Still, I think you ended up taking the brunt of that. You and Mona-chan.
...I should probably not tell him that as far as Rose was concerned, she and her Akechi are dating, should I. (Or, well, not not dating? Between my father and his public profile they see no need to formalise anything.)
'I like girls' was a brilliant sidestep on her part.
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?

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

Date: 2025-09-08 01:00 am (UTC)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.

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

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.
