[ well

tsukasa has been going out of his way to get handcuffed to people, like someone with a weird handcuff fetish, but actually, it's because as soon as whichever twin has handcuffed them has turned away, he's taking out his key and sighing as he unlocks the handcuffs.

yes, all handcuffs basically use the same key. i looked this up. they can be different, so maybe it doesn't work because it's a xian le handcuff and not his from the station, but you know? he's here for his poor police supplies. that's why he's here. also because okuni invited him. and it's a birthday party. ]

...I don't see how this will encourage us to talk anyway. It's not like everyone here is a stranger to each other - I feel like everyone knows someone somehow, don't you?

[ yes unfortunately this dialogue is the same if the key does not work with the handcuffs because they are not his, but it is said differently. like, more frustration and trying harder to unlock them. who steals two different sets of handcuffs anyway!! ]

[ aka, fireworks, because i love fireworks. which he also isn't pleased about, but he's like seventeen and fireworks are pretty frickin' cool, even if this is a danger. and a disturbance.

but it's their birthday, so he's letting them slide. just this once. don't say the law isn't nice kids it is unfortunately extremely nice, and looking extremely content and contemplative. see, the party was nice. tonight was nice. why can't all nights be this nice? why do some of them have to be, say, absolute messes, like the date auction...

well, it's fine. montevallo is montevallo after all. he takes a bite of his cake and spits it out fucking immediately, he picked the WRONG TIER FLAVOR— ]

Who puts sour cream as a cake flavor!?
