[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

[A little gasp, then silence for a while.]

Aya...

voice

[soulofocean]

Um. I guess!

But I was quite the massive headache anyway, wasn't I? The way I treated you, jeez...

voice

[redabyssinian]

I was fine then.

[godisacreampuff]

[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.

Voice;

[soulofocean]

Clare, I'm so sorry. You even took the trouble to...

Tch. And I acted like a dumbhead.

Voice;

[soulofocean]

Only I did. I let this curse turn me into a burden for you, even if it was against my will!

I could've taken that freak down myself, instead of making you take that risk for an ungrateful little brat.

[soulofocean]

No one's gladder than me, trust me.

Though I have to disagree: A LOT OF HARM was done.

[soulofocean]
