“O-Oh ok… Miss Yu.” She felt bad like anything she could say would flub up everything. Her eyes were hyper focused forward and felt the anxious sweat spreading. There was certainly a pressure building in her peripheral like her every movement was being watched.——

“R-Right! Ahaha… silly me! I’m so ignorant that I had your name backwards… B-But Takeyama is cute too. Maybe it could be T-Taki for short~” Tina held her hands and crossed her legs with anxious sweat running down every inch of her body right now. She peeked——

“T-T-Tina???! W-W-W -WAHHHH!” The planet crusader’s whole head became discolored from the mere touch of Yu’s arms coming lovingly around her from behind. Not to mention she instantly became a stuttering mess upon the realization that they were on a first name basis now.——

“Oh Diane… I’m so sorry! I think she knows you did a good job. Because I think you’re pretty great too.” Tina was cautiously thinking about putting a hand on her shoulder to comfort her, but decided against it because of her social anxiety. There was something else… there——

“That sounds like an honest good time! Honestly, I’ve wondered if it’s our yellow sun keeping me sober. I get my powers from nature, so… I have a feeling I’d be weaker in a red sun solar system, probably.” Planetina has no idea that she’s parodying herself off other——

“Well… for reasons I don’t want to get into I’m pretty low on my faith with humanity right now. I’m not sure who I could begin to trust!” She felt a little bad venting to a stranger, especially someone who probably has better things to do. “Oh! I’m Planetina by the way.——

After an hour or two Tina was finally able to settle her mind enough to sleep. It was much easier knowing that Yu wasn’t angry with her and that everything would be fine. When she woke up she was on her side. Even her first waking moment she looked to the other side of the——

“Yeah… I guess when I first woke up on this Earth they kind of expected me to figure it all out. The whole hero thing. I’m supposed to save people, but I lost sight of that joy somewhere down the line…” She had a hint of sadness still lingering in her voice as she looked——
