(Ugh~~~......)
(This is a real pain in the ass......)
(It's annoying how Keith and the little guy keep making fun of me, and it's weird how seriously Dino's taking this......)
(I left the room since I don't want to deal with that, but I can tell from a mile away it'll be even more of a pain if I head out to a club or something)
(Ugh, wish I could get back to normal already—)
Faith?
!?
Ah, my apologies. I didn't mean to startle you......
I was passing by and thought this might be you......
...... No need to be sorry
That mask...... I take it then you haven't recovered yet
? Did someone tell you about me?
Ah......Yes, at least an overview...... Are you doing all right?
This doesn't affect my health in any way. I'm fine
Honestly, the worst part of this is how annoying everyone else is being about it. That alone makes me wish I could get better already......
There's no need for you to worry about me. It's not worth losing sleep over
T-That may be true...... However......
(......I came all the way down here for some cocoa and it's already getting cold)
(I can't drink without taking off my mask...... And I can't take it off while Oscar's still around......)
While we're talking, Faith— It's almost your...... Ah, I mean, it's nearly Valentine's Day, is it not?
Huh? Ah...... I guess so?
So...... do you have any plans for Valentine's Day?
(And now he's bringing up a new topic......)
(Valentine's plans...... I could mention the LOM, but I'll cut it short here)
(Sorry, Oscar, but this is a good time for me to duck out)
Not in particular
Aha, sorry. Nothing interesting for me to say. But—
Is that so!
Hm?
I'd expected that numerous women would have long since invited you to party......
But I see that's not the case. If you don't have any plans right now......
(W-What's going on? Why does he look so happy about it......)
(I guess I should've expected this...... Oscar's not the type to pick up on subtext)
(Screw this, it's fine if I stop responding. I'll just drink my cocoa......)
Excuse me, Faith. If you don't mind, could you possibly leave the 14th free?
......?
It may be Valentine's Day, but it's also your birthday. I would very much like the chance to celebrate it with you
Along with...... your esteemed brother!
HUH!!!??
Why...... Why would I do that......
Oscar, what are you doing here—
Not Brad...... Hic! I love you!
......!
Ah......
S-Sir......
Ah...... Uh...... agh......
............
I-I didn't say anything. I don't...... Hic! I do love you!
Gh......—!!!??
Faith......
............
(Oh shit......)
(This is the absolute worst possible thing that could've happened......!)
(Why'd he show up now of all times......!? And why— why won't my hands stop shaking?)
......Faith. I'm already aware of your current predicament
Dr. Nova and his research team are working to solve your problem around the clock
I suggest you heed their advice properly and stay in until you've recovered
Gh......
(Why's he this unbothered......)
(Ugh, shit. This is the worst!!!!!!)
Faith......!
