Isn't it funny how you can spend weeks, months, and maybe even longer in trying to be a better person.

Only for a couple of bad days to make it feel like you lost most of your progress?

How's your arm? Is it better?

I'm so sorry.

its fine justine got it patched all up. you werent yourself i dont blame you!!!! dont apologize!!!!!!!!!

[Regina literally could not be less angry; she's honestly just glad she could help keep Monika from doing anything else she would regret.]

[loadme]

[Her immediate reaction is, of course, to apologize.

However all those exclamation points are saying that maybe she shouldn't.]

Can I do anything in return for you?

[onlyangelshavewings]

well not beatin yourself up is a good start

[She doesn't want Monika to blame herself, or to spend forever feeling terrible for something that wasn't even entirely her fault. Or at all her fault!]

but if you wanna maybe you could treat me to lunch sometime

[loadme]

I'd love to.

You can pick whatever you'd like! Anything at all.

[It'd be nice to talk to her and get to know her a bit.]

[onlyangelshavewings]

im not picky honey!! when do you wanna get together because all im doing these days is working at night otherwise im free

[It sounds fantastic, getting to spend time with somebody new-- she's spent plenty of time with new people, of course, but it's all been business. This time, she gets to have a personal day.]

I need a little bit of time. I don't think I'd be very fun to be around, right now.

Once I'm better, I promise we'll go somewhere nice.

[She's promising!]
