Status Updates From Koimonogatari: Love Tale

"Don't ever forget that your life was so shamefully dear to you that you turned to your most bitter enemy rather than lose it."

Is Kaiki becoming one of my faves? Yeah.

I was intentionally talking big because I figured Senjogahara hated that kind of braggadocio more than anything. When I don't have a handle on the conversation, my first move is to say and do whatever I think will displease my interlocutor. I feel more comfortable being hated than liked —if anything lessee, maybe it's because being liked equals being faked lightly, while being hated means you're taken seriously.

"My name is Suzuki. Suzuki, written with the characters for 'bell' and 'tree.' As in, doesn't ring a 'bell' and you're barking up the wrong 'tree.' I'm terribly sorry, but I think you may have the wrong number."
"Sure, Suzuki then, whatever." She just fucking played along. "And I won't be Senjogahara, you can call me Senshogahara."

I missed Kaiki 😭😭
