Her reflection mentioned some of that, too, [ she muses after a moment of thought, ] and called her "cipher." But she made it sound like she'd made the contract with someone named Igor instead of Ryoji. Or whoever Ryoji was then.
[ it stands to reason that the two of them--this mysterious mysterious version of ryoji and even more igor--were connected to the contract somehow. were this a more trivial mystery, yukari would dig into it, but.... well. she already knows heartbreak lies in wait at the end. ]
I didn't ask what that meant. It...wasn't really the time. [ nor was it after escaping the hall or after they'd kis--no. no thinking about it. ] She never said anything about what happened being...I don't know, fate or something, but that's just the thing, isn't it? She never talked about it. Ever. You can't blame yourself for not knowing she was hurting.
And don't say you're not because you are. [ yukari fixes mitsuru with a piercing stare that very few people in camelot or otherwise would get away with. ] Otherwise, you wouldn't stay holed up in your room for days avoiding everyone. This isn't-- [ she pauses, wondering if what she wants to say next is too harsh, but sets her shoulders before continuing, ] This isn't how you make up for thinking you're a bad friend.
This isn't working. Talking to her is the only way to fix this.
