[Guess who's actually doing a network post on his own free will, for once? That's right. This kid. But ever since he'd come back from his kidnapping, he'd been feeling a little bit...off. It wasn't something he could really place, though. Not yet.

He needed a distraction. One that isn't trying to pick a physical fight with people because that never seemed to end well here. If he's already not feeling on the top of his game it's going to end even worse than usual.]

What's the point of friendships?

[There's a bit of a pause, before he tacks on:]

Don't give me that warm and fuzzy stuff, either. I don't want to hear it.

[Well, that was short and sweet enough. He's just. Going to end it here.]

[Patty spends a long while just staring at her journal after hearing Sync's query. The point of friendships... It's hard to describe it in a way that isn't warm and fuzzy, that's for sure.]

Friends are the people you turn to when you're feeling down. You can trust them with your secrets and when you wanna go have some fun, they're the ones you hang out with, ya know. They can pull you through tough times and... In return, you pull them through tough times. Friends are closer to you than other people; that's what makes them special.

But if you don't wanna hear about warm and fuzzy stuff, you shouldn't be asking about friendships. If a friendship is cold and rugged like a shark's fin, it isn't much of a friendship at all.

So basically what I'm getting is that they're only there to cover for your weaknesses. Because apparently people are incapable of doing it themselves.

[... Wow. That just blew her mind a little bit.]

Well... Well, yeah. I guess that's true. Bearing hardship all by yourself is one of the most difficult things in the world.

Maybe. But it's easier to trust yourself than to deal with other people in your business, isn't it?

Aye. Trusting others is another thing that's really difficult. Yet, once you find someone you can trust and you let them in, it's like a weight gets lifted off your shoulders. The trouble's worth it, I think.

[Could anyone really understand him, though...

...Why was he thinking about this?]

You say that now. It still sounds like too much trouble to me.

That's... up to you, I guess. Nobody can make you be friends with anyone. But just so you know, if you ever are looking for a friend, I'll be here. ...The name's Patty.

[Hmph.]

I wouldn't hold your breath on me looking for one, if I were you.

[...]

Ya know, this would be the part where you give me your name. Friends or no friends, introductions are common courtesy.

[He doesn't really want to...if she were to ever meet up with Ion, he doesn't want there to be as much of a confusion.

#Priorities.]

Sync. Happy?

Aye, I am! It's really nice to meet you, Sync! Let's be the best of vague acquaintances for now.

...Not really interested.

[NOT EVEN REALLY VAGUE. ~~I'm sorry~~]

But we already are vague acquaintances! Because I know your name and you know mine, ya know. That means we're not strangers anymore!

[By all technicalities, Patty's got a point. They will be the best of acquaintances!]

Whatever shuts you up. Are we done here?

[He hates it when people are right.]

Aye, we're done.

... For now.

[Even though she can't see it, he is rolling his eyes SO HARD.

But he'll just end it there.]
