I have some... apologies to g-g-give out. They were a long time coming, but, well, Wonderland has always... N-No, I shouldn't blame it. This is my fault.

When we were suffering under that... s-s-sickness... that made the dead rise... I was infected, but I didn't tell anyone, because I was sure I could cure it. I told one person, but I made him promise not to tell. I won't say his name, it's the least I can do.

... I-I'm sorry that I became such a hazard.

I'm sorry that I made you keep the secret.

I'm sorry to the person who had to kill me.

I'm sorry that I was so useless... I'm sorry that I'm still useless. I'm sorry for being here. I'm sorry for bothering everyone this doesn't apply to. I'm sorry for bothering everyone in general. I'm so sorry...

... P-Please forgive me...

So that's how it turned out...

[Kaneki had lost track of Mikan at the end of the event. He looks a bit disappointed, but not in her. He just wishes things could have gone better.]

I appreciate you not telling anyone I knew.

[After he nearly got in a fight with Bucky, things could have gone a lot worse if that had gotten around as well.]

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for putting you in that position...

[itwouldbeatragedy]

P-please don't, Mikan-chan. You don't need to apologize to me.

[naughty_nurse]

It's the only thing I can do to make up for it!

[itwouldbeatragedy]

It's all over now. Rather than apologizing, just try to stay safe during the next event.

[naughty_nurse]

I-I'll try... I swear, it won't happen again!

[itwouldbeatragedy]

...I'm glad you're alright now, Mikan-chan.

[naughty_nurse]

... Really?

[She seems surprised by this.]

video; private

[itwouldbeatragedy]

I-is it that surprising?

video; private

[naughty_nurse]

Well... after all I put you through, you're... glad I'm okay?

[itwouldbeatragedy]

I don't really think it was your fault. Events put us all in difficult positions. If we hold grudges over it, we won't be able to live together peacefully in the long run.

...Besides, if there's anything I can do to help someone, I want to try, even if it puts me in a bad position.

... You're nice... you're so nice! You're the nicest person I've ever met!

[itwouldbeatragedy]

I-I'm sure that's not true.

video; private

[naughty_nurse]

It is! I m-mean it!

[itwouldbeatragedy]

Then...I hope you get to meet more good people from now on, Mikan-chan.

[ He's never met her but she seems so young and so sad that Robin can't help wanting to reach out and try to offer some words of comfort, perhaps. ]

I realize we haven't met before, but I don't like to hear anyone thinking they're a bother to people.

[naughty_nurse]

[It's a valiant effort, but...]

I'm sorry that you had to hear that! I'm sorry that I made you listen!

[alionsheart]

[ And he thought Regina had more self-loathing than anyone he's ever met. ]

Please, don't apologize, milady. I was hoping perhaps I could help, it was my choice to respond.

[ That seems...unlikely. ]

[naughty_nurse]

I-Is there anything I can do to make up for it? Y-You can draw on me if you want! Or cut my hair!

video;

[alionsheart]

Oh goodness, no. You don't need to trouble yourself with that and I certainly wouldn't...draw on you. You haven't done anything to warrant such treatment. [ There's obviously more going on here, though. ] Might I ask your name?

video;

[naughty_nurse]

I-I'm sorry I didn't give my name out before!

... M-My name is... Mikan Tsumiki. Despite my wrongdoing, I-I hope we can get along.

[alionsheart]

It's all right. [ He offers her a soft smile. ] I'm Robin Hood and it's a pleasure to meet you. Well, as much as any of us can meet one another over these devices.

video;

[naughty_nurse]

[Robin Hood... why does that sound vaguely familiar? Like something she heard from class? ... Ah, it can't be too important.]

W-well, I'm, sort of used to these things... They're like cell phones. And no one's tried to break mine yet!

video;

[alionsheart]

I've gotten the hang of them now but when I first arrived, these things were quite foreign to me. It's good yours has remained intact - they're useful, really, especially when you want to contact someone but can't always meet in person. Or don't want to.

video;

[naughty_nurse]

Y-yes, I agree... that way, my clumsiness doesn't ruin the conversation! Sometimes.

video;

[alionsheart]

We're all clumsy sometimes. It's nothing to worry about. [ He smiles softly. ] Do you have...anyone from your home here? Friends? [ He's asking because he's worried about her state of mind. ]

video;

[naughty_nurse]

[She shakes her head.]

I-I'm the only one from... um... my place, here. That's probably for the best. Th-that way... maybe, Wonderland will never recreate the things we went through.

video;

[alionsheart]

[ He's curious but he doesn't want to bring up bad memories or be impolite by asking too much. ]

I can imagine, depending on how troubled things might have been where you're from, Wonderland is an escape of sorts. Do you wish to return home or do you prefer it here?

video;

[naughty_nurse]

... I'm... well... I'm really not sure.

[alionsheart]

You know, I'm not always sure myself from day to day.
