I don't see what good it'll do; if you think you can get through to him you're free to try, but I really don't think that anything anyone says will change how he sees me. I care more about clearing my name for the ones he's spoken to on his own. They'll all probably still be thoughtful enough to actually, like, hear my side of the story.

Do you think maybe I should try to talk to him again myself? I don't know how well you know him, we only had the one conversation.

[She sighs again.]

I'm hoping if I try and clear up the misunderstanding it'll be easier for him to rectify what he's been saying.

[Chuuya's just That Kind of Person.]

I totally understand. Thank you, Zoe. Let him know that I told him I'm sorry about the whole thing.

Yeah, for sure! I'll totally give you a reward for it, because it's so important to me that this nasty little argument gets resolved. I'd so owe you one. I feel like I already do but you know, the rules and all.

Don't sweat it. It's not on you if he decides not to let bygones be bygones. I'll still know that I took the high road, and I'll still be here to thank you afterward.

[Pulling her feet out of the water, Disorder tucks them underneath herself and leans back on her hands.]

So, like, anything else you wanna talk about in the meantime?

Aww, it was nice to meet you too, gorgeous!

[Disorder blows Zoe a kiss.]

Come by any time!
