That's a type of power, isn't it?

[ballies]

It's a type of privilege is what it is.

[damp]

[ ............. ]

I think no one should have money.

[ballies]

You want to go back to trading two sheep for a bag of rice?

[damp]

Y-yeah. When you think about it, money is the root of all problems.

[ballies]

[ … ]

You’re not wrong. We really made up a money system and then applied real world rules to it and now look where we are.

Marry rich, Rin. Money can’t buy happiness, but it definitely helps.

[damp]

[ ... ]

Actually, I... probably won't have to worry that much about money.

[ballies]

[ gasp. ]

Are you marrying rich??

[damp]

What? No! But if I make it as a successful athlete then hopefully I'll get sponsorships.

[ballies]

... And then you'll be the one people'll be marrying to get rich...

[ wow. ]

You want to be an athlete though? What're you training in?

[damp]

Hopefully not...

[ Clears his throat. ]

Swimming. It's been my focus for as long as I can remember.

[ballies]

You don't want to marry??

[ stop ]

Oh.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh-- and then there's Haru with the pool... oh I get it now.

[damp]

[ NOT THAT

Anyway. ]

Yeah. We've been rivals since we were kids. We're on the same team now though.

[ballies]

[ softly: ]

Aw... you were rivals and now you're friends again?

[damp]

[ Smiling. ]

We can be friends and rivals at the same time.

[ballies]

[ and lovers... ]

Sounds complicated. But it must be good if it's pushing you both in friendly ways.

[damp]

That's exactly it.

What about you? [ o: ] Are you a... ghost?

[ballies]

[ immediately: ]

Boo.

[damp]

You can just say no.

[ballies]

This is funnier.

[ hehe ]

But no, I'm not a ghost.

[damp]

[ Glances at her hands. ]

Okay.

[ballies]

I literally just hugged you yesterday.

[damp]

I know you're solid!

[ballies]

Right. Usually a good sign I’m not a ghost, other examples don’t count.

[damp]

You just kind of look like one.
