I, uh, was t-thinking about the money and... it's a funny story, actually!
Vulcalloc
... What money?
You know... the money that I owe you...
Vulcalloc
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!
Vulcalloc
No. Now pay me back.
But why? It's not like I need the money or anything...
Vulcalloc
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?
Vulcalloc
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...
Vulcalloc
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!
Vulcalloc
Do you not have it?
Well... umm... no, I don't have it right now... But I can get it later! I promise, it'll be ready soon!
Vulcalloc
How soon?
Um... well... soon-ish? Maybe next week? Or the week after? I'll definitely have it by then!
Vulcalloc
If not, bye.
Oh come on, wait! Please! I'll find a way to get the money, I swear! Just give me a little more time!
Vulcalloc
... 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!
Vulcalloc
Already did 💀
