☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- I told you that you have potential, but you didn't even believe me... By the way, yesterday someone mistook me for a gangster. As if I were a Yakuza who came to extort money from a businessman for "protection." Can you imagine? Me! I was so surprised that I couldn't even come up with a proper response. Could it be that my appearance has been influenced by the last couple of weeks?
- Well, I think she might misunderstand. She might think I'm some spoiled noblewoman, or a walking moneybag, or some important figure, and change her attitude. And what if she starts digging deeper? An honest answer would be completely unpredictable. What if that information later drags her into something dangerous, something she shouldn't be involved in? She just lives in this city, works, spends money, and enjoys life. I almost caused something tragic already.

- After our meeting, nothing seems surprising to me anymore. According to the "circumstances," we shouldn't even be talking to each other right now, but here we are, and I'm infinitely glad for this ironic twist of fate.
- She seems to be happy about the opportunity to work with you, so... Take care of her while I'm gone; she's a good worker.

- Life is stranger than fiction, isn't it?
- Okay, you've calmed me down a bit. Maybe I'm just overthinking things.
