[opens the door to step out onto the roof]

... ah. Hey.

[hakabana]

...

[hakabana]

Raphael-sama.

[healingcock]

... are you busy?

[hakabana]

[laughs, turning around to full face him, leaning against the railing]

Not really, no. What's up?

[healingcock]

Can we talk?

[hakabana]

If you want. Here? Or somewhere else?

[healingcock]

Here's fine.

[walking over to, hands in his pockets]

So... I take it you've heard about what happened with Itachi and Neji.

[hakabana]

Of course I did. Guessed first, then got it confirmed.

[healingcock]

And you obviously know about my involvement.

[hakabana]

Well, yeah. Raphael-sama's a big part of what's going on.

[healingcock]

... I owe you an apology.

[hakabana]

Do you?

[healingcock]

Yes. I hurt you. I hurt Itachi. I destroyed one of his most important relationships by acting selfishly, and I'm certain you're angry with me because of it.

... I just want you to know that I'm sorry for what I did. And that... I shouldn't have let things come this far.

[hakabana]

...

What do you want me to say?

[healingcock]

I'm not expecting you to say anything. I just... wanted to tell you how I feel.
