I don't ask you why you come around and ask me things, do I?

Maybe I just wanted you to feel like you were in emotional debt to me so I could cash it in at a later point.

Maybe back then I didn't have people like Akira and Chuuya ruining my reputation.

[successives]

I've never talked to either of them about you.

[Excuse denied!]

[It's blunt, but it's not biting. Right now, she's more disinterested than she would normally be.]

[recrypt]

[successives]

[She shakes her head.]

It's fine.

... if you say so, then.

[ if further conversation isn't going to be much of a thing, she'll just go back to taking up a quiet vigil, until someone who actually belongs here shows up. ]
