[That really didn't go as planned, so she's just going to be blunt now.]

Oh, it's fine.

[Grumble. Dumb nickname. He's probably glaring at Haru across the room at the moment too.]

You people and your nicknames. Why can't you just leave me alone?

No, it's okay... I mean, I realized you were kind of right right and all.
