[An upbeat male voice comes on:]

Hey, it's Morgan! If you were expecting a girl, you picked the wrong picture. If not, then congratulations! But sorry too, because this means I've missed you. Leave a message!

[ O-Oh... That was a big pile of compliments. Maybe they're a given, coming from his girlfriend, but they matter more for coming from Noire. He really is blushing now, and his hand shifts from her hair to cradle her cheek. ]

Better to get the last kiss than the first, I think. But I think I understand.

[ After all... He considers her for a moment. ]

Was I your first kiss, Noire?

[bloodandblunder]

... [ she sighs a little, with an even smaller frown. ]

No... one of my friends took that, but he wasn't exactly himself at the time.

[memlost]

[ His smile gives way to contemplation. That's a little disappointing, but... maybe not so surprising. ]

... Was it Eugeo?

[bloodandblunder]

[ ... Odd, had she ever-- ]

Um, yes. He was possessed, though... by several ghosts.

[memlost]

[ Nope. ]

Several ghosts... that forced him to kiss you?!

[ PERVERT GHOSTS NOW ]

[bloodandblunder]

It's a long story, but he wasn't able to control himself at all.

... But I didn't know you knew about Eugeo.

[memlost]

[ ... All right then... he supposes he'll let Eugeo slide there..... ]

Only a little. I think he's supposed to be my anti-role model.

[bloodandblunder]

Anti--?

[memlost]

No false starts, unintentional flirting, breaking your heart, making you sad... and I should always be there for you and take care of you! Which was my plan to begin with, actually.

[ So that works out. ]

[bloodandblunder]

I... see. [ and she'll briefly close her eyes. ] So Morgan told you a lot.

[memlost]

[ He softens and brings his arms around her, welcoming her to a hug. ]

That was the whole of it. I didn't ask for the details.

[bloodandblunder]

[ It's an offer she'll accept, as she moves to rest her forehead against his. ]

Morgan... if you want to ask me anything, you're welcome to.

[memlost]

[ Does he want to know...? He considers that for a moment, forehead to hers, before answering. ]

What was it you liked about him?

[bloodandblunder]

... That he never gave up. He didn't view himself as anything special, but he was always trying to get stronger and to improve himself. And he never considered me a burden, no matter how much trouble I put him through.

He... really was one of my closest friends here.

[memlost]

Hmm... He sounds like a really good person.

[ Dilemma... ]

[bloodandblunder]

Ah, he is! I know Morgan was angry with him, but he really wasn't bad!

[memlost]

[ On one hand, he and Morgan tend to make the same assessments. On the other... ]

I thought that might be the case. You wouldn't like someone for no reason.

[bloodandblunder]

Mm... and there were even more reasons to like you.

[memlost]

... Heh.

[ There's no reason to be jealous, is there? If she feels the same way for him as he does for her, then there's nothing to worry about. ]

I count myself lucky every day. Thank you, Noire.

[bloodandblunder]

That really should be my line-- at any rate, there's no need to thank me. I feel very lucky myself.

[ to be on his... lap... ]

[memlost]

[ He feels very lucky about that too, let it be known... ]

Well, I think that's all I was really curious about. If there's ever a chance, I'll have to meet him myself.

[bloodandblunder]

I'd like that... [ and she smiles, a little bashfully. ] I think he would, too.

[memlost]

Good! ... As long as he understands that there are no takebacks.

[ Even if she wouldn't respond, other guys hitting on Noire isn't permitted!! ]

[bloodandblunder]

Takeba-- o-oh no, it's not like that! Like I said, I'm completely yours!

[memlost]

And I'm yours, now and forever. I think anyone would have to be absolutely peanutty not to have you given the chance.
