Does anyone have any information on what's going on at the docks? I'm kind of curious but trying to find out for myself when I haven't even been allowed outside the past few weeks doesn't seem like a good idea.

I recognize a couple of voices from before. If... there's any new people, uh, my name's Ritsuka. Nice to meet you I guess...I wonder if

You ought not to trouble yourself too much with the outside.

... But I suppose there can't be much harm in a walk. It'll help strengthen you, so long as you don't push yourself too far.

I'd best accompany you.

[omoidezukuri]

You don't have to.

[redeify]

I suppose you have spent an awful lot of time with me, recently.

I wouldn't fault you for growing... [HEAVY SIGH.] bored of me.

[omoidezukuri]

I'm not bored of you! I just didn't--

[redeify]

Then you'll allow me the pleasure of your company?

[omoidezukuri]

... yeah.

[redeify]

Good!

Wear a coat. The weather's turning cold.

[omoidezukuri]

I'm fine like this.

[redeify]

You won't be fine when your nose swells up and runs.

Take a coat, just to be safe. If you don't need it, I'll carry it.

[omoidezukuri]

I can carry it. It just seems like a hassle.

[redeify]

I understand. Even after all this time, you don't feel ready to trust me with anything.

[SIIIIGH.]

[omoidezukuri]

What? No! That isn't what I meant at all!

[redeify]

It's settled, then.

I'll carry the coat if you don't wear it.

[omoidezukuri]

Do what you like.

[redeify]

Thank you.

... Until you're fully recovered, I want to keep you as safe as I can. I hope you'll forgive me for being overbearing.

But if you do need some time alone or would like to visit some friends, let me know. I'll keep my distance.
