Richie didn't know what to think at the time. Whether someone was stupid enough to just throw a random name in and felt no care if it was the least deserving person here. With the cause spelled out for him, it's so mind-numbingly obvious that he is stupefied as to why he didn't think of it before.]
...Oh, Koharu... [He takes her hand, gives it a little squeeze.] Jesus, you gave me a scare. You didn't want to vote for her. Did you?
I get it. I almost did the same myself. Felt sick after — even when I talked to her upstairs and got the real deal. It's not easy stuff.
...But you won't do it again, right? [He taps his thumb over her hand where he holds it.] You never know, things like this could be worse if you do them second or third times.
He said if there's ever a time I'm not certain, that it's okay if I use his name instead. That way he knows it was just me, and not someone who actually suspected him of anything.

What? [He ducks his head, trying to get a better look at her eyes. The concern escalates from a six to a hard nine.]
Since when? What happened?
no subject

—I mean, he asked the angels for me! And that’s what they said, so… It’s really not a big deal.
no subject
Okay. All right, then...what caused it? Did they say how long for?
Jesus, why did they leave you all alone like this when you can't see?
no subject
It’s really fine it was my fault anyway so I’m just waiting it out……
no subject
Just tell me what happened, Koharu.
no subject
So… Do you remember how there was a vote for me yesterday? That was me.

It was just… so down to the wire, you know? And it still didn’t seem like we could really know for sure…
I didn’t want to put just anyone’s name down.

Uruha and I already talked about it, so... I have a plan if this happens again.

Thank you—I'll do that.
[ a beat, and then her eyes go a little wide ]
But, erm, putting that aside for now—is there something on my phone?
no subject
...Ah. Yeah, I figured you might have something. Let's have a look-see.
