Measure 36.

[machi_tobaye]

Dear Mr. Santa, for Christmas I would like:

-A handsome boy for me only
-A bottle of cologne - Allure by Chanel is good.
-A bottle of Belvedere vodka

I have been pretty good since coming to the City. Though I do some pretty bad thing this year, I try my best to behave well and have not told many lies since I come here

HE'S READING THIS

[objectedly]

Bad things, Machi?

OOPS

[machi_tobaye]

I am arrested. Someone die because of me. Bad things.

YOUR BAD HAS BEEN SPOTTED, KID.

[objectedly]

Is that really all? I'd expect you to have reasonable explanations for certain things, you know.

[ WHY YES, HE DID KEEP AN EYE ON THE ALCOHOL CABINET but he's deliberately keeping that statement vague to see if Machi reveals it himself. ]

HE'S NOT A VERY GOOD LIAR BUT HE TRIES REALLY HARD

[machi_tobaye]

Certain things? What are you meaning?

HE'S SORRY MACHI HIS PROFESSION MAKES HIM OUT LIARS

[objectedly]

I wish I could say I didn't mean anything with what I am saying, Machi. But sometimes... seeking the truth requires us to ask what others may not want to hear.

You know your truth. I only hope you understand the repercussions of it.

HE READS HIM LIKE A BOOK D:

[machi_tobaye]

I not hurting anyone.

EXPERIENCE DOES THAT. :D

[objectedly]

But you are. Being careless will risk in having you hurt yourself. ( And I do not think I could take that. )

You told me once that you're mature enough to make your own decisions. Please don't let me doubt that, Machi.

[machi_tobaye]

I... sorry.

[objectedly]

Hush. It's not me to who you must apologize. Clear your conscience, Machi. You shan't regret it, I assure you.

...it's been a while since we have had tea together, hasn't it?

[machi_tobaye]

I can't. I am a liar. I should just accept this about me.

Yes. Since before we get sick, I think. I have not been feeling well since then, so I not leave apartment much.

[objectedly]

So am I. Or rather, I am trying to not be anymore. There's no harm in trying, is there?

Mm. My apologies for not having checked up on you as much as I should have, Machi. I wasn't exactly in the best of health myself.

[machi_tobaye]

Is okay. Really, I looking after myself just fine. There aren't problems.

More important if Mr. Edgeworth gets better, he is asset to the City.
