[She'd never felt more lost than she did now. and it probably showed on her face.

It felt like she was always watching people she cared about leave without anyway to stop them. The things she'd said under the influence of the Moral Manipulation Machine weren't all her, but they had come from her all the same. She tried to tell herself it was all right, that she was fine. If that's what they want I won't stop them. There's nothing she could do.

But the truth was she hated it. She hated it with every fibre of her being because all she wanted to do was hold on and never let go. It took being put through that, having the part of her that thought it was selfish to feel that way for her to realize she wasn't as selfless or mature as she'd thought.

She wasn't sure if she was okay with that. She wasn't supposed to be selfish, after all, and even if she could be...what can she do?

Her hand dropped, though for the first time in years she didn't bother to cover the hurt or sadness she was feeling. Maybe it was the lack of sleep talking, maybe it was all the stress and loneliness that had piled up over the last week, but she couldn't seem to muster enough energy to care to do so.]

Shinsuke, I... [I don't leave want you to leave. She swallowed.] You said we'd try to have dinner together at least once a week. [She wasn't entirely sure where she was trying to say and that was worrying. She wasn't used to speaking without first thinking about what she was going to say, how she was going to say it.

Besides, that was...an old arrangement hadn't it? Something they'd decided on before she even knew she was in love with him. A promise between friends who hadn't even considered the possibility of being more yet.

Does he even remember?]

So we did.

[He willed his expression to remain cool, quiet, unreadable.]

I've been a busy lately, but it shouldn't be hard to find the time to eat out once a week.

[He could have left. He could have ignored her call and just kept walking. That he didn't gave her hope. It was just a little, and maybe it would prove to be false hope in the end, but...]

I want to see you again, Shinsuke. [She was tired of having to bump into him at random and, more than that, she was tired of things being broken.] I know you said we're not partners anymore, but you're still a friend.

[Though if he were to say "no" now, she's not sure if she'd be able to find the courage or conviction to ask this of him again.]

[He did not say anything for a while. Then he turned away.

His response was soft, so soft that it's possible that she might miss it.]

I'll consider it.

[She didn't miss it.

She let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. It wasn't a definite answer, but it was something.

It was more than she'd hoped for.]

...thank you.
