[becomemod]

That's such a shame!! I bet you're better at it than you think!

[ballies]

[becomemod]

Oh? Is that a friend of yours? Maybe they could give you lessons!

[ballies]

nnnnnnoooo... she can dance all she wants to, i'm happy to leave it to her.

she's a co-worker, but i guess she's a friend too...? or something like my big sister?

[becomemod]

You know, you never struck me as the kind of person to get embarrassed about something like that. You're so confident most of the time! It's kind of cute, though.

You must miss her, huh?

[ballies]

everyone has something they're self-conscious of.

... i guess so, yeah. i haven't been in contact with her much because ryuki was out of the field for so long.

[becomemod]

It's okay, I bet you'd do fine! I wasn't really going to ask you to do that, anyway.

Oh. Did something happen back home?

[ballies]

thank yoooouuu…. [ hhrrrggffffffff. ]

… mm. something happened a few years ago. he’s had a lot to deal with.

[becomemod]

No prob~!

Sorry to hear that, though. Is he doing better now?
...Are you?

[ballies]

[ … ]

i’m not talking about it, fox. sorry.
but don’t worry about me, i’m always fine.

[becomemod]

You don't have to! I wasn't trying to pry, I promise.

[ there's a slight pause as the typing bubble starts and disappears. ]

As long as you're okay, that's what matters.

[ballies]

oh I'm always okay. don't worry about me.

[becomemod]

Someone's got to!
...Someone besides Emmy!

[ballies]

i have people worrying about me, and checking up on me!
don’t worry i know my limits.

[ she absolutely does not. ]

[becomemod]

I feel like it's always the people who say that who go past their limits... You really do fit in with Emmy, don't you?
