Who told you so, dilly dilly, Who told you so? ‘Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, That told me so.
ouch is one of the most intimate, romantic ways to be close to someone else. The Town knows this very well -- the Town wants everyone to be as close as possible.
Perhaps that's why this bonding is so...aggressive.
Because you're in for quite the shock on this otherwise peaceful day when you brush against the next person on your path.
Maybe you're going out of your way to touch people. Maybe you've got a terrible urge to just see what's lurking in someone's heart. Maybe you trip over a conveniently placed rock -- whatever the cause, you're getting an up close and personal look into someone else's heart.

[ it wasn't his intention to keep it from his friends, really - it just felt gauche to bring it up, especially when his newfound partner is so shy about it (despite the explicit permission they'd given him to do so.) ]
I'm happy, too. It won't be easy, but the best things in life never are, no?
[ something he thinks Akira knows well, considering his own relationship. ]
[He turns to look around at the rest of the scenery, for now. Lupin is welcome to tell him more if he wishes, of course, but Akira doesn't want to force him into anything.]
Your heart is really pleasant.
[It's nice. Akira is glad someone seems to have mostly happiness here.]
[ possibly the weirdest compliment he's ever gotten, that one, but he takes it in stride, expression amused. He pats his own chest with a laugh. ]
Yeah! I put a lot of work in to have this stunning personality.
[ his life... was actually incredibly hard, but he's managed to overcome all of it, more or less. He's not as perfect as he seems, but he's not half as damaged as he could be. ]
I'm not sure what the point of coming here is, but it's a nice break, at least, accidentally showcasing my love life aside. Cairngorm's going to be mortified.
[It's something to be proud of, in Akira's opinion. Plenty of people were done less dirty by the world, and came out the other end gnarled and hateful. Lupin, though... Lupin managed to keep his spirits up through it all.
Akira hopes he can be the same, some day.]
It's alright. I won't tease them.
[A pause, while Akira glances up at the statue, and then he adds:]
