You were no worse than Sae ever is.

Do NOT tell him that. He would hate it. d

She was very impressive, I'll tell you that. But I like you as you the best.

[coolcustomer]

That isn't necessarily a comforting statement, given that I know she can be quite vicious. In any case, it's over and will hopefully not happen again.

I do owe Mona-chan an apology regardless. He comes to my dorm room a lot, but I... wasn't staying there. And kind of trashed the place before I left.

I very much prefer being myself, it's true. That was

disconcerting.

[tutoroftactics]

I was hoping it would be. I'm sorry.

I'm sure his loyalty can be re-bought with some good fish.

What was it like? Do you remember it at all?

[coolcustomer]

You have nothing to apologise for. As for Mona-chan, I doubt I need to re-buy anything, but I'll figure out how to make it up to him.

I do remember it, which is somewhat surprising given that she knew nothing about this place before she was slotted into mine. It's...

She did allow Father to make a monster of her, and learned he would never love her for it.

[tutoroftactics]

I would never judge someone for their desire to be wanted and loved.
You're safe with me, Haru.

[coolcustomer]

And I do appreciate it.

It meant a lot to her that you tried, even as standoffish as she was.

[tutoroftactics]

No one deserves to be lonely.

Hot springs soon?

[Hot springs. Not pool.]

[coolcustomer]

That sounds lovely!

[tutoroftactics]

I think we can both use the break.

[coolcustomer]

We really could. Especially you, if you were stuck being the voice of reason that whole time. [It's not that Rose doesn't have a brain cell, but it is assuredly not in the Phantom Thieves' communal pool.]

Since you proposed the hot springs, I assume you mean informal?

[tutoroftactics]

So few people understand me like you do.

Yes, that was what I meant. I think that will also help.

[coolcustomer]

Well, I try to, anyway.

I agree.

Though if you bring a book this time, I may take it as a challenge to distract you from it as much as I can.

[tutoroftactics]

I'm trying not to take that as a challenge.

[coolcustomer]

Whether you do or not is up to you.

[tutoroftactics]

Either way. I'm looking forward to this.

[coolcustomer]

As am I. Let me know when you'd like to go.

[It's not as though this place really keeps to strict schedules, but still.]

[tutoroftactics]

I will. Absolutely.
