Hold on for one more day

[Shimizu Susumu]

Not magically.
I am stressed out.

... I'm doing my best with what I have but I don't think this is something you or I can break.
On our own.
But I think I know who to go to.

[Alva Ren]

And you'll 100% take me with you, right?

[Shimizu Susumu]

...
You would probably have to be there, considering you're the one with the curse.

[Alva Ren]

Good

Because I would've stalked you anyway, if you'd tried to do this on your own. This town is only so big, you can't hide from me!

[Shimizu Susumu]

I'm not hiding from you.
Hiding things from you got us in this mess.

[Alva Ren]

Damn straight!

...but I know you were trying to protect me, Susu. I know you meant well. :)

[Shimizu Susumu]

You should know, none of this is going to be easy. And I don't have any guarantees that this... person will agree to help.

[Alva Ren]

Nothing's ever been easy. Putting on a pair of pants isn't even easy. Why should this stop me?

[Shimizu Susumu]

You're right. What am I worrying about?

[Alva Ren]

What you should really be worried about, Susumu, is
Your kneecaps

[Shimizu Susumu]

Oh? You're going to take me out now?

[Alva Ren]

Didn't I tell you, you're in trouble?!
My poor cousin got all turned around by that memory curse!!

[Shimizu Susumu]

Oh. Right. I do apologize. I'll try to make it up to him by setting things right with you.

[Alva Ren]

I think I can smooth it over with him, don't worry.
And maybe this time I'll spare your kneecaps... but only this time! Next time, WHAM
When you least expect it!

[Shimizu Susumu]

I'll be careful around you versus my kneecaps.
