I would also like to apologize. If

...Kind of.

[Ignoring the whole letting him know bit, yes. No need to tell him that Clovis already has.]

...Shizuo, you can come stay in my apartment if you want. I don't think those are exactly livable conditions.

[She worries about him, times like these.]

[shadowride]

N-nobody! It's fine, Shizuo, really! It doesn't bother me at all!

[Celty's a horrible liar, as always.]

...If you're sure. I mean it, though. The offer stays open, and there's someone I'd like you to meet.

Well it isn't as if everyone likes me for being me either.

[Filtered]

[Filtered]

I think she'll like you.

[shadowride]

It's not worth getting angry over.

[And making him curious was the point!]

[shadowride]

Ah, yeah. I'm in my room. You remember which that is, right?
