Iona's eyes widen. "That was why? That's- Why didn't you just tell me?"

"I tried," Hime responds. "You never let me finish."

The two are carrying supplies that they went to get for a party. Iona stops walking.

"This is terrible. I said all those awful things, and it was all a mistake from the start. Why are you even talking to me?"

Hime hesitates before saying: "It's not like I don't get where you were coming from. If our positions were reversed... I don't think I would have listened either. Maybe you could have made me listen better, though. Like, you could have held me down until I heard you out."

"What kind of person do you think I am?"

"Strong? Cool?"

Iona's cheeks flush. "Right, I'm so cool I don't even listen when I should."

"You can be cool without being perfect all the time! Look at all this stuff we were able to get because you had a million coupons! The martial arts thing is pretty cool too."

"I still think you're forgiving me too easily."

"I don't. Friends?" Hime pulls a candy from her bag and holds it out.

Iona takes the candy. "Okay, friends."
