[All night isn't doable when the three other members of his unit are still at the hotel (plus a couple of other CosPro staff). They'll definitely notice if he never returns to his room. Stopping by the room of a male acquaintance just to chat, however, shouldn't seem too fishy. They'll just have to keep it subtle! That's all.

He's back to work on his second skewer when Elan drops that line about "crying for him," causing Hiyori's brows to jump. Can Elan-kun read minds?? That was an awfully uncanny coincidence just now! Though, if he doesn't want anyone crying for him, well, that's fine. After recovering from his surprise, Hiyori says as much.]

Mm, that's true.

[He hums his assent.]

I don't like crying, either. It makes my eyes all red and puffy, and I'd much rather look my best. I just wanted to let you know you could cry if you wanted, that's all.

[But as he said before, he'd rather see Elan smile.

He finishes chewing the rest of his meat in silence, takes another few sips of tea, and dabs at his mouth with the napkin. That's all he planned to eat, and since Elan-kun's still going, he decides to make a suggestion.]

Want to hear one more song? It'd give you something to pleasant to listen to besides just chewing sounds.
