[The response that Elphelt gets may initially sound like radio static, as Satou is so confused and flustered that her mental voice falls apart. Gradually, mental stutters and squeaks begin melding into words:]
[Well, her daydream is ruined. The guy she was people-watching has rounded the corner, never to be seen again. She processes the voice and places it to one she has heard recently. She isn't one to forget anything about a person.]
M-Miss Kuroneko!? That wasn't...It isn't...! Not that I wouldn't, but...I can't go to jail for a forbidden romance!
[Pause.]
You're most likely older than me, so it's probably fine, actually...
[Double pause.]
--I mean, I didn't mean for you to hear that! Or any of this, now that I think about it. Hi, how are you?
I mean. Yes, I am okay. I'm out getting some fresh air and...well, you know! It's that time of year. The time where love and romance is in the air. It may have gotten the better of me.
Oh... Oh no, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that, I mean, uh--- Umm! You don't have to be single in spring! I just don't know your husband, uh-- I'm sure... you have...
[Satou can feel herself getting flustered again. She just wants to pretend this conversation never happened! Somehow, she needs to help Elphelt forget it too... Like a truce, or something, but a friend truce on feeling awkward!]
Maybe... Since we're both uh. You know. We should hang out. I mean, uh. If you're lonely, or you know, uh. If that's not weird...
[In more way than one. She would like to find her true love, but she is also the regular kind of lonely, too. Satou's women's intuition must be stronger than Elphelt expected to have sensed her loneliness.]
Would you really be okay with spending time with me, Miss Kuroneko?

no subject
[Satou's ears are burning hot from embarrassment, because yes. She did hear.]
I-I'm doing wonderfully! Yourself? Are you, um, okay?
no subject
[Take a few breaths, Elphelt. Settle down.]
I mean. Yes, I am okay. I'm out getting some fresh air and...well, you know! It's that time of year. The time where love and romance is in the air. It may have gotten the better of me.

[Oh wait. She'd said she hadn't heard anything---]
I mean, if you had one! I don't know, nope, n-no idea! N-nice weather!
no subject
[Why...did she say that...? What did Elphelt do to deserve such cruelty?]
--YOU'RE RIGHT I DON'T HAVE ONE. WHY DO I HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH SPRING AGAIN BEING SINGLE?!
no subject
[This conversation is going poorly, isn't it?]
Um! Are you busy?
no subject
[Asking if she's busy right after Satou turned her down...? Elphelt isn't sure how to take these mixed signals.]
Why do you ask...?
