[The video clicks on to show a rabbit apparently sitting at Issei's desk, ears drooped. Most rabbits aren't that shade of blue, however, and certainly none in Issei's world are. It lets out a soft little whimper.]

I can't even apologize to Haruto like this...

[Oh, hey, subtitles. That's helpful, especially considering that rabbits don't say much. Wasn't there someone else turned into an animal lately who received subtitles? Wonder if the causes could be related.]

...it's better than being a frog, I'm sure. At least you don't have to worry about dying if your skin dries out.

Well, carrots and lettuce are quite good, and they can be consumed by rabbits. Didn't you say you had a garden? Do you grow vegetables?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's something.

We have a few vegetables in addition to the flowers, but I can't really wash them, and while this could be a fascinating exercise in how rabbit germs affect humans, I'd rather just eat what I'm brought.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

I understand.

Um... if it means anything to you, Issei-san, I'm sorry that this had to happen to you. I think... Akako-san's anger was at least partly justified toward me, but you were under the effects of a virus, so... you really aren't to blame for your actions.

[Issei sighs quietly, ears drooping down again.]

Koizumi will probably forgive me in due time, so it isn't her that I'm worrying about having hurt. But thank you for the reassurance.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Um... yes.

[Looking rather dismayed.] I just wish there was... something more I could do. Because... you're my friend...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's really all right. The concern is enough.

[Nods head.]

Chin up, Issei-san. Things will get better. "Time heals all wounds."

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I hope you're right.
