RANPO-SAN!!!!

You

I

Ugh

I don’t even

Oh god

Shit

[Guess who’s hungover and just saw all of this.]

[sweetsleuth]

I said I was sorry, right?

[He said he was sorry before he left, he did not say what he was sorry for.]

[handydandynotebook]

Yes but

Now everyone knows how the night went

It was supposed to be a nice date

I’m sorry too

But also mortified

Mortified and sorry

[sweetsleuth]

I'm never drinking again.

[handydandynotebook]

That makes two of us.

How are you feeling?

[sweetsleuth]

My head hurts.
But I think I've peaked in terms of how much shame I can feel at once.
So there's that at least.

[handydandynotebook]

We’re in the same boat there.

I’m certain everyone will delete that picture if you ask them to, at least.

[sweetsleuth]

At least it's a nice picture.

The only ones of you were from the bar and too blurry to see anyway.

[Looking on the bright side??]

[handydandynotebook]

It is. And not too terribly lewd.

Oh. Right. Those pictures.

At least Yosano-sensei didn’t see any of this.

[sweetsleuth]

It's nice to know drunk-me did something right.

[handydandynotebook]

For what it’s worth I’m not upset with you, Ranpo-san. It was an accident.

[sweetsleuth]

Just because it was an accident doesn't mean you're not allowed to be mad at me.
I'm older than you. I should know better.

[handydandynotebook]

Even still, I feel bad about our date going south, so I really can't bring myself to be angry with you for something like this.

[sweetsleuth]

It wasn't all bad, at least.
It was really nice until it wasn't.

Next time, we won't drink as much.

[Already saying "as much" despite his declaration never to drink again just a few seconds ago.]

[handydandynotebook]

Wait, you mean you’d actually want to go on another date with me after that?

[He’s a little shocked, honestly, that Ranpo would be thinking about a next time.]

[sweetsleuth]

What, do you not want to?

[handydandynotebook]

Of course I want to, I just didn’t know if you would want to.

I don’t want to disappoint you.

[sweetsleuth]

Well, you're in luck! Our first date was such a disaster, there's nowhere to go but up from here!

[handydandynotebook]

[WOW RANPO?? It’s true but he shouldn’t say it!!]

I suppose that’s one way to look at it, yes.

I’m in favor of leaving alcohol out entirely next time.

[sweetsleuth]

That might be for the best.

[But will they actually stick to it?? Who knows!]

[tigerpoet]

Are you alright? I promised I would come in and check on you, if you don't mind.

[handydandynotebook]

[Oh god he’s not ready for this.]

Nakajima-sensei...I’m sorry you had to read all of that. I’m kind of a mess right now.

And very hungover. I can’t guarantee I’ll be a very good host.

[tigerpoet]

I'm not expecting you to be a good host. I'm expecting to come over and take care of you.

[handydandynotebook]

[Atsushi is a good boy.]

You don’t have to, but if you insist I’ll leave the door unlocked.

[tigerpoet]

[He cares...]

I insist.

See you soon.
