Part 952: Noire C

Phew! I'm exhausted!

.....

Er, hullo?

.....

Gerome? Is that you?

Yes.

Eeek! H-how long were you going to stand there and... stare at me? You weren't... just watching me... were you? ...What do you want, anyway?!

I don't want anything.

Um, okay. So then why-

Do you wish for me to go?

I don't know. ...I suppose not. I'm finished now, so it doesn't really matter either way.

Because if I am bothering you, I can stand farther away. Over there, perhaps?

No, no. It's okay, you don't have to...

(Gerome leaves)

Oh. He's gone. That's... mildly disturbing. W-wait! Could it be that someone sent him to spy on me? Because then...

Oh no!
