PRIVATE CHAT

SHINOBU

SHINOBU
douma

DOUMA
shinobu, hey

SHINOBU
can we talk? i'm pretty
sure you know what i
want to talk about 😬

DOUMA
i actually have a thing
in mind - considering
everything that has
been going on around
(Name) and us yk? 😬

SHINOBU
okay, you're right. but
i'm not here to pick a
fight or remind you abt
anything.

i'm actually here to say
that i'm sorry for every
thing.

DOUMA
it's actually in the past,
i'm sorry too. for every
thing i've done towards
you, kanae, and your
friends. i'm not sure if
you believe me when i
say that i'm trying very
hard to change for the
better.

SHINOBU
i believe in you. don't
worry - (Name) told us
about daki convincing
her to buy us souvenirs,
and i'm very thankful. i
was being very very very
thankful for everything.

DOUMA
hahaha that was daki and
i did almost nothing 😔

SHINOBU
(Name) told us you didn't
try to talk shit about us and
you didn't bring us up at all,
that's actually already a lot.
considering how we used to
do that a lot to each other

DOUMA
LMAO YOU'RE RIGHT 😭

SHINOBU
i know this was sudden, but
this apology is genuine and
i hope that we can be good
friends in the future.

DOUMA
shinobu, can i say something?

SHINOBU
sure

DOUMA
i'm really sorry about kanae,
if i didn't say what i said that
day - she'd still have that life
and everything would be fine.
you're happy, she's happy, i'm
happy. it could've been
prevented if i had just shut up.

SHINOBU
no, actually, i have to be real.
if kanae didn't have the thought
that you bought the position,
you wouldn't have said that to
her, no? i kept avoiding the fact
that none of this would've
happened if she didn't think
that way - instead i focused
on the fact that you said
something to her. i'm sorry,
i really am.

DOUMA
is kanae doing good now?

SHINOBU
she's actually doing very well.
she's trying to pursue a career
out of the country, i think she's
trying to apply for a second
degree rn lol

DOUMA
that's good to hear. and tell
her i said good luck.

SHINOBU
will do, don't worry.

DOUMA
so, we're pretty much friends
now? meaning we could like
hang out together right? i'd
like our group to hang out with
yours + (Name) too.

SHINOBU
ofc, we should do that some
time 🫢

DOUMA
ngl your text had me crying in
sixty different languages. and
throwing up too. i thought we
were about to fight 😀

SHINOBU
WHAT???

DOUMA
CONSIDERING WE HAVE NO
GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH
EACH OTHER - THAT WAS
MY FIRST THOUGHT OKAY??
