I'm sure the masked person was glad to help, even without a reward! Superheroes don't usually expect rewards, anyway. ^^

[pitfallen]

... Right. Well, how lucky for me, then.

[fistsofjustice]

Is your dog doing okay?

[pitfallen]

Oh, she's doing fine now. She's actin' kinda limp and sedated like she usually does after such trying experiences, but she's probably just homesick.

[fistsofjustice]

Aw . . .

[pitfallen]

Ah, don't worry about her. She's strong. Besides, it won't matter if I manage to get a roommate. That's usually enough to keep her distracted.

[fistsofjustice]

I hope you do!

[pitfallen]

Yeah, me too. It sucks having to pay for this stuff by yourself.

[fistsofjustice]

It's lonely too, ne?

[pitfallen]

Ah, you get used to it. But not really

[fistsofjustice]

You get used to being lonely?

[pitfallen]

... Aha, you learn to ignore things like that. It's a lot easier that way.

[fistsofjustice]

That sounds really sad, Excel-san . . .

[pitfallen]

... So, anyway, that reminds me, you've managed to find someone else to stay with now, right?

[fistsofjustice]

I did. I'm staying with Shiki-san at the Opera House right now . . .

It worked out for the best. There's . . . a lot to do here.

[pitfallen]

Ah, yeah, it's always best to keep busy. Keeps your mind focused and keeps you from getting lazy.
