Someone told me once that knowing that your conviction is greater than everything that tries to tear it down is the best kind of victory. [ spite, basically. he glances back at the graves, absently, just for a moment, and reaches out to fuss and fix one of the flowers on it. ] So I've been trying to spite that thing in every way that I can.
... if you ever need a little help, I've gotten pretty sneaky about helping people on the low down. Someone gave me the idea to anonymously heal a bunch of people last week, just cause I could. I've got no vouchers now, but it was worth it. [ the smile warms up a little further, there. a NICE prank. (?) ] I'd recommend it. Lets you help people without them getting all gushy in your face, which is kinda embarrassing. You know?
Well, hey, you're my alibi now! [ clearly kidding!!! ] Nah, nah, don't worry, I told somebody when I did it, so I wouldn't get people freaked out. Gotta be careful, you know?
It felt good, though. It was nice to see people happy.

[ ichiro gives her a little smile. it's not particularly bright, but it's there. ]
...Feels like an act of rebellion, a little bit. Being good to people.
[ sometimes that's all you can really do. ]

Guess I've been trying that a little more than usual, lately. If only to spite the piece of crap that said it wanted us to "hate a little more."
