[ pretty sure we said beau and huaisang are attached by the hand so I'm going with that. she'll just lead him outside. she also almost doesn't stop when akira tries to get her attention, but.
[ she wishes she could fold her arms, but she cannot, because she'd just yank huaisang like, into her. instead, she shoves her free hand in her pocket. ]
I'm sorry for starting an argument with you. I can't apologize for the way that I feel, but I really didn't mean to call you a jerk or. . . well. You know.
[he said that already but just so she knows!!]
You shouldn't apologize for how you feel, either. And we shouldn't be arguing. I want to be optimistic, but-- [a helpless little shrug]
It's fine. [ she says, but it's less aggro. ] You're not a fucking idiot, don't put yourself down to massage my ego. Look, I get touchy about shit like that. It's not your fault.

Maybe out of the two of us, I'm the idiot.
