The door opened slowly and Luigi came in, seeing Olimar standing and waiting for him, which seemed almost more frightening than if he had been sitting. He shut the door behind him and walked up, trying to smile in a friendly way but he was sure his nervousness shown through despite it. "Hiya, Professor," he tried to greet normally, "What did you-a need to talk to be about?"

Olimar frowned sympathetically, trying his hardest not to come off as harsh or intimidating. "I'm so sorry to bring you in here. Mark my words I just want to talk to you for a little while." He said in the kindest, most sincere way he could.

"I want you to answer this honestly; have things been alright?" Logically in Olimar's mind the only explanation for Luigi's sudden outburst was that something was wrong. "What you said to Yoshi earlier and how you were acting was rather concerning...I'm sure you didn't mean it, we say things we regret when we're stress out sometimes...I remember you mentioned sometime ago you were having some problems. You don't have to tell me, I just wanted to understand why you were acting out before class.

Olimar's demeanor calmed Luigi's nerves for the most part, and he relaxed--until he started talking about Yoshi.

His brows furrowed and he tried to think back on the last thing he had said to the little dinosaur, but what he recalled didn't seem like anything to cause concern. But . . . at the same time he vaguely recalled something involving Yoshi before then. . . .

"I . . ." he smiled, but again it was forced, "I've-a been really good lately. Honestly, never been happier," he hoped he wasn't blushing as he thought of Peasley. "But . . ." His voice died. "B-Before I-a say more, c-can you tell me what I-a said to Yoshi?" he asked with earnest, truly not recalling anything that would cause troubles, but at the same time knowing something HAD happened, "Was I . . . mean?"

"I would usually agree with you Luigi, you're one of my best students." He rained an eyebrow puzzled by Luigi's obliviousness, " Well it could have been considered harsh I suppose. I mean...it's just so unlike you. You were unusually aggressive when Yoshi lost his Pikmin Raphael..." Still Olimar continued to keep a soft tone, more so worried then even one bit angry.

The fact Olimar was more concerned than angry helped Luigi to remain calm, but as he explained what had happened, Luigi's heart began to beat in growing panic. "This . . . isn't the-a first time I've been told I've been a jerk lately," he mused mostly to himself, lowering his head as he tried to concentrate, tried to remember these instances, what he had said and done.

He kept drawing up a blank, but not like a normal "I can't remember how to do this math problem" blank, not like when he would start day dreaming and forget to pay attention in class . . .

Suddenly, he lifted his head and said in a louder tone, almost panicked, "I-a don't remember, Professor!" He clasped his hands together, worrying his hands together, "Did I-a really say these things, to Yoshi, to Daisy, to others? . . ."

"It's alright Luigi! We can figure this out." Olimar said assuringly trying to calm him down. "I haven't been there but if this has been reoccurring...This may be something I can't deal with." For a second he was considering having him go visit one of the school therapists but even thinking that rotted his mind with guilt of sending him away, "Actually...no I'm sure I can help you...I think. I don't know what I can do help but it wouldn't feel right to recommend you to Mr. Mask or Mr. Weavile." For a second Olimar leaned in and uttered lowering his voice, "If you ask me they are rather unnerving...well mostly Mr. Mask. He's...something else I'll say."
