Ume: I wasn’t planning on keeping it from you.

Sirius: So what, you were just going to conveniently not bring it up? I think you misunderstand what a secret is. 

Ume: I was just waiting for the right moment.

Sirius: Sure, because what, we end up buddy, buddy and then just casually slip in, “Oh hey? Remember your fiance? I just knocked her up while you were in jail.” Cut the shit. I’m not here to make friends, tell me what you want then get the fuck out of my face.

Ume: I just want her to be happy. 

Sirius: [mirthless laughter] You’re going to meddle to the very end, aren’t you?

Ume: Whatever is necessary. 

Sirius: You’re a real piece of work, you know that? It’s not like we can just wave a magic wand and everything that happens just disappears.

Ume: Don’t you think I know that? I’m not saying that it’s going to be easy, but I don’t think you go to the lengths you did to get her the first time if you thought it was expendable.

Sirius: [sharp breath] Expendable… you know, I always knew my past would come back to bite me in the past… just not like this. I didn’t ask for any of this.

Ume: Consider this your fresh start.

Sirius: The world doesn’t work that way.

Ume: Sometimes it really does.

Ume: How long are you going to continue shutting her out?

Sirius: Forever, if I can.

Ume: Don’t you think that’s being a little harsh?

Sirius: This is a joke, right? [chuckle] Look at where we’ve ended up, Officer Hanakotoba. Or have you forgotten the role that you played in all of this?

Ume: You can’t punish her for my mistakes.

Sirius: Your mistakes? I think she made it pretty clear that day which one of us she considers to be expendable.

Ume: Do you honestly believe that?

Sirius:  You think I don’t know. 

Ume: Enlighten me. What is it that you think I’m hiding from you?

Sirius: I’ve gotta hand it to do you, you’ve got some real balls to think that I wouldn’t find out about you two.

Sirius: What exactly are you hoping to gain from this?

Ume: You don’t mess around, do you? I’m just hoping that you’ll hear me out.

Sirius: I’m pretty sure I don’t owe you anything of that nature.

Ume: Maybe not, but that’s not going to stop me from trying.

Sirius: Go on then. 

Guard: Just wait here and I’ll go get them.

Ume: Thanks. You’re a real pal.

Guard: Are… are you sure you want to go through with this? This case is such a mess and the boss will lose his shiitake if you mess it up any more.

Ume: Don’t worry. I’m here for more personal reasons.

Guard: Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of.

Ume: Trust me, okay? 

Guard: Alright, alright. Just don’t fudge anything up.
