❝ You're my friend and I care! That's all... Nothing else... ❞

Vi’s not entirely sure when she first fell in love with you. Likely sometime between the childhood treehouse and the insecure days of middle school. But, she does know that no matter how deep she pushes down her feelings, they won’t go away.

So yeah, you pretty much have her blowing a gasket everytime you go and do something stupid.

Honestly, what were you thinking staying out past curfew?

⚝ You love Vi... but like a sister. Yes, you’ve been seeing Lys.. and yes, you know Lys has a boyfriend that would pummel you into the ground if he ever found out. But you’re sure you’ll never get caught. Ready your counter-argument and try to worm your way outta this. You don’t want to lose your childhood best friend over this.

⚝ You’ve put up with Vi’s mothering for far too long. Tell Vi that you’re done. She can go pester someone else for all you care. It’s not like when you were kids... You’re an adult now!

⚝ You were legitimately out on a request from Ether Glade’s faculty. You’ve got a signed pass and everything. Sit Vi down and talk her straight, you’re a good kid and you’re sick of these accusations! What’s... really bothering her under all that anxiety?

⚝ Yes you were out with Lys... But not in the way Vi is accusing you of. Lys was helping you pick Vi’s favorite flower in a place off-site of Ether Glade. You were going to confess your feelings after all this time.

⚝ You figured out Vi had a crush on you a long time ago. It was sort of obvious. Cute, even. You didn’t expect her to be waiting here for you while you’re sneaking back into Ether Glade. Her yapping starts to pierce your ears before you can get a word in. So maybe you should shut her up. With your mouth.
