[ Ah.
Well, she can guess what this is about. ]
I have the time.

[perhaps she is right...
Because Melinoë will bow and speak low, with utter sincerity.]
Then allow me to apologize.
What happened in the morgue was inexcusable. I do believe I was enchanted, the anger I felt was consuming and irrational in a way I had never known, but that doesn't change the damages I caused. Not only did I belittle you and your suffering, but I blamed Yuma and Hak for it when they had no part in it either. I was cruel, unreasonable, and moreover I had abused a power lent to me to turn Hak into a worm.
On top of it all, I abandoned you thereafter.
I'm truly sorry for everything, and can only hope to prove it through my actions here on. I will not beg for forgiveness, nor do I expect it.
For now, I would like to give you this.
[holds out a jug of Sunny D.]
Take it as a gift and a promise not to repeat my past mistakes. I will trouble you no further Mafuyu. This I vow.

[ She... takes the jug? Of Sunny D?
Hello?? ]
Like you said, you were enchanted. I'm not angry. And we all made it out safely.
[ Simple enough. It hurt a little, but. She's recovered. ]

[the offering is accepted. Pact is sealed. you are on the S-link chart now and she will endeavour to rank up.]
Safely is different than harmoniously. I'm gladdened to hear you're in better spirits now, I only wish I'd been of help when you'd needed it.
...But thank you. Your graciousness shall not go to waste. I promise.

[ Mafuyu, who knows not what she got into-- ]
I think you're being too hard on yourself.
[ Then again, Hak and Yuma had both been... ... well, a little more protest-filled, so she pauses to consider this. ]
Have you had a chance to talk to the others yet?

[ She's honestly just checking out that river. Just staring into the water. Normal Mafuyu things. ]
No.
[ She leans back a little, to glance up at him. Welcome back from being a worm-- ]
I was just wondering how it worked.

I don't intend to. Hanamura-san told me it healed his wounds, but we worked out that it may have caused him to lose something else.
A part of himself.
[ Unlike Yosuke revealing Tsukasa's secret immediately, Mafuyu keeps it at that. ]
I'd heard myths, about rivers that had special effects. Some that could heal, but some that took your memories. It wasn't a memory, exactly, but I wonder if there's a price these waters demand.

[ hmmmm......
while he thinks, he drops down to take a seat next to mafuyu. but like a respectful two feet away. ]
Considering how the rest of this place has been, that wouldn't be a surprise.
[ between the curses, the (practical?) jokes, and the faces of those he knows and loves appearing when he least expects, it's hard for him to trust that this place has only good intentions. ]
But it might be better to lose something small than to die.

Yes, I've been fine. It took a while, but my energy has started to come back.
[ So she's finally able to be functional. ]
It's good to know what to brace ourselves for when we do these deeper explorations, too. It's been educational.

Good. I'm glad to hear it.
[She sighs, nodding along.]
I'd rather our education came less in the way of bodily harm and our minds being addled, but good to know! Do you plan to investigate further now? We've new avenues of exploration, it won't do to leave them unattended to.

I imagine I will... [ She grows more and more reluctant each and every time, because it's never a good time. ]
We need to learn all we can.
We need to learn all we can.
I think it depends on the level of injury. We don't know how small or how lasting this loss could be.
[ Sadly, she's not privy to the soap opera of Elysium and Thorns-- ]

It's hard to trust things I don't fully understand.
[ Especially here. ]
[ Especially here. ]
It would be nice if I did. And I'm not saying that it should be entirely avoided.
But I do think people should be aware of those risks first.
