[It is Valentine's and Sayo shows up on the screen. Hopefully, she's doing fine after the past few days of weirdness. Maybe the chocolates would make her feel better?]

Veronica-san?

Sayo!

[She's hoping he's been doing okay. She'd just spent the past few days being unable to see blue (all the empty hangers in her closet and the weird eye-aching emptiness of the sky had been a good enough indication) and then eventually she'd ended up looking into her mirror and not even seeing her own eyes. That had been very strange.

But nonetheless, she was glad to see him and it shows in her expression when she smiles at him.]

I can see you. Is everything alright? Are you hurt?

[He can feel something like a sense of relief when he saw her. She seems to be okay and in one piece. He blinks, before he shakes his head.]

No, I'm not hurt. I'm alright. [Even though it was scary when he started to disappear.] Are you alright?

[He didn't know what might happened to her. He saw the reports on the network and wondered if she had one of those strange afflictions as well.]

I am glad to hear that. I was unable to see anything blue for a few days, which was very strange but I am alright, as well.

[Since he's blue-haired and she can see him just fine now.]

Has anything like that happened to you, too? [That had happened a lot all over the network, right?]

You can't see anything blue for a few days...?

[He looks down at himself, trying to imagine that. Would she see his body and non-blue clothes? Would he appear bald to her? What about his eyes?

He looks back at the screen and nods.]

Yes. I was feeling very cold, even if I wear a lot of warm clothes. And... I keep on turning invisible.

Yes, so I am very happy to see you. [She suspected that he would have been completely invisible to her.]

And that is a terrible thing. Has it stopped? I wonder why it was happening?

I don't know... but I'm glad it stopped. [So many swords were affected by it?!] ...Because it was terrible, I want to know if you're not busy right now.

I am not busy.

[She doesn't even hesitate.]

What can I do for you? How can I help?

[Ah, good.]

I got something for you. Can we meet?

[Now that he thinks about it, he doesn't know where she lives. Probably at her place, or somewhere like a park or cafe...]

Of course!

Where? What is it?

It's... a surprise.

... How about we meet at Thistle Do Nicely? [The same place they made those chocolate... It's the first place he think of that both of them would know.]

I see. Then I look forward to finding out what it is.

When would you like to meet?

[Because she's ready to leave whenever.]

... Soon, if you don't mind. [Um.] Maybe right now?

RIght now is alright. I will be there as quickly as I can.

[She just needs to put on her coat and shoes first, but she's out the door in a couple of minutes.]

Okay, I'll see you there.

[And after he turns off the video, Sayo put on his shoes and head out the door for the cafe. In his hands is a bag of chocolates he made.

Whenever he get there, he looks around for Veronica.]

[She arrives only a bit after he does, immediately looking around for him and catching sight of his hair first and foremost.]

Sayo?

[What was he carrying?]

[He looks over and easily spots her. Sayo quickly runs over towards her and stop in front of Veronica.]

Veronica-san.

[Now that he's in front of her, she would be able to see the small bag in his hands.]

Hello. [She gives him a smile, looking over him carefully to make sure he hasn't been hurt before she asks about the bag.]

What is it that you are carrying?

[Fortunately, Sayo doesn't have any new injuries. There's that bandaid on his face, but Sayo always have it on.]

... It's a gift. [He looks down at it, before looking at Veronica and holds the bag out to her.] Happy Valentine's.

[Veronica looks down at the gift, momentarily surprised before looking back at him with a warm smile as she receives the bag with both hands.]

Thank you very much! A very Happy Valentine's Day to you too. May I open it?

[He nods, watching her reactions carefully.]

Yes, you can... and you can have them right now, too.[ Well, "eat".]

Have them?

[She opens it, looking down at the chocolates with a smile (whatever shape they are in, what counts most to her is that he took the time and the thought to give them to her).]

You were able to make them, then. They are lovely, thank you. [And since he said she could have one, she selects a piece and puts it in her mouth.]

You're welcomed. I gave them to you because you're... nice and helped me before.

[When she tastes them, the chocolates are both edible and delicious! Sayo is waiting for her opinion, nervously and fidgety.]

[Veronica's smile brightens because the chocolate really is good. He seems to be waiting though, so she answers as soon as she finishes swallowing.]

It is very delicious. Thank you.

[She is going to write him a thank-you note as soon as she gets back.]

[He gives her something like a small, relieved smile. He knows he worked hard on them, but hearing her words is a relief.]

I'm glad... I worked hard on them.

[To make the chocolates for people he want to give out, including her.]
