Well, yeah, 'course one should! And sure, you don't, but that doesn't mean you're not friendly, Suou-kun. I wouldn't say it's a vice, since you're talking to me just fine. You've got that noble aura around you, but I dunno... It's great to share interests with friends, but it's pretty important to remember not to force yourself into liking them just 'cause it's the new trend.

Ah, that's it? You think they'd judge you for being bad? We've gotta start somewhere, right? Even if you're a newbie, or even if you're not! There's always room to improve, no matter how pro you are.

[ Although Tori seems to be a different story, Jun presumes that Sora and Yuta would never make fun of Tsukasa. He's also realised this is a fact of life; no matter what you do, there will always be a lingering worry about being rejected by those around you. ]

Yeah, those are difficult to play with other people, unless it's a gacha. Something like Gr*nbl*e F*nt*sy, for instance, has both a story and ways to play with people all over the world.

[ Even Jun knows it won't be easy, but he hopes he can dispel even the smallest of Tsukasa's worries. With thousands of games available, it's not always easy to find the perfect match, even if you're eager to join the current popular trend.

Tsukasa's next question catches him off guard, not knowing how to delve into that, he keeps the smile on his face. ]

Aha, I guess you could say that? I just wasn't allowed to keep anything that didn't involve idols lying around the house. Instead, I'd head off to arcades after school, but it was kinda awkward 'cause I never knew anyone there. But Yuuki-san pretty much got me hooked on video games, if you're still wondering why I know so much.

[ It's not entirely a lie! But Makoto's influence definitely helped Jun develop a love of all things gaming, despite Eden using their image and music for one specific video game. ]

I'm guessing our circumstances are pretty different.
