    r "I’m actually a huge coward. "
    r "I don’t like facing my problems when it’s easier to just lock myself in my room and wait for them to go away."
    r "Downside is that those problems always have a way of catching up to you in the end. But it is what it is."

    scene ringlow2

    scene ringlow1
    with dissolve

    s "So...you’re basically cheering yourself up by hearing about how other peoples’ problems are worse than yours?"
    r "Kind of, yeah. But it’s a little more than that."
    r "It’s like...validation. Or something."
    r "Like, I’m still a [teenage]girl. We’re the prime demographic for overreacting and blowing things out of proportion."
    r "So I’m kind of designed to feel like this at times."
    r "But then again, so is everybody. You know?"
    r "Why listen to happy music when it’s probably just fake? "
    r "Real life is like, 90%% bullshit and 10%% actual good stuff. You know that, don’t you?"
    s "Yeah, it makes a lot more sense when you put it that way."

    r "Those have pretty much the same effect on me as an angsty pop punk album, but with more flavor and less ex-girlfriends."
    s "I don’t fully understand, but I’ll definitely stop somewhere and get you a cheeseburger the next time I have to go into damage-control mode."

    scene ringlow1

    r "Heh...damage control is a good way of putting it."
    r "Between you and Futaba, I’ve barely had any time to feel sad at all."

    scene ringlow21

    c "In fact, you are hereby obligated to spend time with me because you’re my friend and I love you."

    scene ringlow23
    with dissolve

    r "And...if I refuse?"
    c "I know where you live."
    c "And there’s no bathroom in here so I will literally sit outside of your room until you are forced to come out."
    r "This doesn’t seem very fair..."

    scene ringlow24
    with dissolve

    c "What’s not fair is how you haven’t even been giving me the time of day lately."
    c "I didn’t want to just show up here without giving you the proper heads up, but you really didn’t leave me any choice."
    r "I was embarrassed...leave me alone."

    r "You really don’t have to do this, you know..."
    r "I can only imagine how awkward it must be."
    c "It really doesn’t bother me. I swear."
    c "And I’ll try to be more conscious of it in the future."
    c "I’m sure there were a few things I said on our vacation that were easy to misinterpret, and I’m sorry for all of them."
    c "But again, just because I can’t accept your confession doesn’t mean I don’t still want to see you all the time."
    c "So please, for the love of God, stop ignoring me."

    scene ringlow25

    c "We’ll figure this out together. Got it?"

    r "I’m sorry for running off and not giving you the chance to in the first place."
    r "It may have been your first confession, but it was my first time confessing {i}to{/i} anyone. Soooo...that was pretty nerve-wracking."
    r "But...I’ll try my best to move on for both of our sakes..."
    r "Just don’t hate me if I can’t get over you, okay? It’s been...kind of a long time, so it’s sort of ingrained into me now."
    c "Of course...take all the time you need."
    c "I might not be the best person to actually talk to {i}about{/i} that with, but you’ve got Futaba and Sensei to air out your worries to whenever you want."
    r "I do...They’ve been a big help these last few days."
    c "They’re good people. And so are you."
    c "Just try not to let this get you down. You mean a lot to me."
