Clearly, something is troubling you. I wish to help you in this, Yosuke. What is it?

[windbreak]

...I don't even know!

[And he doesn't mean to sound like he's snapping at her, but by the time he notices, it's a little late to stop blurting it.]

I can't say yes to him, I can't just say no... How am I supposed to know?

[damselled]

Well, what is he asking you to say yes to, exactly?

[windbreak]

[... Just as he'd been about to apologise for whining so much, he starts to feel a little less sorry. She's smarter than him, she can put two and two together...] Look, I don't really wanna say it... I'll get more confused than ever.

[damselled]

Yosuke, if you do not tell me, I shall figure it out anyway.

[Do you really want to play this game with her, Yosuke?]

[windbreak]

W-Well... Okay! You do that.

[Whoa, he never knew he could not want to say something fervently enough to stop them coming out. It hasn't exactly happened often before.]

...Then you might get it.

[A silence so thick you could cut it with a knife falls for a few moments. When she speaks again, however, Maribelle sounds hurt, rather than angry.]

Very well.

[And with that, she hangs up. Good luck with this one, Yosuke.]
