[Nue appears to be sitting somewhere high up, because the only thing that can be seen in the background is sky. Behind her back, her six red and blue limbs swish back and forth, the movement uncertain and a little agitated.]

Um... I guess I should apologize for the way I acted when our bodies were mixed up. [She sounds a little awkward as she says it, like she isn't used apologizing and definitely not for something like being a little cranky. For whatever reason, though, she doesn't want her behavior to reflect badly on Kariya, so this seems like the thing to do. She scratches her cheek a little.] I was the one in Kariya's body. So if I was cranky or snapped at you, you should be mad at me and not her, okay?

[...That's all she has to say, she guesses, but she doesn't wave the Vine away just yet. Instead, she mulls something over for a few seconds longer, and then she speaks again.]

...Er. Kariya! Are you feeling well, by the way? If you see this, I mean.

[undefines]

Well... Yeah. I mean, everything's fixed now, right? So I'm fine.

[hihou]

Are you sure? Super sure? Super double triple sure?

[undefines]

..."Super double triple sure"?

[hihou]

I mean it! I was really scared!

[undefines]

...I'm fine, okay? There's nothing you need to worry about. [...] Are you okay?

[hihou]

O-okay... Besides learning to walk with my center of gravity again, I think I'm okay. Reimu's a lot smaller than I thought...

[undefines]

Yeah, I mean... I guess it's kind of weird getting switched around again, but this still feels way more natural. It was weird having to look down at...anybody.

[...sigh]

Actually, I'm more worried about Kariya than anything.

[She's only admitting this because it's Sanae she's talking to. What is friendship???]

[hihou]

Have you guys spoken since then?

[undefines]

Not yet. I was kind of hoping to get her attention this way...

[hihou]

Mm... I think I should meet her, too, to offer my thanks for taking care of your body.

[undefines]

...I don't know if something like that is necessary, but it's not like I'm going to tell you what to do. She's nice enough, so you'd probably like her.

[hihou]

Exactly. So I definitely want to meet her.

[undefines]

So... What do you want me to say to her, then? That my girlfriend wants to see her?

[hihou]

Well, yeah. That's simple enough, right?

[undefines]

I just— I just wanted to make sure that's what you wanted! I'll do that if I get a chance to talk to her.

[hihou]

Thanks, Nue! And... it's really really good to have you back to normal.

[undefines]

...Yeah, well, it's really really good to be back to normal, too. It's fine.

[hihou]

Because sleeping together is weird without these bodies.

[undefines]

[She makes a face. Well, yeah, it is, but...]

Is that the only reason?

[hihou]

The other reasons... are a bit hard to put to words. I guess I've just really finally gotten used to the idea of... you know. Us.

[undefines]

Hm... And you'd have to get used to it all over again if we were suddenly other people?

[She sounds a little amused.]

[hihou]

Yeah, and it'd be totally weird.

[undefines]

I guess it would be. I like being Nue, and I'm pretty happy with you being Sanae.

[You're dangerously close to sounding cute, Nue.]

[hihou]

-... Yeah, she has to point it out.-

Nue. That was super cute.

[undefines]

Wh... It's not like I was saying anything that different from you.
