[There is a lot of ink on this page, and not much else. Tsubaki has tried to force herself to be normal, but to no avail. She doesn't know why or how this could happen, but she doesn't really care. The word on her clothes has hit a rather raw nerve, and she cannot just dismiss it and act like it means nothing.]

...Tsubaki?

[A few more inkblots as she tries to think of what to say, and fails.]

...Yes Maka?

[makachopgo]

Are you okay? What's going on?

[camelliamagic]

I just...no, it's fine. I wouldn't want to waste your time.

[makachopgo]

Tsubaki! You're my friend, it's never a waste of time to talk to my friends.

[camelliamagic]

But I'm probably just being overly sensitive. I shouldn't let some silly prank get under my skin this much...

[makachopgo]

There's nothing silly about this prank, it's rude as all get out. Being hurt by it is definitely not an inappropriate reaction.

And you know what? They're going to get even worse than they're already going to get when I find them now.

[camelliamagic]

Please Maka, you don't have to go to such lengths on my account. Everyone else is being sensible about this and just dealing with it. I'm obviously just taking this too seriously.

It's probably all a coincidence, I'm just overreacting, there's no way anyone could have known that this word would upset me this much. No one should know about this...

[makachopgo]

Your concerns aren't invalid just because some people aren't going manic over the whole thing!

I...just...want to help you.

[More inkblots before the privacy charm is quickly added.]

I...I know.

I'm just so tired of this. I want to stop feeling guilty, but...with things like this, it seems impossible.
