“Of course you’re not a perv, I think what you’re doing is adorable!” You try to be positive and reassuring in the way she probably wants. You’re no mind reader, but you can see the signs, and you don’t want to make her feel uncomfortable.
“<span class="mu-i">H-Huh…?</span>” Ruby didn’t expect a sudden change of heart.
“Sorry, I was just teasing you.” You help Ruby to get on her feet and hug her! She reciprocates almost instantly, giggling by your ear. It’s endearing! It was a quick one, so you’re back to talking face-to-face.
“Do you really think it’s adorable? I heard otherwise.” Ruby doesn’t think it is, but kinda creepy. “I know it’s improper of me to go through your stuff without your permission. But I needed something that reminded me of you.” Is living in this apartment not enough for her?
“Meow.” Or Bradford Junior’s presence? He’s your cat! And… uh… you think Ruby has actually spent more time as his owner than you have. You’re awful.
“Of course! I wouldn’t lie to you! Maybe tease you a tiny bit.” You reassure yet again. “I know how much you despise liars.”
“And I know you well too! You must be hungry. I’ll get something ready.” Ruby runs out of the room, then peeks inside. “I really missed you…”
“Missed you too.” You smile as you drop your stuff in your room. “You can keep the shirt, you look good in it.”
“Uhm, yes, thank you.” Ruby starts buttoning it properly as she disappears deeper into the apartment. She doesn’t want to look like a random pervert, but a proper one.
“Meow.” Bradford is really glad to have you back.
You find this strangely comforting… like it’s meant to be. Maybe having a pet is really what makes a home more welcoming.
Ruby prepared you a healthy and fulfilling meal! It was good enough for your shitty palate! You’re glad you don’t have to cook again, it’s like the cake drained your entire battery. Uh, well, you did <span class="mu-i">you know what</span> too, so no wonder you’re tired. Thankfully, the food hit the right spot, andyou feel more energized!
Seems like Ruby is planning on sleeping back in her room. She’ll keep the shirt tho! She wants to keep talking to you, but you know it’s late. Tomorrow is Saturday, so you don’t expect School, so...
<span class="mu-s">What do you do?</span>
>Excuse yourself, you’re going to meet with Debbie! Of course, tell Ruby everything about it before you go.
>Make an impromptu gift for the new neighbor with Ruby! Together you’ll visit the Blueberry!
>Call the meeting off with Debbie and hit the bed. Maybe you’re a little energized, but your body will appreciate it!
>Write In.
