It hurts...

It's okay. It's been worse. Um. Is everybody else alright? This time of year is terrible. Have any viruses hurt you?

[fail-locked to Miharu, he's the first one she could think of]

I-- Miharu-san? Please come talk to me if you're okay. Um. It's not really important, but.

(Retasu is affected by Plz Give Me Hugs and everything hurts.)

[oceanicbreak]

A little. But it's okay.

[aquaticrush]

Why are you so nice to me?

[oceanicbreak]

[blushy]

Well...I like you. And you really deserve to have more people be nice to you.

[aquaticrush]

Thank you so much! I... I absolutely swear I'm not just trying to replace Issei like Greed-san likes to say! So please don't think that!

*Retasu, you worry too much.*

[oceanicbreak]

Okay, I'm sure you're not.

[...Okay, Greed, wth?]

[aquaticrush]

Thank you. I worry a lot, probably too much, but that makes me feel a lot better. Um... just so it's fair, what kinds of things do you worry about?

[oceanicbreak]

Well, sometimes I wonder if I'm doing a good enough job at everything. Like, how all of the Riders who came before me were such great heroes, and I'm only just figuring it out.

[aquaticrush]

I think you're doing well. You've gotten a lot better and you've gone through a lot.

[oceanicbreak]

Thanks, but I still have a long way to go.

[aquaticrush]

Maybe I can help you more often.

[oceanicbreak]

That...would be nice. But I don't want to bother you!

[aquaticrush]

Isn't it usually me saying that?

[oceanicbreak]

I guess you're right.

[aquaticrush]

It would be nice if you did call if you needed help.

[oceanicbreak]

Sorry if I've worried you.

[aquaticrush]

It's okay. I just want to be useful. ...I know that sounds bad.

[oceanicbreak]

It's okay. I appreciate it.

[aquaticrush]

We should probably talk more! I mean, about things other than how badly we think of ourselves. I just mean that it might be more fun.

[oceanicbreak]

I think so too.

[aquaticrush]

What do you like better?

[oceanicbreak]

Well, I kinda just like us hanging out like this. When it's not a whole lot going on.

[aquaticrush]

I suppose that is nice. I'm glad that it hasn't been worse today, or lately, when it could be.

[oceanicbreak]

Yeah, it's pretty nice.

[aquaticrush]

You've been through a few different kinds of viruses, right?

[oceanicbreak]

Yeah, though the last one was probably the weirdest.
