[i'm so sorry...]

the cat's fur was bristled, still alarmed at tadaki. tadaki sighed and dropped the fake smile. "yeah, told you they hate me."

[shybiscuit]

"W-Well.." She tried to think of something to say that would lift his spirits. "At least n-not everything hates you! In fact, I-I bet you're loved by someone!"

[i'm so sorry...]

"huh." tadaki didn't seem the least bit interested to try to get liked by someone.

[shybiscuit]

"Y-You should be honored that somebody m-might like you!" She looked down at her feet where the cat was. "I-I know I would." Saumya crouched down and stroked the cat, calming it.

[i'm so sorry...]

tadaki stared at saumya in disbelief. "did you actually?"

[shybiscuit]

"Did I actually what?" She looked up from the cat, then rethought what she said. "Ah! I-If you th-thought I meant that I-I liked you, I-I meant that I'd like it i-if someone fancied m-me!"

[i'm so sorry...]

"oh.." tadaki actually felt disappointed. "okay."

[shybiscuit]

Her face cooled down a bit. "C-Can w-we get off the topic of love?" She stood up and stretched out her legs.

[i'm so sorry...]

tadaki nodded. "yeah. must be really uncomfortable, isn't it?"

[shybiscuit]

"Mhm. It's also k-kind of sad to think about.." She sighed. "L-Like, I could die alone!" Saumya then jumped and shook her head. "S-Sorry! That was u-unnecessary and depressing!"
