... I'm managing. You don't have to worry about me, though.

[peripheries]

I do.

[He sighs. Then glances around before back at her.]

Why were you so hesitant to participate yesterday?

[cupidsammo]

... Sorry.

[ Just starting with an apology off the bat here; Koharu pulls back, guiltily lowering her head. ]

After what happened to Uruha, I just... wanted to ignore it all. I didn't want to think about it anymore.

[peripheries]

It's alright. I just... I didn't want people to think it was you. I was afraid you would be targeted.

[he sighs]

You were close to him?

[cupidsammo]

[ A beat, then a nod. ]

... Yes. He's someone important to me, so hearing how he was killed... I don't know. I stopped thinking straight.

[peripheries]

I understand.

[If it had been Anders...]

I didn't speak to him much. But he still wrote me a letter and acknowledged me. I wish I had gotten to know him more.

[cupidsammo]

It can be hard to get to know everyone well, but—he is very kind. Maybe you can tomorrow.

[peripheries]

I'd like that very much.

[cupidsammo]

... Good. I don't think we would turn down a conversation if you wanted one.

[peripheries]

I do. I'll just have to think about what I want to say. I've never had people to look forward to seeing again and thinking about what I would say to them.

[cupidsammo]

Hah... It's not always easy even if you've done it before. Maybe start with thanking him?
