"Hello, there! This is Flora. I'm not here right now, but if you would like to leave a message, I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Until then, thanks for your call, and have a wonderful day!"
[Kido blinks rapidly, trying to get rid of the tears, but they keep falling anyway; now, though, from a mixture of hurt and something much warmer.]
I know... I know he'd never mean it. [Flora says it isn't her fault but this is the part that hurts the most. If something is affecting him, it isn't his fault. If she hurt him or pushed him into it, it isn't his fault either. This feeling that won't let go of those words is at fault.
And that feeling comes from her. She has to bury it or push it away or do anything she can to be ready to fix things when she sees him again.]
I just... I, uhm... [She glances down, fidgeting with her jeans.] ...I love him and I don't want him to hate me ever. So... we have to fix this. Whatever's wrong, we have to fix it.
IT'S PERFECTLY FINE AHHH FLORAAAAAAAA
