You do not owe anybody wanting them, okay?

[aquaticrush]

...You really think that, even for me.

[harpbeat]

'Course I think that.

[aquaticrush]

Why? It'll hurt people.

[harpbeat]

It will not hurt people if you stand up for what you want to do.

[aquaticrush]

Are you going to hit me again?

[harpbeat]

Nope. Worked it out of my system.

[aquaticrush]

*rubs face* Okay... I know you don't want me to apologize, but I'm really sorry. I just didn't know what to do. I still don't.

[harpbeat]

Let me lay it out real simple for it. You. Do not have an obligation to do anything romantic or sexual with or for anyone, ever.

[aquaticrush]

*She blushes and shrinks back, clasping her hands.*

I-I'm sorry. What you're saying makes sense, but I'm really afraid. I'm afraid of hurting people or disappointing them, and I thought it didn't matter because nobody could really love me, anyway, much less somebody I really wanted to be with noticing me. Please don't get mad at me for that, either. Actually, I guess you can.

[harpbeat]

Okay. Let's say, hypothetically, that nobody ever notices you that you want to notice you.

That still doesn't mean you should sleep with guys you don't want to sleep with. Being single is not that bad.

[aquaticrush]

B-but someone who's brave enough to say something -- *not like her, she thinks* -- doesn't that person deserve to be happy?

[harpbeat]

Nope.

[aquaticrush]

No?

[harpbeat]

The word for people who think you owe them sex is 'assholes'.

[aquaticrush]

*She is bright red now.* I, I wasn't even thinking about -- well, I guess if I were asked I probably wouldn't have said no, it's like I said, I don't want anyone upset -- you -- um. Do you really think so?

[harpbeat]

I really think so, Retasu, and I'm not changing my mind.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry. I didn't want you to be angry with me.

[harpbeat]

I'll get over it.

[aquaticrush]

Are you sure?

[harpbeat]

Promise.

[aquaticrush]

W-well, okay. I still want to make it up to you, although if I'm still supposed to be honest I'm scared of admitting that please don't hit me.

[harpbeat]

Alright, no more hitting you. And you don't have to make it up to me.

[aquaticrush]

You're actually nice.

[harpbeat]

Yeah, yeah. Don't let it get around.
