[That gets snapped this time, Aki clearly annoyed by the repeated insistence. She's only had two beers, what kind of constitution does Denji think she has?! She leans back to look at her, frustration obvious as she keeps picking at this topic. What is up with her? Has no one ever called her cute in her life? Does she even recognize how annoying she is right now? The answer to both is probably a resounding No but even knowing that, Aki is getting sick of her bullshit.]
Cuteness is different, it's... It's more about... [Ugh, this is so stupid. She drags her eyes away from Denji, back to the screen. She's on stage now, a far shot as she does some kind of dance, but the music is covered by the news anchors talking.] Someone being pretty is conventionally attractive. Someone on a magazine, or whatever. But cuteness...
[She frowns. Taps the edge of her beer can, half empty. One and a half drinks, then.]
Cuteness, it's like... Haven't you ever heard anyone say that something's so cute, they want to gobble it up?
[She squeezes the can slightly, the aluminum creaking under her grip.]
You kind of want to bite it or squeeze it, because it's so cute... Not that you want to hurt it - But you need some kind of outlet for that. Someone being pretty, you don't feel that.
[And she takes a drink. Like that just so succinctly explained everything.]
