Wait, We Can Talk This Out

I was bawling my eyes out when I noticed Tsubaki had appeared in the underground laboratory, pulling Williams along by the hand.

Upon seeing me, Tsubaki's eyes went wide and she came running straight over.

Then she launched herself at me and started thoroughly licking my face, which was covered in tears and snot.

"Mimimimimimi, mimimimi...!"

"Abubububububu, bubububu...!"

Tsubaki whined worriedly as she licked my face all over.

It was just like dogs and cats licking their companions to care for them.

T-Tsubaki, wait, Tsubaki.

Thanks for worrying about me. But now that you've licked off my tears and snot, I'm sticky with drool.

"H-Hey, Tsubaki, abubububu, it's okay, it's okay. I've stopped crying. Bweh—it's okay, you can stop."...
