"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

How do you accidentally--

[willbreak]

... Does asking someone to share your «Life» sound like proposing?

[bloodandblunder]

A... a little, yes.

[willbreak]

Um... I did that.

We established that it was a misunderstanding, though...!

[bloodandblunder]

... A-at least there's that... I guess if someone didn't know what you were talking about, it could cause a lot of trouble.

[willbreak]

... You'd know, right? That me saying something like that doesn't mean I'm proposing or, um, trying to «woo» you...

[bloodandblunder]

Of course I know that! But that was because you already did that to me... that transfer, right? If I hadn't known, I might...

[ get very confused and very flustered and things would just go downhill from there. ]

[willbreak]

[ MIGHT WHAT.

At any rate: ]

I-I'm sorry!

[bloodandblunder]

W-wait, why are you apologizing to me?? I'm assuming you apologized to whoever you accidentally proposed to, so--

[willbreak]

You said you might— um, nevermind!

I, I did apologize to them, yeah.

[bloodandblunder]

Then I think it's all right...? Unless you accidentally proposed to anybody else...

[willbreak]

... [ NO FAITH AT ALL. ]

No, it was just one person.

— A-anyway, your turn.

[bloodandblunder]

... What was I explaining, again?

[ can she postpone it for as long as possible-- ]

[willbreak]

[ no seriously

this icon says it all ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ EUGEO CAN YOU TELL SHE REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO

Hnnnnnngh. ]

That's...

[willbreak]

[ EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE. Even though he didn't say his part outright. ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ wow you cheater OKAY how to word this as carefully as possible. ]

There's... someone very important to me, and I vowed to support him no matter what. That I wouldn't be selfish...

[willbreak]

[ ... oh. OH. ]

So me asking you about marriage reminded you of him?

[bloodandblunder]

Yes. I got a little despondent, but like I said, it's not important at all.

[ yes good safe. ]

[willbreak]

[ well it's clearly important to her, he's not thick!! um, not thick unless it involves romance. ]

It's natural that you'd miss him...

[ hahaha whoops he thinks the «mysterious guy» is from her world. ]

[bloodandblunder]

I did, but-- [ ugh this is dangerous abort abort how to make him stop talking about this-- ] But it wouldn't-- I mean it's impossible, so that's... fine. Really.

[willbreak]

[ nuh uh. ]

You'll see him again. Definitely.

[bloodandblunder]

R-right...

[ why does she feel so miserable why is this even happening Eugeo please!! ]

[willbreak]

[ ... He'll reach out to hug her. ]

Nobody is unreachable, okay? Especially an important friend like that.

[bloodandblunder]

[ and she'll shamefully linger in it, sighing into his shoulder. ]

Maybe not, but there are some things that won't ever happen. I know that.
