....what do you need? Or would you prefer to be in person?

It doesn't have to be in person.

I just wanted to tell you that you should take care of Rin. That's all.

That's not all of it, is it?

Simon's gone.

... that's all of it.

What if I told you I'm still not entirely convinced. It's not as simple as saying he's gone.

What, do you want me to cry about it on the phone?

That's why I'm wondering if you need to see me in person.

Don't be silly.

I'll just cry alone.

That's not an outcome that I'd like.

It's not like it'll make any difference.

I'm going to pull a page from your book and say it sounds like you're crying out for a hug.

That's not what I'm doing.

I just want you to take care of Rin, okay?

I'm still going to express some doubt.

Fine.

But I just want to be alone for a couple of days, so don't come see me. It'll be a waste of your time.

Even if I leave food outside your door?

I probably wouldn't want to eat, sorry.

Two days, starting today. After the third, you'll be forcing your body to take drastic measures and I won't accept that.

Two days probably isn't enough, but I'll try.

I'll make sure it's something light and nutritious.

Just bread is fine, really. Or some biscuits.

Those are fairly heavy foods. I was thinking along the lines of chicken broth.

Too hot.

A salad it is then, since you've got the peace of mind to be a bit picky.

I don't have the appetite for it right now, but we'll see in three days.

You'll have one in three days.

[or else.]
