Issei-san...?

[voice]

[stripping]

[Quietly.] Complaining again, don't mind me.

[voice]

[100thbrokendish]

No, please don't worry, Issei-san! You're not troubling anybody at all, really. I'm just worried about you.

[voice]

[stripping]

Things will be fine. I was fine when Haruto left the community, wasn't I? This is hardly any different.

[voice]

[100thbrokendish]

But...

[voice]

[stripping]

But?

[voice]

[100thbrokendish]

Please don't think that I'm not confident in you or anything like that, because I already know you're a much stronger person than I am to begin with, but I'm still worried about you, Issei-san!

[voice]

[stripping]

Hm. I suppose I would be worried about myself, in this situation.

[voice]

[100thbrokendish]

Please feel better soon, Issei-san. I don't want you to think that there's anything wrong with letting other people know you're unhappy, but, um, I also hope you feel better.

[voice]

[stripping]

I understand the sentiment. Thanks.

[voice]

[100thbrokendish]

Um... y-you're welcome, I think.

[stripping]

...May I ask a personal question? I can lock it.

[voice|lock]

[100thbrokendish]

U-um, alright.

[voice|lock]

[stripping]

Have you ever been romantically involved?

[voice|lock]

[100thbrokendish]

Me? N-no... I'd be too nervous to ask if I liked anybody. I'm sorry.

[voice|lock]

[stripping]

I can understand that; is it lonely?
