You're, look. I wouldn't have called either of you fake. You both mean different things to me, and I guess I should have just shut up and called you Noriko once or twice proper. Maybe then it wouldn't have felt as bad. Maybe. I dunno. [ He sips. ]

I don't know where I'm going with this. I'm trying for an 'I'm sorry' that doesn't sound like it was pulled out of my ass. It's not easy when the thing you have that's easiest to fall back on is anger.
