... Thanks. [ bitch don't know what tonkatsu is but knows how to use chopsticks. do not question this. ] Look, I... [ they huff a little ] Sorry. I don't like people. Never been good with them. It's not you.
[Sumire doesn't even see anything wrong with this picture. Wolf gets a pass. But she does pause for a second, utensils already in hand.]
... It's okay. I understand. [Wolf, your awkwardness.] Actually, I... used to be the same. Or, ah, perhaps I still am— a little? It felt so infuriating when people just wouldn't leave me be.
I met someone who wouldn't give up on me, and... realized some things about myself and my sister. [When your high school crush does more for you than your actual therapist, wow.] Thank you for agreeing to spend time with me anyway. And, um... I feel like I ought to say this, so I'm going to say it now. I don't resent you or Carré-san for doing what was necessary to save our friends.
[Wolf, please. She is probably a whole ass feet shorter than you? How tall is he, even.]
... Thank you. [Smiling! Accept her forgiveness, binch.] Um, is the seasoning okay? I don't use a lot of salt when cooking, but I can adjust it for you in the future.

I'm okay. Everyone has been very kind to me, so please don't worry about me.
[A pause, stepping closer to scrutinize them.]

no subject

no subject

Sure. Not sure I know what that is, though.

How'd you find out?
[ because he has been So Subtle ]
no subject
If she was even slightly meaner, she would point out how unsubtle he has been. But since she's not—]
I was told by Sharon-san that she's [ange] on your team, so...
no subject
Sharon's not on my team?

Okay, I get it.

It's fine. [ ... there's a pause before they add: ] Not that picky in general.
[ so like they had no idea about appropriate salt levels until she just said so ]
no subject
[Congrats, Wolf. You are now the friend who never causes issues when it's time to pick a place to eat.]
no subject
[ they are not nearly as confident about this. cynicism. ]
