Um... I'm not available right now, so leave a message, I guess! I'll get back to you when I have a chance.

I really do! [ He nodded to reaffirm his point. ]

How did you know what I like?

[dreiwuensche]

I was sort of guessing.

[yokubo]

You're super good at guessing then! I kind of feel like I should have gotten you things too...

[dreiwuensche]

It's okay. I picked some things out for myself too. [ She gestures to the shirt she's wearing. ]

[yokubo]

Ah, that's cute Hina-chan! Did you get thinks for Ankh too?

[dreiwuensche]

Yeah! He liked them.

[yokubo]

That's great! I'm happy for both of you. Ankh still doesn't get along too well with me, but it's okay if things are working between you guys.

[dreiwuensche]

He's kind of... prickly. I'm sure it's nothing personal.

[yokubo]

I thought that at first, but I'm honestly starting to think that he just doesn't like me. Which... I mean, I guess that's okay. It's just not what I hoped for.

[dreiwuensche]

I guess you can't be friends with everyone... [ The old Shingo would have loved Eiji, she refrains from saying. It's so strange how much he's changed. ]

[yokubo]

I'm not going to give up yet. Even if he doesn't like me, I still think of him as a friend. Besides, he's important to you. I'll do whatever it takes to protect your happiness!

[dreiwuensche]

Wow, Eiji-san. [ She grins. ] You are way too nice to be in a place like this. Thanks.

[yokubo]

It's not that big of a deal! [ He waved his hands dismissively, almost as if he was just a bit embarrassed. ] Everyone protects their friends, right?

[dreiwuensche]

I guess so. [ Nods! That means she needs to try hard to protect Eiji and Ankh. ]

[yokubo]

What kind of people were you friends with before? I mean, before here. You probably have a lot of people who miss you.

[dreiwuensche]

A lot of my friends were classmates from school. [ She looks wistful. ] I told them I'd call and write, but I haven't had the chance yet. It's just been so hectic since I got here.

[yokubo]

I'm sure they understand. It just means they'll be even happier when they do finally hear from you!

[dreiwuensche]

Good point. I hope they aren't too worried, though.

[yokubo]

Anyone who's friends with you has to know how strong you are. They should know you're smart enough to take care of yourself.

[ He smiled to assure her, even though he wouldn't admit that he actually worried about her constantly. ]

[dreiwuensche]

[ Hina smiles sheepishly. ]

I guess.

[yokubo]

There's no guessing about it. It's definitely true!
