises her head a little]
I just realized, you're the guy with the weird grave I checked earlier.

Do you know that from experience or something?
[He will just kind of hover around like a lost puppy, but he will also help if needed.]
My name is Pinocchio, sir. What should I call you?

Yeah, fuck you.
[Not even a stutter of hesitation. She held back in the forum by saying 'screw' because she assumes others can read it, but now that they're in person she just said fuck even though Ainosuke and Pinocchio and Zelos are right over there.
She doesn't seem particularly mad, though, she's just being a teenager, hah]
But I found you. You owe me answers.

Ahahah - sorry, sorry. I didn't want to feed the gossip pool that is our "student body". The forum felt like a bad place to continue.
[Since he's long since returned with the water pitcher, she's being poured a glass. Hydrate, girlypop.]
So! What were your questions?

Really? I've never met—or read of—anyone with a name like mine.
[Strange! He wonders, for the first time, why his father named him what he did.
Oh. He takes the glass.]
It's good to meet you, Mr Solomon. Even if the situation is not... very ideal. [He is just holding the glass.]

Alright, fine. If my elders say that then I guess I should listen.
[Well, it's easier to try this when you're back to normal. If normality holds up, she will be willing to not give up]

Please, just Solomon is fine. I don't like feeling too old.
[He settles back down into his seat with a sigh.]
Maybe we can find the story of it in the books scattered around here, if we're lucky. It's about a wooden puppet that wishes to be a real boy, and the troubles he gets into in his pursuit for fun.
