I want to talk to Ai. I feel really sour inside, but I don't think she knows... or even noticed, really... she hasn't noticed anything for a long time. It's probably just because she spends more time with Havoc now. I'm happy for her, and it's kind of nice that she's depending on someone else, but... what did I...?
