... Looks like he really is gone. Luck just doesn't seem to want to turn in my favor for long, huh?

You're... missing someone too?

[hunny_bud]

... Yeah. He just kinda up and disappeared on me. Not the first time it's happened, either. He came back, last time.

[perfectibility]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

[hunny_bud]

No, nooo!~ I'm fine, hunny! How about you, hm? Did you lose someone important to you?

[perfectibility]

Ah, yes. I have.

[hunny_bud]

A sad look like that doesn't fit a gorgeous girl like you! You need to smile brightly. Like this, see?~

[perfectibility]

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

[hunny_bud]

Why not? It's real easy. All you have to do is curve your lips and... voila! You're smiling!~

[he's crying on the inside, really. ^^']

[perfectibility]

How.. can you do that when you feel torn on the inside?

[hunny_bud]

Just because you're torn in the inside doesn't mean you have to be torn on the outside. If you are, people will worry about you and you're just being a bother to them.

[perfectibility]

A bother...

[hunny_bud]

I'm not saying you're a bother, hunny! I'm just saying that you're better off looking happy, so others won't worry.~

[perfectibility]

How can I do that when he's gone?! I can't... just smile... I can't...
