It never hurts to be polite?

[why.]

I'm sorry. I just don't want to cause anybody any offence or trouble. I made a lot of mistakes when I was alive, so I'm trying not to. ...Thank you for coming.

[Since he's rejected all her offers of help, she's not sure why else he'd be at the library.]

[goatsongs]

Everybody makes mistakes when they're alive. That's just a being-alive thing.

[Why is Retasu like this.]

...Whatever.

[aquaticrush]

[Smiles? It'd be unprofessional if she started sulking because a kid was rude, wouldn't it.]

If you need help, always make sure to ask us

[goatsongs]

You're not ever going to ask us for help. Why would we ask you?

[...for starters, you're kids...]

[aquaticrush]

I could! I mean, if aliens attack, you're the only ones who can purify the animals, right? I don't want to just shoot them...

[goatsongs]

If it comes between purifying the animal and keeping humans safe, you should prioritize human lives. I'll do what I can and all, but let's not lose sight of what's the most important here.

[aquaticrush]

Even when I tell you your job is important, you're still unhappy...

[goatsongs]

I'm a middle schooler. It's still my job to be contrary.

[aquaticrush]

I don't really think I was like that in middle school.

[goatsongs]

You were a doormat, right? It's on your Wikipedia page.

[Not in those words, but.]

[aquaticrush]

[sulk] Well, it's true that I didn't have many friends and I did a lot of people's homework for them...

[goatsongs]

Yeah, we call that 'being a doormat' these days. Maybe the words have changed since your life, I don't know.

[aquaticrush]

You don't need to be so up-front about it.

[goatsongs]

Are you actually expecting me to be something else?

[She's met him before, right?]

[aquaticrush]

I suppose that's true... I'm sorry. I'm keeping you out late, aren't you.

[goatsongs]

I wouldn't be in bed anyway, so you've got nothing to feel bad about.

[Reassurance??]

[aquaticrush]

Oh, no, are they giving you that much homework?

[goatsongs]

...Did kids not stay up later than they were supposed to when you were around?

[aquaticrush]

I suppose I was a little boring. [sigh] But it's healthy to get a good night's sleep.

[goatsongs]

Fiiine. I'll go home so you don't have a heart attack over me not sleeping enough.

[aquaticrush]

All right. Good night! I'll see you again, okay?

[goatsongs]

See you later.
