Well, this...

It's certainly a very clean cut.

Yes, and I'm below my target weight already!

I'm sorry, Alice.

You've been working so hard for my sake...

It's fine. I'm getting more than enough repayment.

But really, you seem more cheerful than I expected. I'm relieved.

Cheerful, she says...

Honestly, that's not the case...

That's awfully tasteless of you.
