I have your back.

[xxgirlfriend]

I'm glad you do. I know . . . I haven't made it easy while we've been here.

[dieinafire]

Yuki, that's... I'm sorry.

[xxgirlfriend]

Don't say that. I don't think either of us needs to apologize.

[dieinafire]

No, but I ... I yelled at you and now this is happening...

[xxgirlfriend]

I'm glad you yelled at me!

[dieinafire]

... What.

[xxgirlfriend]

I really mean that. I don't want to be lied to, and I never want to lie to any of you. Maybe we won't always agree, and maybe it's going to be frustrating because we all want to protect each other so much, but that's exactly why even disagreeing is precious to me. Because I know you really care.

[dieinafire]

...

I guess that makes sense.

[xxgirlfriend]

. . . thank you.

[dieinafire]

You're welcome.

[xxgirlfriend]

It feels good to have said that . . . [hasn't noticed, but he's beginning to look a little transparent]

[dieinafire]

... We'll always be friends, Yuki. Even when we fight.

[xxgirlfriend]

It's nice to hear you say that, even though I knew it.

[dieinafire]

Well. You needed to know.

[xxgirlfriend]

[smiles down at his hands . . . then freezes, staring] Hotsuma-kun--

[dieinafire]

Yuki!

[xxgirlfriend]

Hotsuma-kun, tell Shusei-kun I'm sorry, tell him that he has to take care of you, and you take care of him. And tell him that if he doesn't eat more I-- I'll start sending packages from home!

[dieinafire]

A-Ah, sure!

[xxgirlfriend]

I'm sorry I can't do it myself . . .

[dieinafire]

We'll wait for you.

[xxgirlfriend]

I know we'll all be together again soon.

[dieinafire]

We will!

[xxgirlfriend]

I--
