If you asked Kiriko
she might tell you
how she doesn't remember dreams.
But if you asked her
if she talks to herself
she might admit
that she only talks to herself in dreams.

If you asked Kiriko
if she takes herself seriously
she might laugh and/or sigh
and say she can be very serious
and sometimes not-so-serious

And if you asked Kiriko
“what is your power?”
she might give you a hard look
and after a while she might say
her power is a kind of softness.

Kiriko might ask you a question too.
Like for example if you can tell
if you’re awake or not.
If you ask her if she wants a real answer
she will very strongly suggest
—a real answer, please.
