...we'll need to work on that, then.

No, you wouldn't. People change clothes all the time... they keep entire rooms full of different clothes sometimes. You have to at least have some spares, since they need to be washed regularly, and will degrade with time and use.

I should get other people to do it.

... That seems senseless.

...uuuuuh. You should probably get in the habit of doing it yourself, regardless. ...though I suppose there are places that'd do it for you. ...on occasion.

Not... really...? Clothes can be fun, and they get stinky if you wear them too much.

... I do have this Credit Card... so I don't see the point.

... I like it when they stink.

...credit cards have limits, Moeko.

...most people don't, Moeko. Besides, you can use all sorts of nice scents when you're clean.

No Limit Platinum.

... Not interested.

...you're kind of spoiled with that, aren't you?

...you ought to give it a try, at least. You don't know if you like something until you try it.

... I like it.

... I don't want to.

I'm sure you do, but it can make things boring to be spoiled.

...why not?

... I want to be spoiled.

I like being dirty.

...you're definitely like the old Noriko, then. It's not good to want to be spoiled all the time, though. You'll be seen as demanding, and people won't want to get to know you, generally speaking.

... Why?

I am Wakahisa Noriko.

... Because I do...?

...yes, yes, but still, people like to get something back for their effort. Spoiled people tend to just take, which makes them rather hard to like.

But what's your reason?

But I need to take first...

... It... feels... good.

...why?

You don't feel good when you get clean?

Because I need to.

No. I feel burnt.

Why do you need to?

... You have the water too hot, dear.

Because. I need to.

... Always burns. Don't like it.

WHY do you need to?

...I think you're doing something wrong.

Need to have before give.

... It always burns. Don't like it.

While that's true to a point, you can still give of yourself. Through your actions, your words, and your work.

...what are you using to clean yourself?

Not yet.

... Water. Soap. Hurts.

...not yet?

... maybe you're scrubbing too hard. Or using really strong soap. ... Maybe I should just give you a bath myself, so you know how it feels when it's done right.

...I'd have Juliette do it, but she gets a bit... overzealous.

Not yet.

Did like you did. Hurts.

Why not yet?

...well, you said that you wouldn't mind so much if someone did it for you, so maybe let me try? If it doesn't work, I'll just have to think of something else.
