Have you ever had some thought or feeling that you've kept to yourself so long, that when you finally say it...you realize it isn't quite as true as you thought? Like...it's still partially true, but not in the way you'd been thinking about it over and over in your head.

I don't know. I guess it sounds pretty strange, huh?

We've finished up the case...and Naru's finished his business. He'll be leaving soon but SPR is going to stay open. I'm...I'm really glad about that. I guess a lot has happened lately and some of the things I thought I knew...well, I was all wrong about. It's good to know something will stay the same.

I'm sorry it took so long to update you all. I just really needed time to think things over. I hope I didn't worry anyone.

....Do you think we could meet sometime soon? If you're not busy?

[She looks back ahead of them.]

Ah, there should be a fountain up ahead. And some places to sit if you want to take a break.

To be honest... [It's hard to admit, but this is Mai. He gives a short nervous laugh.]

I don't really know what to do next.

[brokethecamera]

[She lets out a heavy sigh of relief and laughs slightly.]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[shadow_spread]

[He relaxes a bit and laughs again, much less nervous this time.]

So...what should we do?

[actionspam!]

[brokethecamera]

Well...I really don't have any experience with this kind of thing, but I don't think too much should change.

And I'm fine with taking things slow. One step at a time, you know?

[shadow_spread]

[One step at a time. Yes. He's having enough trouble fully processing this step. They can think about others later.]

I think that sounds good.

[Ah, there's the fountain. It's nice, even if it's a little late in the year for it.]

[She smiles, first at the fountain, and then back at Masamori. She was too embarrassed to say it but as long as she got to keep seeing him they could move at whatever pace they needed. That was enough for her.

She blushed at the thought and tried to move to something else.]

Though...there are a few people I should probably mention this too. They'd kill me if they found out through the community first.

[Masamori blinked at the blush, but really it wasn't surprising considering the circumstances.]

Ah, that's probably smart.

[Not that he thinks he'll say anything quite yet...he needs a bit of time.]

[actionspam!]

[brokethecamera]

You don't mind?

[Because she needs to make sure!!!]

[actionspam!]

[shadow_spread]

Of course not.

[brokethecamera]

Oh, good. [She smiles and wrings her hands. What to do. What to do.]
