POLKA DOT: You haven’t done shit to me, I’m not against talking to you.
POLKA DOT: You just…seem uncomfortable around me.
ROULETTE: It isn't-
 

It stops, having trouble getting its thoughts together.

ROULETTE: ...It's nothing against you specifically.
ROULETTE: I wish you hadn't reported what happened,
ROULETTE: I very much wish you hadn't.
ROULETTE: But it happened and it's done, and we've both made our positions clear on that.
ROULETTE: As far as seeming uncomfortable around you...
ROULETTE: ...I am... not really comfortable with... anyone... here, exactly.
ROULETTE: Not, because of any sort of... malice, or-
 

Roulette closes its eyes, fans working overtime, drawing the idle glance from one or two others in the group.
Noticing this, it seems to quickly reign it in, straightening its posture so as to look like everything was fine.

ROULETTE: ...It is... complicated.
ROULETTE: But nothing personal against you.
ROULETTE: At most... I do not like that you witnessed what happened.
ROULETTE: Which brings about feelings of... shame, I suppose.
ROULETTE: More than a little humiliating having someone see... something like that, happen.
ROULETTE: But nothing personal.
ROULETTE: Only...
ROULETTE: ...complicated.
ROULETTE: And the rest - of all of this - is not exactly worth getting into.
ROULETTE: As I said: There is no reason for you to get this involved.
POLKA DOT: I mean…
POLKA DOT: As long as you’re hanging out with him-
 

You gesture to Devo.

POLKA DOT: And I’m hanging out with him-
 

You gesture to Tim.

POLKA DOT: We’re probably gonna be around each other a bunch, provided things go well for them.
POLKA DOT: To say I’m not gonna get involved is kind of silly.
POLKA DOT: So…I’m cool with talking.
ROULETTE: Being in proximity does not mean we have to talk.
ROULETTE: And it definitely does not require you getting involved with me on a personal level.
ROULETTE: I tend not to involve myself with anyone here save for Devo, and only because we met prior to arriving.
ROULETTE: I do not think that's a good idea for... anyone, frankly.
ROULETTE: ...I am not exactly opposed to the former, though.
ROULETTE: I don't... suppose there's any harm with, chatting. On occasion.
ROULETTE: I will leave that up to you.
