Ah... Here you are.

What's up, Lin? Come to invite me to dinner?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Well, that too, but first there is something I wish to say.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I believe I previously implied that it's OK to live out your days by running away from what troubles you.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

And I think that I was unkind to you.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

What are you talking about?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

To be honest, while I try to be easygoing, I currently feel a bit uneasy about something.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

One of the effects of running away constantly is that eventually one runs out of places to, well, run.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Because I avoid memories I find unpleasant, the number of things I avoid is forever increasing.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I've never learned to deal with the pain of my past, so I can never increase my tolerance toward new pains.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

And?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

That's all. But there are some nights where it really worries me.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

That's what you wanted to say?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

It'd be the same if you weren't avoiding things. You'd just be up at night wondering what was coming next.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Thank you, Lin. I appreciate you showing me a glimpse of your real self for the first time.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

For the first time? Each time I speak, I show my real self.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

So, what about that conversation we had?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Which conversation?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

When you said I was a great woman. Was that true?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Of course. You have too low an opinion of yourself.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I thought you were just trying to make me feel better.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I didn't really think you looked at me that way, Lin.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Why? Is it so strange? You seemed rather happy about it at the time.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Haha, it's not weird... OK, it's kind of weird. Haha... You're weird, Lin.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

You know, I'm hungry all of the sudden. Maybe I laughed too much.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Good. I was going to invite you to dinner.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

You were?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

When I walked in, you asked if I'd come to invite you to dinner. I said yes.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

But I can't be bothered to walk into town. Shall we visit the dining hall?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

What?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Oh, fine. Show me this easygoing way of yours.
