This all seemed to take a little while to properly process in Karasawa's young, teenaged mind. While Hat-chan had turned out to not directly be asking him on a date, she was indeed propositioning that she set him up with someone out in public, in broad daylight, amongst a crowd of others.

Needless to say, this was a weird situation!

And not to mention, he was being asked to be the rebound... Not the highest thing on the food chain.

[i][color=a187be]...Will I be busy any time soon?[/color][/i]

He racked his mind, searching for any activities that would possibly provide evidence in the affirmative.

None. And would it be just of him to leave some person suffering and downcast simply because helping out would be weird?

No. If that were the case, he wouldn't have stopped half the muggings he did by chasing the perps down with a literal full head of steam. He didn't know if he could be a good rebound guy for Hat-chan's friend to get with...

[color=a187be][i]Buuuuut maybe I can try and do that 'talk her through it' stuff, if nothing else.

Help her get over it.

Yeah. Do that girl some justice.

[color=a187be]"Uh... Fuck it. Sure. Grab life by the horns and all that. I'll give it a shot."[/color] he finally replied.
