Altair: Serious time is over. Let’s go kick their butts.

Clover: Oh they so don’t know what they’re in for.

[both laugh]

Clover: You know what I think?

Altair: Oh berry… here it comes.

Clover: I think you’re using Ume as an excuse because you’re too stubborn to admit what you really want.

Altair: That’s the most ridiciulo–

Clover: Altair, please. You don’t move to a completely different country to be with someone if you expect that to be temporary. So what gives? What are you so afraid of?

Altair: [hesitant] It’s complicated… really fudging complicated. Sirius has…not the greatest past.

Clover: Oh fudge. Are you kidding me? I knew he seemed too perfect.

Altair: [small laugh] While I know he isn’t the person that did those things… that he doesn’t change the fact that they happened… and I’m scared, Clover. I’m scared that one day it’s all going to come back and he’s just going to be gone. I’ve done that once already. I don’t want to go through with it again.

Clover: Berry, Altair. Are you sure that’s something you want to risk happening?

Altair: … That’s what I keep asking myself… but here I am… living in Walnutburg like a fudging idiot.

Clover: That’s a lot to take in.

Altair: You’re telling me.

Clover: You know I’m here for you no matter what, right? I just want you to be happy.

Altair: I know. I love you, Clove.

Clover: I love you too.

Clover: Are you done now?

Altair: Rude, Clover.

Clover: What would be rude is if I just let you sit here and have a meltdown, get yourself worked up even more, and then attempt to go back with everyone.

Altair: … I don’t–

Clover: [stern] Sit down, Altair.

Altair: Okay, okay. Geeze.

Clover: I know your emotions are kind of all over the place right now, but can we actually think about all of this for a second?

Altair: … I-I don’t know. I don’t really know. I started this whole… whatever this is with Sirius thinking it would be easy to just leave anytime. It would be just a fling and that someday I would get over being mad at Ume and everything would just… I don’t know? Get back to normal?

Clover: Wow Altair. Do you realize how fudged up that sounds?

Altair: Ugh. I know, I know. Obviously, it didn’t work out that way. Things changed and I don’t know… I just kept getting closer and closer to Sirius. I thought I was over Ume… but then he called me and we talked… and I’m such an idiot. It brought back all of those feelings that I had for him for years.

Clover: Oh geeze… I had no idea you two had even talked.

Altair: Then before I can even process it all… here he is with his with Aster… who is gorgeous… and absolutely perfect… and I am just this big fudging mess that doesn’t even know what I want in life anymore.

Altair: [scrunches nose] What’s that supposed to mean?

Clover: I just mean… you both don’t really share much about your private lives. Even to your best friend, you big berryhole.

Altair: Ugh. You know I wasn’t trying to keep Sirius from you.

Clover: You sure as heck had me fooled. You two have been together for what? Three years now and I’m just now meeting the guy?

Altair: When you put it like that it sounds really bad.

Clover: Uh, yeah. It is.

Altair: I don’t know. When we started seeing each other I figured we had an expiration date. I keep telling myself that this is only temporary.

Clover: Do you really want it to be?

Clover: Come on, Altair. Calling your feelings stupid doesn’t make them go away.

Altair: I know I shouldn’t be upset, but I am.

Clover: You shouldn’t beat yourself up about it, Tair. It’s hard to see someone you were so close to being with someone else. I mean, you guys spent years together.

Altair: I just feel blindsided. I wish would have known beforehand so I could mentally prepare myself.

Clover: None of us even knew anything about her. I knew he was coming… but I didn’t even know he was seeing someone. I guess you two are a lot alike in that regard.
