(another offline part to this: relevant to current milly posts about being afraid of reopening friendzoo. maybe it would have made more sense to write them reconciling beforehand but i did not want to.)
mildew: i don't know... i can't shake the feeling that if i stay away for any longer something bad is going to happen. i just don't want them to die...
elfried: well... do you know if they can?
mildew: what?
mildew: of course they can die!!! i... i think.
mildew: everyone dies. right?
elfried: maybe you should try to focus on something else for now.
mildew: absolutely not. my rasters could be dying!!! and it'd be my fault!
mildew: your fault, actually...
elfried: they are not going to die... and neither are you.
mildew: i guess...
mildew: but i can't stop thinking about it... like i know it's only been a week but what if they just get even more mad at me? what if the food i left out for them isn't enough?
mildew: what if their food spoils??? ...do you think that can happen?
elfried: calm down. nothing bad is going to happen tonight, okay?
mildew: you don't know that.
mildew: you don't know everything.
elfried: i would like to think i know enough.
mildew: whatever.
elfried: ...your hot chocolate's going to get cold at this rate.
mildew: right. right, i should just forget about this whole "people are dying because i am the worst" thing and drink up. i know!!!
elfried: i only want you to take care of yourself.
mildew: how is that going to help anything???
elfried: ...i don't like to see you in such a state, you know.
mildew: could've fooled me...
elfried: just settle down please, will you? it's so late.
elfried: we can, uh... figure something out, eventually. tomorrow at the earliest.
mildew: what if that's too late?
elfried: it won't be...
mildew: they're definitely going to be upset, though...
elfried: maybe. but you will be fine either way.
