[Basil will say it, and Sunny will blush! He can't think about it too hard, the ache in the pit of his chest that only Basil can bring - pleasant, at times, like this.]
Maybe that could be the start to filling a new photo album. If you're okay with that...
( It feels like that could be a good start. He's been thinking about it for a long time now, it feels like. But, the first time that they can truly spend time with another as friends -- Basil can't think of anything that would be more fitting for a fresh start with something that feels important to him. )
[Despite all reservations surrounding things like photographs, Sunny does understand Basil's line of thought. It feels appropriate - the proverbial turning of a new page. Of course they'd both find that idea appealing. The only memories they want now are ones they won't look back on with pain...
[Is that possible, though? Photographs make things so difficult to forget. What if he'll want to one day?]
i think that sounds like a good idea
[He can convince himself. It'll be fine. It's not as scary as you think.]
( Photographs make things permanent, and that is indeed scary.
He's been scared all of this time to even try.
But, as much as people tend to hate it here, Basil feels like he finally has a chance to find some form of happiness. And Sunny seems to be doing better, too... Back at home, they wouldn't have even been talking like this. )
That would make it really special... I'd like that a lot, Sunny.
Maybe... Spooky and Marigold can join in some pictures, too. I think they had fun together during your birthday. ꒰✿´ ꒳ ` ꒱♡
( Ah... Omori... Basil wonders if he'll ever talk to him again. Maybe it's better if he doesn't. )
I think Marigold would like that. I would, too...
I promised him back at the lantern festival that I'd help make his wish come true. He drew a kitten then. It was really cute...
But, I thought that having a friend might make him happy.
You're welcome, Sunny. I thought that you and Aubrey could use them more than I could... I was upset when she had them at home, but I want the both of you to have them...
The photos always cheered me up a little when I felt lonely, So I hope that they can do the same for the the both of you.
[There's a lot to address, a lot to...talk about, make up for. It takes a while for Sunny to process the message, merely because it opens up so many doors. He could say a lot in response, but...what comes up is this:]
( There's a delay before he responds again. He's a bit scared to ask what he does next. He can't invite Sunny over with Kel's memories the way they are. It'd... hurt him, to say the least. )
Me too. I'm really grateful...
Kenma invited me to come over once If it's okay with you, and-- If it's okay with Aubrey, too I can spend time with all of you.
[Sunny hasn't really inquired much as to Aubrey's relationship with Basil - he's avoided talking about him if at all possible, in fact. To that end...]
cute....
I bet you look cute with cat ears...
( He'll say it. )
