She groaned at how easy it was to do, but still smiled despite herself. Still, she couldn't help but smile as she played through the tutorial, having easily made an ‘Inkling’ similar to herself. Akira had actually bought it for her! Though, he jokingly pointing out her resemblance to the squid girl on the cover, much to her embarrassment. She then flopped back on her bed, picking the gamepad back up. At the same time however, it wouldn't be hard for her to slip back into a depressive spiral.įutaba stood up, walking over to where she'd set up the console, and put a game into the console: ‘Splatoon’. That these thoughts were just her mind playing with her. She put the gamepad to the side, curled up and held her head, her eyes closed. Over and over, her mind seemed to be in a negative feedback loop, degrading herself again and again. In fact, it'd been a while since her and the other thieves had hung out… I-It probably wasn't anything to worry about! She thought to herself, trying to assuage any negative thoughts. Now that she thought about it, it had been about a day since he had texted her back.

Her phone laid next to her on her desk, silent. She unconsciously gripped the gamepad tighter. God, she was such a dorky and hopeless romantic. She felt her face flush as she remembered spending Christmas with him. While she was grateful for all the Thieves, and loved the other members dearly, Akira held a special place in her heart. However, this particular Wii U console was special to her for one specific reason. In fact, ever since Sojiro had taken her in, she'd slowly been amassing quite a collection.

Futaba was an avid gamer, her first console being a famicom that she and her mom used to play together. She couldn't help but smile as she saw the console whir to life and the gamepad in her hands light up.

Futaba sat on her bed, dressed in her usual nightwear, as she watched the console boot up.
