I have a social etiquette (home modeling?) question. Let's say you don't own 10+ vases that remotely go together. Is it all right to display all your red and yellow roses in mismatched vases? Big ones, small ones, etc.?

I really didn't think this through when I ordered a hundred flowers.

...Actually I'd just like to check up on all of my friends after that virus, to see how everyone is doing.

Is he away because he's upset with you, or because he's upset with himself?

[unknownrival]

It's probably a mixture of both...

[aquaticrush]

I wish the solution were clearer. Have you tried looking for him?

[unknownrival]

He doesn't want to be found.

[aquaticrush]

I see... so you're just giving him space?

[unknownrival]

That's it.

[aquaticrush]

It's been so long, though. There must be some solution that doesn't involve anything too drastic. I mean, I know it's none of my business and I'm pushing in, so maybe I should be quiet.

[unknownrival]

You're concerned as his friend as well.

[aquaticrush]

You're right. I'm really worried about him. He told me that he wanted to be my friend, even if I really don't deserve it, but... aren't I still pushing my limits?

[unknownrival]

To want him to come back to the people who care about him rather than stay alone? I don't think so.

[aquaticrush]

Thank you. I trust you.

[unknownrival]

I'm glad you do.

[aquaticrush]

I still don't know what I can do to help you, but I'll do my best!

[unknownrival]

I owe you a lot.

strikes not there

[aquaticrush]

You don't, really. What have I even done for you that I didn't horribly mess up and ruin your life?

[unknownrival]

In the past few months or in all the time we've been close?

[aquaticrush]

*Wording, Issei. There's a delay while she flails.*

But seriously, I haven't done anything for you to owe me for!

[unknownrival]

That isn't true.

[aquaticrush]

Really?

[unknownrival]

Really.

[aquaticrush]

Even if I don't understand it, thank you.

[unknownrival]

You're welcome, Retasu.

[aquaticrush]

You can call me for anything. --um, that's not an attempt to steal you.

[unknownrival]

I know it's not. You'd never make a move while he was away.

[aquaticrush]

After the virus, I thought it needed clarification.
