Since Ruby wants to keep you company, you think it’s a good idea to invite her over to help with Debbie! Or just be around! If she’s tired, you don’t want her to do anything strenuous. With the idea dropped, Ruby is elated to welcome a new neighbor to the apartment complex! The redhead reads your mind and proposes to bring a gift. You think this meal she prepared might work, but maybe you need to push things further and get something else too.
You take a moment to think. What does a Blueberry like? Oh! You think you got it! There’s <span class="mu-i">something</span> in your room you can give, you look for it. In the meantime, Ruby changed to a less risque outfit to your dismay. She’ll never not be cute, but how many times will you have the chance to see her wearing your clothes? Not many. Well, it’s not like your school uniform is the most exciting of outfits.
You, Ruby, and Bradford Jr. go to Debbie’s apartment. As the forever leading man, you knock on the door. Ah, you remember that one time when you met Ajna and inexplicably tried to kill her with Philonune. Those were the days. You’re feeling too nostalgic about moments from not too long ago! Is that what being an adult is all about?
Point is, you’re not planning on murder today.
Or any day.
That came off a little creepy.
Good thing these are your thoughts and nobody else can hear them.
How many times have you ever thought that at this point?
Philonune chuckles. You don’t like this.
Anyway, the door opens…!
“Mr. Ando, I’m glad you’re here! I was waiting for you and your adorable pet!” Debbie opens the door without thinking much about it. Then realizes Ruby is standing next to you. “<span class="mu-i">O-Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to call you a pet, miss not-a-pet…</span>” Immediately awkward. She could’ve played dumb. “I-Is this your cute roommate you talked about, ribbit…?”
“Yeah, this is Ruby!” You present her with a smile and ignore the awkwardness.
“I’m thrilled to make your acquaintance, dear neighbor. Here’s a present!” Ruby hands over the plastic container with the food. She’s a good girl, so she ignored the comments too. “It’s homemade!”
“Thank you, how very thoughtful of you!” Debbie grabs it with a smile.
“Meow.” Bradford Jr. makes his presence known.
“Oh, there you are, mister! You made me pass a tricky time just now.” Ambition-P wants to blame your fluffy buddy for her troubles as she pets him under the chin… or chins? Can cats have double chins? You’ll blame the collar either way… “Please, come in! I’m still unpacking!”
“We’re here to help!” You strut inside for no good reason. Your company follows.
“Johnny, excuse me…” Ruby tries to be a little secretive. “Have I seen Deborah before?”
Oh yeah, you forgot to mention everything about Debbie being an idol to your cute roommate. How awkward! Whatever Debbie has, seems to be contagious.
