[ Ryoko covers her face momentarily, trying to recompose herself. It has been a wildly taxing 24 hours, and she wants to burrow away for a while.
But she can't just hide away... ]
I don't... I don't know what you two spoke about, but... I don't think Aisaka-san sees me that way. We're friends, but I don't think she's ever really... I don't think she's seen me beyond anything like that.
Even right now, I don't know if I really know what that "love" is. If it's something I felt because I missed her... or if it's because she reminds me so much of my friend from home.
I can't choose to be with her, because if I'm wrong, it'll crush her. And I can't do that to her.
[ Well. She's been at this part all day, but. It's not a bad problem to have. She steps forward to lightly kiss Fauna on the forehead, wrapping her arms around her. ]

.... right? It is, right? Suddenly, she second-guesses herself. Maybe... Did she just jump to conclusions?]
I don't know either, but...
Ugh, why is this so confusing?!
no subject
...just... all we can do is take it one step at a time. Aisaka-san doesn't want to be left out, but I know she doesn't want to get in the way either.
Don't worry. I'm here with you right now, and I know in my heart, I still want to be with you. So... don't think that I'll let you go either, okay?

Thank you... I'm sorry I pushed Taiga like this, too, and... Thank you.

I'm sure you had good intentions. It's fine.
[ A brief pause... ]
Walk with you back to the cafe, if you'd like.

If you want, we can ride on your bike there? Take a scenic route, if you want.

... It's okay. I can make it home on my own. Thanks, though.

[ She says, giving her one more hug and a light peck on the cheek. ]
Get some sleep, alright? I'll talk to you in the morning. [ Miss, Still Doesn't Realize How Nocturnal Her Girlfriend Is over here, ]

[She returns the hug and peck... she isn't sure how to do this Physical Affection thing well, but she's trying.]
I'll try. But you too, okay? You sleep, too.
