Chapter 2.31: August 11, 2017
"Do you like him in the same way?"
"I honestly don't know. It doesn't matter anyway. How do you expect me to get into a relationship when you're gone?"
"Eru, please. Please move on. You know I'm not coming back. If you really like this Markus something or other, don't let me keep you from something —or, someone in this case—that could be great in your life."
"I can't string him along when I don't even know what I'm feeling."
"In a way, you already are."
"I know! That's the worst part."
"But he said he was okay with it, didn't he?"
"I'm not okay with it! Why doesn't anyone consider the fact that I might not be okay with it?"
"…I'm sorry, Eru."
"No, don't be. It's just that…I can't do this anymore. Kenny, can I follow you to wherever you are?"
"No. Never, Eru. You wouldn't like it over here, anyway."
"…All right. I just really need you right now, and you're getting harder to get a hold of."
"Far from it, my princess. I'd say you're doing quite well on your own. You haven't needed me for quite some time now—"
"That's rich, and you know it. Kenny, I'm literally dying without you."
"Eru, you know how I hate using literally—"
"In a figurative sense, I know."
"In any case, you're fine. You're okay, Eru. Now, get to bed, will you?"
"Yeah, yeah. Love you, Kenny."
"I love you, Eru."
