You seem to be busy lately, Touko-san. |
Yes. |
The deadline for my paper is coming up, and although I’ve been waiting for a long time for someone to relieve me with some of my work, it hasn’t happened. |
That means more work for me. |
Sure, it’s a little hard. |
Is it tiresome? |
I’m okay, Lain. You don’t have to worry about it. |
I’m worried about you, Touko-san. |
About me? Well thank you. I appreciate your feelings. |
Will you continue to like me, Touko-san? |
Of course! You’re my little sister, remember? I don’t have any reasons not to like you. |
But I made you mad. |
That’s true. |
But that was just because you’re growing intellectually, we were having a discussion and we had a difference of opinion. |
But let’s leave that alone. |
There’s no reason for me to dislike you because we had a difference of opinion. |
Do you have important people in your life aside from me? |
Sure. |
I have friends, too. |
You have people in your life that are important to you aside from me, don’t you? |
I do. But if I had to choose one person, I would choose you. |
That makes me happy. Then, I’ll pick you, too. |
Really? But is that okay? What about the other important people in your life? |
If you chose me and I didn’t choose you, won’t you feel sad? I don’t want you to feel sad. |
Won’t your lover be sad? |
Huh? Um, well, yes. Are you interested in my private life, Lain? |
I want to know about you. |
Things having to do about my lover are a secret. You’re a bit young for that kind of thing, anyway. |
Too young? |
You may eventually have a love life of your own. But love is a pretty complicated thing. |
Complicated? |
Yes. |
I have by doubts and worries about it, too. |
I’m human. |
I make mistakes and have regrets. |
Even now I have feelings that I can’t figure out. |
See? |
It’s complicated. |
Complicated... |
