[And forward-dated to tomorrow morning, post-virus, all responses video.]

[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.]

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...

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

[Nods head.]

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

I hope you're right.
