I went back to my room, I think I'm going to have nightmares

I went to the bathroom to take a shower, I looked at the mirror

This isn't me

I'm not a pink haired pink eyed short girl

Does that mean-

I'm Otori Emu?!

I'm lucky it's a timeline where we didn't know each other beforehand

They would've gotten suspicious of me

The next day after breakfast, Rui walked away

He looks panicked

And I think he's avoiding someone

I'll go confront him

"Rui, are you trying to avoid someone?"

Rui
I'm trying to avoid Tsukasa-kun

"Why"

Rui
I don't want to hurt him
He could've died-
I'm sorry, please don't tell anyone

"What did you do?"

Rui
One of my inventions malfunctioned
It went a bit insane
But it was lucky it didn't harm anyone, I turned it off before it did too much damage
One of it's attacks almost hit Tsukasa-kun

"Oh"

"Have you apologized?"

Rui
I'm too scared to
I don't think he would forgive me
And if that's the case, I could never-
I'm saying too much

"You could never?"

Rui starts to blush a bit

Does that mean-

"You should at least try, you never know until you do"

Rui
You're right
I should apologize

"I'll go with you, just in case you need me"

When we're walking around, Mafuyu came up to me

Mafuyu
____, Nene wants to see you

"Alright"

"I'll be going now, bye Rui"

Rui
Alright, see you

After talking to Nene, I encounter Tsukasa

Tsukasa
____, how could you...

"What do you mean?"

Tsukasa throws his fist at me, thank goodness Emu is good at acrobatics and I dodged his attacks with ease

"Tsukasa, what are you doing?!"

Tsukasa
What are you trying to do with Rui?

"Huh?"

"I was chatting with him earlier, what's wrong with that?"

Tsukasa
Stay away from him!

"Tsukasa, you got it all wrong"

"I'm trying to help Rui resolve an issue"

"He said there was an incident that happened in his lab last night and you were almost hurt from that"

"He wanted to apologize"

Tsukasa
I'm sorry for suddenly attacking you like that, ____...

"It's fine, it was just a misunderstanding"

"Were you jealous because I got a bit too close to Rui?

Tsukasa
How did you-

"Don't worry it's safe with me"

"And also, you should confess"

Tsukasa
But what if-

"Trust me, you won't regret it"
