Guess the whole vanishing and reappearing act I tend to do is pretty old by now, huh? What can I say, life keeps going on back home, no matter how much I try to hide from it here. I'm not sure what to do now, though. I don't think there's any more chances for me back home. I've used all of them up, and

Hey, welcome back. It's been a really long time, so I doubt you remember me.

[regrows]

Victor, of course I remember you. You really shouldn't sell yourself short.

[notvictorious]

It was a while ago! Besides, you're pretty popular.

[regrows]

Not really. I'm just annoyingly social while I'm here, because I don't get the chance to be when I have to be back home. How have you been doing, though?

[notvictorious]

I've been okay. This place was extra annoying this month, you're lucky you missed it. Was going back home a lot of trouble for you

[regrows]

You could say that it didn't really go all that well. I'm kind of stuck here for a while, though, so you'll be sick of me in no time.

[notvictorious]

Hey, now who's selling themselves short.

[regrows]

It's okay if I do, because I am short. How's your girlfriend doing, by the way?

[notvictorious]

I had a girlfriend when you were here?

[regrows]

... what was her name? The one I was stuck to and had to kiss to get away from. I thought she was your girlfriend.

[notvictorious]

Oh uh Nico and I haven't dated for a while, not since way before we even got here.

[regrows]

Huh.

So, you're free to go out sometime, then? [This is a test. She's seeing if Victor will pass.]

[notvictorious]

what? Hey! uh well yeah, but..

[regrows]

But?

I'm just talking about hanging out, Victor, relax. It's not like I'm asking you to hold my hand or anything.

[notvictorious]

But that's what I meant-! As friends! Sorry. You kinda caught me off guard..

[regrows]

That was my plan. I like catching people off guard so I get the most honest answer possible.
