[ Nods. ]

Why did you opt to be alone?

[rippled]

I never make plans with people. The week I was with Uruha was simply coincidence, and last week Waner followed me because she was concerned of my injuries.

[midway]

Why not?

[rippled]

Why should I? I am not any safer in a group. In fact, being on my own saved me from getting bruised, it seems.

[midway]

[ tilts his head... ]

It's not about safety. It's about being with people who care about you and vice versa in a terrible situation.

[rippled]

Oh? Which of your friends were you staying with in that large group?

[midway]

Are you trying to embarrass me...?

[rippled]

We are focusing too much on me, so we can talk about you now.

[midway]

My behaviour is pretty normal and average. It's not as interesting to talk about.

[rippled]

If it is that normal and average, you shouldn't be embarrassed to speak about it, right?

[midway]

[ okay!! ]

Plenty of the people at the garden are friends of mine.

[rippled]

Mm. Were you invited by anyone in particular? Or the other way around...?

[midway]

[ nods ]

Yves usually coordinates.

[rippled]

That does sound like him...

I am glad you have people who look out for you, Claude.

[midway]

... Are you worried about me?

[rippled]

Am I not allowed?

[midway]

No, that's...

[ He's embarrassed!! ]

You still didn't explain why you choose to be alone.

[rippled]

[ claude is so cute..... ]

Well, wouldn't I need to be invited to know where others are?

[midway]

[ NO ]

... Oh.

Well, I'll do that then.

[rippled]

Ah, no thank you. Getting a pity invitation is worse than none.

[midway]

It's not pity! I just assumed you'd be with Uruha!

[rippled]

Hm... the two of us are both generally fine with being on our own. He said that Marcoh was just especially pushy about it this week.

[ after uruha got jumped for solo curfewing in trial last week... ]

[midway]

... Marcoh is the pushy one? It seems to me like Uruha is stuck to him.

[rippled]

... I suppose it is mutual?

[midway]

[ Wonders if they're dating...

... Nah. ]

They seem like really good friends.
