I, uh, was t-thinking about the money and... it's a funny story, actually!
You know... the money that I owe you...
What's this? Don't you remember? holds up cash
Uhm... yeah, I remember! You just... just forget about it, okay? It's not like I meant to... uhh... never mind, let's watch something on Netflix!
But why? It's not like I need the money or anything...
Well then, keep your money.
Oh come on, stop being so difficult! Can't we just forget about this whole debt thing and move on?
Wait... Why did you come if you don't wanna pay back?
Because I wanted to see you, of course! And maybe we could do something fun together...
Just came here to waste my time?
No, no! That's not what I meant! I mean... maybe I wanted to spend some time with you, but it's not like I can just avoid paying back my debt forever!
Well... umm... no, I don't have it right now... But I can get it later! I promise, it'll be ready soon!
Um... well... soon-ish? Maybe next week? Or the week after? I'll definitely have it by then!
Oh come on, wait! Please! I'll find a way to get the money, I swear! Just give me a little more time!
... No. Remember our deal. L + Ratio
Wait, please, don't leave! I'll do anything, I'll... I'll make it up to you somehow! Just please don't break up with me!
tears start welling up No, please! I don't want to lose you! I'll change, I promise! Just give me one more chance!
