[A standard pre-recorded message starts:]

Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system. [There are a few long moments of dead silence before someone draws a breath speaks in a stiff, uncomfortable tone:] Himura Tomoe... [and another long few seconds of silence where she apparently didn't realize how to stop the recording.] is not available. At the tone, please record your message. When you have finished recording, you may hang up or press one for more options. To leave a callback number, press five.

[ if he knew many more things, that would have been the problem. why love someone who has failed her considerably and still upsets her with his idiocy?

to him, no one's a better version of someone else. what he feels for sei and constance is different, only constance achieved the impossible by making him fall for her greatly and want to marry. however, what he could see was how the spitefulness consumed this woman's heart, and constance's heart isn't tarnished with mean thoughts. as much as souji cares for tomoe, such mean thoughts he discerned in her and how he must have loved a different tomoe are the reasons why anything else can't happen.

it's not wise, it's unhealthy, it's unfair. and yet, he can't help not caring, not worrying, not giving her some of that love that was there once like this. ]

It's alright, Tomoe-san...

[ and of course, he doesn't resist as she breaks the contact between them, his expression reflects the grief and shame of the proposition. with a step behind and eyes closed, he lowers his head in a bow and turns to leave, maybe expecting she will stop him from going, but he rather go to constance if asked to stay.

this was probably a mistake. ]

[She doesn't stop him, keeping her eyes down as he backs away. She hugs herself and lifts a hand to cover her mouth as the weight of everything settles more on her... and steps back inside the room, closing the door with a small click.]
