[That tall, dark haired wall was keeping herself under control for one simple reason. She didn't want to make things worse in any way. She isn't a mind reader, though, so doesn't realize how her efforts are having the opposite effect.]

I definitely do expect too much from myself. I don't want to make this conversation about me, but allow me to say this one thing. Everyone in my family is successful in what they do. If I am going to a Dreamer at all, I will be an exceptional one that does good for other people. That is why I regret not being here to help. Next time, please try not to schedule while I am out of town.

[She lets her carefully controlled mask soften just a little, a faint smile touching her lips. She is allowed bad jokes, too.]

But, Lisa-san, you are definitely not overstaying your welcome. This apartment felt so large and empty living by myself. I see my sister and niece every now and then, but other then that I used to come home to a place where I had only my television, computer, and phone to keep me company. I don't feel any regrets at all for sharing this space with you. We did not speak very often. But simply knowing I was not entirely alone was comforting.

[The handholding is, of course, noticed, but she politely does not stare. She does, however, give Junna a nod.]

I know its probably hard to believe, but that is correct. I had...well, let us say various reasons for keeping it a secret before, but I already said I don't want to make this conversation about me. You don't need my worries heaped on top of your own. I will tell you about her another time.

[Her little smile becomes a full on grin.]

Just know that GGO's infamous 'Pink Devil' is on your side and will give you the help you need, in and out of the Dream Sphere.
