No!

No, no, no— what about me, anon?

With my charisma? My charm? My handsome features?

Temper tantrum? If you didn’t—

...

Well, at least someone recognizes my true self. Thank you, Jennie.

Oh, well, if you're peeved rather than grumpy, then that settles that, I guess!

I AM cute! I’m a catboy, just look at me!

I mean, you are peeved after all....

No!

Okay, okay!

Um...

I was actually kind of excited for the date.

You know, it was early on, I was still kind of starstruck, I didn’t remember everything that happened...

I think that was the first time I saw you break out the bee dress

For what it's worth, from what I could tell he was pretty excited, too

Well, that doesn’t matter. That spark faded a long time before I started to remember.

It wasn’t the best date I’ve ever been on, to put it lightly. Kind of puts a damper on things when you’re kind of forced to pay.

And don’t get your card back for a week.

And he kind of pouts when you cut your park walk short to pet a dog.

He's always had a lot of love to give!

Besides, we were on-- strange terms, anyway.

I still can't believe he made you pay! For all his time spent in high society, you would think he'd have better manners, haha

It’s in the past now.

And you’d think so, wouldn’t you? I don’t mind paying, but if you invite the person, it’s on you to pay, go half if they insist. Only polite.

That said, he did forget his wallet...

I swear that man would lose his own head if it wasn't attached to the rest of him

He used to be a perfect gentleman! He'll have to brush up on his etiquette

Even beyond the whole... thing.

If my memories are correct, you knew a way different side to him than I did. :p He was never as-

...

I- Ada, don't be silly, I couldn't possibly-

Besides, things are-

...

Not to say you’ll fix him, but... you’re good for him. He cares about you.

He’s slowly becoming more like himself, again.

I'll think about it, at least

Okay, okay!

Maybe I should have listened to you and Mark to start.

Do you really think you should be taking life advice from the man who forced us all into a story?

A story that even didn't make us happy when it went right?

I was wrong, and I shouldn't have ever put those thoughts in your head.

How are we lucky? I didn’t help anything. We’re exactly where we were.

If I just stay a happy little idiot then--

I don’t know.

Not knowing didn't make anything better.

Nothing's going to get better if we just keep playing along. We've tried that already.

...

I'm sorry, too

If there's any one of us who's blameless, it's you

Maybe, if, in university... Or, even just before the poker night, if I just--

Maybe I could have stopped it. Maybe I couldn’t have.

I'm responsible for enabling him

Damien's responsible for leaving you behind

I won’t argue about Mark, but you were trying to make things better. You thought it would work.

Damien...

He had his reasons. I’m not mad at him.

If I was a little sharper, a little less soft, maybe I could have remembered something. Enough of something to make any difference.

I know I'm not The Smart One, but please just trust me.

Ha.

I have choices now.

I don't like how you phrased that.

I could ask Mark to reset.

I could force myself to be happy and dumb.

I don’t know if—

Ha, that’s too morbid.

Whatever you do, please don't ask Mark to reset.

Things just get worse every time, but this time-- This time he's almost him.

Please, for me? Let's work with what we have
