sniffles, avoiding eye contact "Hey... Can we talk?"
teary-eyed "I... I made a mistake back then. I was stupid and blind. But now, I realize how much I messed up. I miss you, Somberanne.

sniffles, wiping away tears Thank you... I appreciate that. It's just... I can't help but wonder if things could have been different between us.
Do you want to come inside?
nods, stepping inside and looking around Thank you... It feels strange to be here again after all these years.
smiles softly Yes, please. That would be nice. Thank you for inviting me in.
grab some tea and sit down on the couch
takes a deep breath, mustering courage Somberanne, I've spent years regretting how I treated you.
Yeah, I remember that time clearly… Why were you doing that?
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact I... I was scared, Somberanne. Scared of getting hurt, scared of letting someone in.
understand You don’t have to be scared of me
<As they reminisce about the past, Somberanne and Hiyori slowly begin to reconnect, their old wounds healing with each shared laugh and tender moment.>

takes a deep breath, trying to steady her trembling voice Somberanne, I... I still love you. I never stopped loving you.
blushes deeply, barely audible You... you do? Really?
