[TOO UGLY TO LOVE]

That doesn't work if nobody listens.

[runstowardsfire]

You have to listen to yourself too. And believe in it.

[smilingpretty]

Oh...

[SADDEST]

[runstowardsfire]

[smilingpretty]

You really don't have to be nice to me.

[smilingpretty]

I don't know.

[runstowardsfire]

So until you can tell me why, it's going to remain a mystery why anyone would do that.

It's a moot point anyhow because I'm not a nice person most of the time.

[smilingpretty]

[smilingpretty]

Maybe those aren't really real either.

Mayumi.

[runstowardsfire]

How long have you been here, Mayumi?

[smilingpretty]

Since January.
