[ he would rather not talk about it at all, but he understands that these things are necessary if one wishes to maintain a stable relationship. zodion had a habit of making such hurdles appear every now and then. ]
Still, saying that, I'll be grateful you don't hold me at fault. [She may not necessarily agree with the choice, though she'll respect it if it's his.] I hope not too many... bad feelings linger.
[He's not really "making it better" by saying that (and not that he actually should)-- If anything, his words make Maya believe the situation could be worse than she first expected. That it's possible he does have lingering, bad feelings there and they're far too worse to be cured by any simple message sent through text.
She would seek to blame herself for the ones she was responsible for, of course.]
while i appreciate the sincere apologies miss amano it is not necessary to worry about what transpired the other day.
[ it's like that & it isn't at the same time. but shouichi is rather pro at stuffing feelings away in an effort to function as best he can. their little incident is merely icing on top of his regret cake. ]
[She thinks of it as a non-issue... but then again, there's really no harm in being a tad more honest with people, is there? Maya is beginning to learn this.]
Yes, pretty much. I'm still a little off balance about what happened, though I guess that's only natural.
my only concern is that my actions have changed your opinion of me in a negative manner. i believe it is quite normal to feel a bit out of sorts after such an event, however.
clear lines of communication help immensely even if they may feel uncomfortable
You don't have to be concerned. Of course I don't think of you negatively-- you couldn't control a lot of what you did, and some of it was a response to me.
Well, I wanted to talk to you again about the very first thing we ever talked about together, I guess. You know. When we first met each other over the network.

i forget that you don't know me very well.
[ there were more bad feelings than he knew what to do with, but really, that seemed to be the norm. there was no sense in blaming maya for it. ]
