“Apology accepted!” You see no reason to keep the bad blood, they barely did anything to you aside from being really obnoxious. You have thick skin after years of verbal abuse anyway. “Now, my name is Johnny, and I prefer if you call me that…”
“Right, you are not just Nariko’s servant. You’re much more than the puny position you hold!” Eloise says it out loud like it’s worth acknowledging it.
“Yes, you’re a human worthy of respect just like all of us despite whatever your miserable upbringing entailed!” Phoebe agrees wholeheartedly.
“Therefore, I must acknowledge you as such by your proper name!” Eloise nods to herself. “Johnny!”
“Johnny! To be on equal ground, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Phoebe!” Phoebe acts like you didn’t know her name.
“And I’m Eloise!” Eloise continues this confusing introduction. “It’s a privilege to make you my acquaintance as much as it is for you.”
“The honor is even greater for me, as I know every human life is equal to mine! And I’m <span class="mu-s">very</span> special.” Phoebe tries to one up Eloise for no discernable reason.
“<span class="mu-s">I</span> see even greater value in you, Johnny! Our similarities, while important, don’t tell the whole story, heh. Acknowledging our differences as virtuous as they are is the true mark of respect. For example, I don’t look past your disheveled appearance, I happen to appreciate it unironically!” Eloise tries to one up her rival.
“I’m the one who sees Johnny’s humanity more clearly! I have grown as a person the most!” Phoebe gets a little pissy.
“Heh, you wish. You can’t see beyond your prejudice. It’s quite telling.” Eloise smirks.
You see Yu Yan facepalming like a disappointed teacher…
“Agh! I look at Johnny and see nothing but the guy he is!” Phoebe concentrates and stares at you to prove her point. “<span class="mu-i">I swear… I… do…</span>”
“Hehehe, it’s so apparent how difficult for you it is when it’s quite easy! You just… <span class="mu-i">need… to… be better…</span>” The exact same thing happened to Eloise.
“<span class="mu-s">Edamura, I want to buy Yu Yan and Johnny’s contracts from you..</span>.” Phoebe has realized she wants something more in life.
“<span class="mu-s">Edamura, I’ll up her offer whatever it may be…</span>” Eloise has reached the same conclusion.
Nariko hasn’t said a word ever since the apology. She hasn’t liked the insincerity, but this might piss her off completely.
