-The mature tone, finally, intervened.- I apologize. I don't mean to burden you with these things. It is simply just that I don't think of it as cruel. It is just... how humanity is. Exceptions are just that, exceptions. So I can't be offended by what is an expected, collective response by humans.

-The youthful tone came back.- But I appreciate those exceptions, all the same. I really do appreciate how kind you've been to me, Ritsuka!
