[Namely that any degree of being honest about romantic feelings would require admitting to being Kanon, which was something Sayo was slowly working her way up to but definitely wasn't ready to spill her guts about yet.]
[ She can get that. It's not like the other expected Jessica to turn up here. Ange didn't expect it either. And even aside from that, she's sure Jessica has enough to process at the moment to begin with. ]
I was just wondering if you're even considering it for way later down the road. [ Or just not at all. ]
[ If there's anything Ange has learned in this place, it's that. After all, her own circumstances turned around pretty much entirely after she had been out of her own toxic world for long enough.
Granted, it's not like she's thinking of the exact reason as to why Sayo is furniture as Sayo herself is - but that's exactly why she's saying this. Because she believes it to be true from her point of view. ]
You'd be surprised. There are possibilities in this place far beyond what you can imagine.
[But nothing will change Sayo's wretched, shabby shell. Nothing will change that she stole Ange's future away from her, burning it to ashes in the flame of her own despair.]
Thank you, Ange-san.
I'll try to keep it in mind. You're... a fantastic friend.
[But she can't know that. Not now not yet even though she should-]
Sheesh, words like that definitely feel like too much. It's like even having been away from her world for as long as she has can't make Ange quite used to hearing any sort of praise, rather than constant insults. ]
That's going too far. I'm just saying what anyone would say.
[ Or so she thinks, at least. ]
Just be glad with Jessica onee-chan's company. Enjoy it. I'm sure you're happy that she's here now, so just let yourself indulge in that, even aside from.. [ - you know - ] .. more complicated feelings.
Right! Right. If nothing else, I'm glad to see her again.
[Sometimes, Sayo doesn't have perfect control over her empathic bond with Ange. Such as at the current juncture. Since Ange can clearly tell that right now, more than anything else, Sayo wants to kiss Jessica on the lips extremely badly and is only barely restraining that impulse.]
There's a few moments where Ange tries really hard to decide whether to bring it up or not. It's doubtlessly going to embarrass the other, but on the other hand, if Ange has to endure this for too long, she might just die.
So even though it's about five minutes later, another message arrives. ]
Please just either kiss her or stop broadcasting that so intensely.
[There's the sound of a surprised, embarrassed squeak somewhere in the household, followed by Sayo tripping, falling, and landing flat on her face with the shock.
Some days, the clumsy maid isn't an act.
At least the emotion dwindles and vanishes as she works to suppress it so that Ange isn't subjected it for a single second longer than she has to be. A few moments after, a single message is sent:]
[ Honestly, Ange is already relieved enough when that sensation disappears from her mind. It'd already be awkward enough in general, but the fact that it's directed so clearly towards her cousin..
Well, that makes it doubly awkward.
(And even more awkward in ways Ange doesn't even quite realise yet. Just wait until those hit you later on, girl.) ]

I'm furniture. There are so many reasons why it would never work.

There's a brief pause where Ange contemplates it before she sends back: ]
Even here?
It's not like aunt Natsuhi or anyone else is breathing down your neck here.

Even if I'm not a servant, I'm still furniture.
That's just the way it is.

i'm so sorry, ange-san
yes, here we go!

Thanks. It's okay now.
