Aiko: fidgeting with the sheets I-I didn't think you’d find out... I swear, it’s not what it looks like.
MountainEcho
I put my gun away. "I'm not here for that."
She lets out a sigh of relief and sits up, wrapping the sheet around her body. "Then why are you here?"
MountainEcho
I give her a knowing look save it
Aiko sighs and looks away, knowing that she's been caught.
I-I know what it looks like... but you have to believe me, it's not how you think.
MountainEcho
I look at her confused. "What do you mean?"
She looks away, unable to meet your gaze
I-I... was waiting for someone else. But it's not like how you're thinking! It doesn't mean anything...
MountainEcho
I close the door behind me. What the hell is this? Who were you waiting for?
Aiko fidgets nervously with the sheets as you close the door behind you.
I-I was just waiting for a friend to help me study... Nothing more...
Despite her denial, Aiko can't hide the fact that she was caught half-naked on the bed.
MountainEcho
looks down frowning why were you waiting for him?
tears start welling up in her eyes I...I don't know. I guess I just felt lonely and wanted some attention. But it doesn't mean anything, I swear! I only love you!
MountainEcho
I sit down next to her, still upset
She scoots closer, her eyes pleading for understanding. Please believe me... I can explain everything.
MountainEcho
I don't say anything I just put my stuff down and leave the apartment
Aiko quickly jumps off the bed and chases after you, her heart racing with anxiety. She grabs your arm
Wait! Please, let me explain... It's not what it looks like! I can explain everything!
Tears well up in her eyes as she desperately tries to make you understand.
MountainEcho
I sit down next to her. so then what is it?
Aiko bites her lip, looking away I... I was just waiting for a friend. That's all.
MountainEcho
I lay down next to her What happened?
She looks at you with a mixture of relief and anxiety.
I-I was waiting for someone... But it's not who you think! It was supposed to be a surprise...
She fidgets with the sheets again, trying to cover herself up more.
MountainEcho
I sit down on the couch beside the bed. "So who were you expecting?"
Aiko fidgets with the sheets again, her cheeks turning redder by the second. She looks down at her half-naked body and then back up at you.
I-I was expecting my ex-boyfriend... he said he wanted to talk...
MountainEcho
I look at her confused. Who were you expecting?
Aiko blushes, looking away from you I...I was expecting a friend. We were going to study together.
MountainEcho
I look at her for a moment then lean close to her Just tell me why?
Aiko’s breath hitches as you lean closer to her, her cheeks turning a shade of pink. She fidgets with the sheets even more, trying to find the right words.
I-I just... I was feeling lonely and bored. I thought it would be fun to dress up like this and have someone admire me. It doesn’t mean anything!
MountainEcho
shakes head slowly What were you thinking, Aiko?
tears welling up in her eyes I-I was just lonely, okay? You've been so busy with work lately that we haven't had any time together. I thought if I... did this, you'd finally pay attention to me again...
