"If I'm extra sarcastic with you it probably means I'm flirting with you or you really annoy me and I can't handle your crap... have fun figuring out which one."

What a lovely evening to spend stargazing.

"... /Only/? Color me surprised, you've been showing more restraints than I've expected. Are you certain you aren't simply lovesick?"

Well, it doesn't matter. She just came over to drop a bag of various bottled pills. Yugamu can figure out by himself which one will help, she ain't his mother.

What... What are you even going on about???

[ Leave it to Darumi to manage to baffle Hiruko. ]
