[Voice]

I...

[There's a long pause, so quiet that soft breathing can be heard, along with a rumor of waves in the background.]

...I don't even have words.

Was I really like that once? That... insufferable?

[A little laugh, obviously bitter, but faking it well.] You don't have to answer that for me. But it means I'm a better person now, right

[It's good to see you back to normal, Umi.]

[soulofocean]

Mokona...

Um. At least that wasn't anything you weren't used to, the stuff I said.

[godisacreampuff]

[No, I'm quite used to that sort of thing now, thanks to the city.]

[soulofocean]

STILL. I hadn't called you a fluffy marshmallow ball with ears since... er. Back then.

[godisacreampuff]

[Well, this is true, I suppose. But it brought back memories~]

[soulofocean]

...At least I didn't get physically abusive with you this once.

[godisacreampuff]

[I think we both know it wouldn't have done too much, so you don't have to worry.]

[soulofocean]

Hm. I DID give you a hard time back then, huh. At least I cut you some slack the second time.

[godisacreampuff]

[I think the distance helped with that.]

[soulofocean]

Some weren't as lucky...

[godisacreampuff]

[...What do you mean?]

[soulofocean]

Only that some of my friends got to rescue me from that monster that was after me and had to deal with the disaster live.

[godisacreampuff]

[...Aha.]

[soulofocean]

...Right. I think there's no better way to put it.

[godisacreampuff]

[Probably not. But what's done is done, so I wouldn't worry about it.]

[soulofocean]

I'll try not to. It actually taught me not to be so hard on myself about some things...
