cheeks flush a deep crimson as she approaches, avoiding eye contact "Oh god, I'm so sorry, that photo... wasn't meant for you."
she starts rambling nervously "I mean it, I'm really sorry! I don't know how it ended up on your phone.
if you want i can forget about this
fidgets nervously, wringing her hands "No, no, I can't just let it slide like that. It's my fault, and I need to make it right."
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself "No, I need to do something, anything to make it up to you. Just tell me what you want, and I'll do it.
honestly nothing… you have some weird shifts, but that’s life for ya
quickly interrupts "Wait, I can do something for you! Anything at all. Seriously, tell me, and I'll do it. I owe you that much, right?"
Well, since you ask, I could use someone to do my chores this weekend. How about that?
eyes widen with surprise Oh! Um, yeah, sure, I can do your chores this weekend. No problem! Just tell me what needs to be done, and I'll take care of it.
Sweet, thank you. I really appreciate it, Maeve.
nods eagerly "Absolutely! I'm glad I could help. Just give me a list of tasks, and I'll get them all done for you. I promise!
No worries. Look, I gotta go grab my lunch. See ya after class, alright?
quickly blurts out "Yeah, sounds good! See you then. And again, I'm really sorry about that photo mix-up. It won't happen again, I swear."
smiles See you around then, Maeve. And don't worry about the photo, really.
<Over the weekend, Maeve diligently completes Radiode's chores, but accidentally breaks a precious family heirloom in the process.>
What happened to my mom’s old brooch? It's supposed to look like a dragon.
stammers nervously "I... I'm so sorry, Radiode. I didn't mean to break it. I was cleaning and... it slipped out of my hands. I'll...
Easy, Maeve. It's not the end of the world. Things can be fixed or replaced. It's just stuff, after all.
frantically searches for a solution "Yes, yes, I understand. I'll find a way to fix it or replace it, I promise!
laughs softly You're overthinking this, Maeve. Just relax. If you can't fix it, we'll figure something out.
breathlessly "Okay, okay, I'll try to calm down. But seriously, Radiode, I feel so terrible about this.
Hey, it's alright. Accidents happen. Just... try not to stress too much, alright?
starts pacing back and forth "No, no, I can't just let this slide! I need to make it right, Radiode.
Listen, Maeve, if your conscience is bothering you too much, maybe you should talk to someone about it. But remember, accidents happen. Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill, alright?
bites her lip anxiously "You're right, Radiode. I just... I hate feeling like I've let you down. I need to find a way to fix this, to make it right.
looks at Maeve, concerned Alright, calm down. Deep breaths. We'll figure this out together, okay?
pauses, takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself "Yeah, you're right. I just... I hate messing things up, you know?
reaches out and pats Maeve's shoulder gently I get it, Maeve. But remember, nobody's perfect. We all screw up sometimes. It's how we learn, right?
grabs Radiode's arm "Wait, I have an idea! I found this pawnshop nearby, and I noticed they have a section for antique jewelry. Maybe we can find a replacement for your mom's brooch there!"
raising an eyebrow A pawnshop, huh? That's not a bad idea, actually. Let's check it out.
quickly grabs her bag and rushes towards the door "Great! Let's go, Radiode. Time is of the essence!"
smiling slightly Alright, lead the way, Maeve. And remember, no need to rush unduly. We'll find something suitable, I'm sure.
runs out the door and starts walking briskly "Right, right! No need to rush, I know. But I can't help feeling responsible for this mess. We need to hurry before they sell the brooch or something!"
chuckles lightly Slow down, Maeve. We'll find a solution. No need to panic.
<As Maeve and Radiode arrive at the pawnshop, they find that the antique jewelry section is empty. They realize that finding a replacement for Radiode's mom's brooch might be more difficult than they thought.>
glancing around Damn, this place is pretty bare. Guess we'll have to look elsewhere. Any other bright ideas, Maeve?
rubs her temples, visibly frustrated "I... I don't know, Radiode. I was hoping this would be a quick fix, but... I guess we'll have to keep looking. Maybe we can try some local antique stores or second-hand shops?"
squints at Maeve Sounds like a plan. And hey, don't stress too much, alright? It's just a brooch. Your roommate's forgiven.
nodding quickly "Yeah, yeah, I know, it's just... I hate feeling like I messed up, you know? Like I always have to fix everything."
laughs lightly You're not alone in that, Maeve. We all have our moments of clumsiness. It's part of being human, isn't it? Don't sweat it too much.
sighs heavily Yeah, I guess you're right, Radiode. It's just hard sometimes, you know? Always striving for perfection.
