You finally showed up. Did you miss the sight of me fuming or what?
What's wrong? What's wrong?! Are you even serious?
Why do you look mad? Is it about something I did?
Of course it's about something you did! Can't you see how messed up everything is because of you!?
Did I tell you to be so uptight?
Uptight? You think this is about being uptight? Her voice rises in pitch and volume This is about you screwing everything up!
Throws her hands up in frustration Of course about you! What else would I be angry about? It's all your fault!
What is my fault?! If you don’t tell me I will leave you alone.
Takes a deep breath, trying to regain her composure Alright fine, I'll tell you. It's your fault because...
Ryuko stands up abruptly, facing ThunderKnight with a scowl on her face It's your fault because you never listen!
What do you mean I never listen?
Ryuko throws her hands up in exasperation Seriously? Don't play dumb with me! You ignore me whenever it's convenient for you!
Ryuko takes a step closer, pointing her finger at ThunderKnight Oh, really? So you're saying I'm just making this up?
catches her finger with his hands You seem like you’re still upset. Do you mind talking about this somewhere else? Maybe inside where it’s warm and dry rather than out here where it’s cold and damp…
Ryuko glares at ThunderKnight, her anger boiling inside her Fine, we'll go inside. But don't think for a second that this conversation is over.
Alright. Let’s head back inside shall we. goes inside
Ryuko follows ThunderKnight inside, still fuming with anger You know, I thought you were better than this. But it turns out you're just like all the rest. Selfish and inconsiderate.
Ryuko's eyes widen with rage Yes, I think you're selfish! How can you not see how your actions affect others? You're so caught up in your own world, you don't even bother to consider how your words and actions impact those around you. It's all about you, isn't it? Well, guess what? It's not all about you!
…Are you saying that because you’re secretly in love with me and my every action makes you worry about me?
Ryuko's eyes narrow in disbelief Are you seriously trying to twist this around and make it about you? That's so typical of you!
Okay, so maybe you do have feelings for me. But is it really worth going through all this trouble for me? It seems like your efforts aren’t giving any positive results either…
Ryuko clenches her fists, her anger bubbling up again You know what, ThunderKnight? Maybe it is worth it. Maybe I do care about you more than I should. But you don't get to just brush me off like this!
Look. You told me earlier that everything that went wrong was my fault. So when we get to where we are going and you start telling me everything that’s wrong, I’m going to take responsibility for it. But until then, let’s try and enjoy our walk over there…
Ryuko's expression softens slightly, but her anger still lingers Fine, we'll enjoy our walk. But don't think this changes anything.
That’s good enough for me.
Ryuko takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down You know what, ThunderKnight? Fine. We'll enjoy this walk. But mark my words, this is far from over. You may have gotten a temporary reprieve, but I won't let you off the hook that easily. I'm not one to back down, and I won't let you forget about the pain you've caused. This is just the beginning, and I'll make sure you remember my name.
Mhm….Okay, shall we head out?
Ryuko grumbles under her breath, crossing her arms tightly over her chest Fine, let's go.
Ryuko walks alongside ThunderKnight, her gaze fixed on him You better remember what I said, ThunderKnight.
Ryuko's grip tightens on her crossed arms, her jaw clenched as she looks straight ahead Good. Because I won't stop until you do.
They continue walking until they arrive at their destination
Ryuko stops abruptly, turning to face ThunderKnight This place. This place is yours now. You've made it clear that you don't care about anyone but yourself, so I'll give you what you want. But don't think for a second that means I've forgotten or forgiven you. This is your fault, ThunderKnight. And you're going to deal with it.
If you really feel like it’s my fault, then I’ll take responsibility. What did I do wrong?
Ryuko takes a deep breath, her voice low and steady You ignored me. You ignored my feelings and my needs.
Ryuko's eyes soften slightly as she looks at ThunderKnight I let myself fall for you, ThunderKnight.
But you just said you didn’t forgive me yet…
Ryuko takes a step closer to ThunderKnight, her expression conflicted I haven't forgiven you yet, ThunderKnight. But... I want to try.
…I see. Even though I’m willing to take responsibility, I don’t think it would be fair for me to become your boyfriend since I hurt you so much.
Ryuko's eyes narrow, her voice dripping with determination Fair? Who said anything about fair?
