[cognitivism]

I'm not surprised if I am honest, considering his past dealings.

I never intended to meet him in person. My mistake was speaking to him on the network without realising exactly who it was. I'm not looking to seek him out intentionally all things considered.

[lempereur]

Then I hope I don't have to advise you not to seek him out again.

[cognitivism]

My intent is not to seek him out. I am not an idiot, Kitagawa.

[lempereur]

I did not say you are. I am concerned for the same reason you were.

[cognitivism]

I apologize. I'm not used to anyone being concerned for me, in any regard.

I will not hide my actions. Our goals are aligned.

[lempereur]

Akira sure seems to be.

I am glad. I hope we can work well together again.

[cognitivism]

That has always been who Akira is, however. I'm still not used to it.

I look forward to working with you. If you need any assistance with record keeping with these names please don't hesitate to ask.

[lempereur]

It has.

[ A few minutes pass, and then... ]

I will not pretend to know more about your relationship than I do.

But take care of him.

I think he feels more than what he says.

[cognitivism]

I am not going to hurt him.

He deserves someone better, however.

[lempereur]

That is for him to decide.

[cognitivism]

Of course it is. That doesn't mean I can't feel like I will never be good enough for him. Not because I fear he has high standards, but for what I've done to him personally.

[lempereur]

He wants to give you a chance, and if I cannot dissuade him, you certainly won't.

I accept it, now, whatever it is. I just ask that you do your best.
