[The camera shakes a little before getting held in place: Issei is sitting on his bed, with his knees drawn to his chest and the hand not holding the camera wrapped around them.]

Well. I'm back. I'm... I'm sorry for missing school again.

If anyone was wondering.

[He hangs his head for a moment.] Are they gone now?

...They're gone.

[It's just a slight hint, but he's definitely relieved to hear Issei's back.]

[Audio]

[unknownrival]

That's good.

[Audio]

[berry_paunch]

Looks like people have forgotten, too.

[Audio]

[unknownrival]

Your friend is okay, too?

[Audio]

[berry_paunch]

Mm. She's been busy with drama club things.

[He is especially happy about this. He wasn't sure she would be brought back, being a normal person and all.]

[Audio]

[unknownrival]

I'm glad! I know you liked her, or was I mistaken?

[A little teasing. He can't help it.]

[Audio]

[berry_paunch]

Liked her...?

Hmm... She seems nice.

[...Take that as you will, Issei.]

[Audio]

[unknownrival]

I know. I've heard that the klutzy type can make good girlfriends

[Audio]

[berry_paunch]

...

Girlfriend...?

[Audio]

[unknownrival]

You did say you like her.

[Audio]

[berry_paunch]

[I hope Issei can hear question marks, because there is no verbal response to that.]

...?

[Audio]

[unknownrival]

[He chuckles at that.]

[Audio]

[berry_paunch]

Did it look like that?

[Audio]

[unknownrival]

A little.

[Audio]

[berry_paunch]

Hmmm

[...Whoops.]

[Audio]

[unknownrival]

Not much of an answer.
