Oi, oi. You need to stop sulking about and take Rumiko-chan to the festival. I know her daughter's not the happiest with your relationship, but her behavior's just going to be justified if you avoid her!

She loves you, after all.

I'm not interested in discussing this. I've already done too much to hurt her and her daughter. If I go, it'll be of my own accord.

You didn't hurt Rumiko. Not unless she's smaller than most women. You were the most lovesick person during that whole virus ordeal, but you're just about as steadfast as one can be. If she wanted it, she would've let you.

Don't you get it!? If I went to this...festival with her, it would be a slap on Ruki's face! I don't want to hurt her, not any more than I already have!

Well, if that's the case, the only way to get her to trust you is to guide her into trusting you. If she's antagonizing you because she doesn't want you to hurt her mother, you've got to prove you never will.
