goes to visit him. Without her frying pan of course.

she's the last person he wants to see.

remembered to bring the white dye before arriving at his house. She presses the doorbell.

does not answer.

looks through the window to see if anyone is at home.

covered up in his bed, hiding from the world.

tries the backdoor. Surprisingly, it is not locked and enters the house.

locked in his room though.

looks around the house and sees a suspicious room with a closed door. She tries to turn the doorknob.

hears it. He tries to ignore it.

attempts it again. "Gilbert are you in there?"

does not answer.

knows that he is inside. That is the only door locked out of all the rooms. She pretends to walk away but is still waiting outside the room.

not coming out of his room.

the urge to barge into the room but stops herself. "Gilbert?"

no answer still.

"I know you are in there. Will you please answer?"

ignoring her.

"I brought the white dye here too!"

finally answers. "Don't need it."

standing in front of the door. "So you want your hair to be black forever?"

| "It'll be black till it grows out."

| "At least having a white dye is better than a black one!"

huffs! "My hair shouldn't be black to begin with! Just...go home. I don't want to see you."

that it is unfair. He keeps popping by her house and is not allowed to see him when she wants to? "Why can't I see you?"

she only wants to see him when somethings wrong. He at least went to see her on his free time. "I wonder.."

that he only visits her when he is bored. "What do you mean?"

at least thinks about her. "You're only here to fix my hair. No other reason."

corrects him. "I'm here because I am concerned for you too!"

| "I'm fine."

| "No you are not. Why have you locked yourself in the room then?"

| "None of your business."

| "If this was none of my business, I wouldn't be here with a white dye trying to make up to you!"

quiet for a minute before replying. "You wouldn't have to make it up to me if you didn't do it to begin with. Trying to fix your mistake_

isn't making it up to me."

| "The whole thing would not have happened if you had stop irritating me for years!"

scowls. She didn't get it at all. He wanted her attention and she just ignored him if he wasn't bothering her. "Just forget it."

not been ignoring him. That guy just disappears when he does not drop by. "What?"

always by himself. He was not too hard to find. "Just. Forget it."

cannot find him since he is always alone. "Just. Open the door."

how hard she looks. "I don't want to."

looks for him whenever she is free. Unlike him, she has a country to look after!

"Why?"

| "It's unimportant."

shifts around. "Look, I'm sorry okay? I will come to visit you at least once every other day alright?"

frowns at that. "Why try so hard?"

| "Because I am trying to make up for what you had tried so hard for the past few centuries!"

| "Can't I do that?"

pursed his lips. "Why now?"

| "You mean you want it to be later?"

| "No, but it's sudden."

frowns. "Then how slow you want it to be?"

shakes his head, though she couldn't see. "Nevermind."

| "Hey! You can't keep saying 'nevermind'! Just explain so that both sides will not misunderstand each other!"

opens the door after a moment. "..."

looks at his outstanding hair, then him. Though his eyes are red, he looks as though he had been crying all night. Looking at his sorry_

state, she hugged him. "I'm terribly sorry!"

stares at her before grinning. "Was that so hard?"

backs off and looks away. "Of course!"

just wanted her to say sorry. Not make it up to him. He reaches out to pat her head.

widens her eyes before looking away again. "W-what are you doing?"

laughs at her. "Kesese! Patting you."

unexpectedly likes it. "L-let's dye your hair back, shall we?" She shows him the packet of dye.

shakes his head. "Nah, I will try to live with it like this."

pouts. "But I have already bought it! Don't waste my money!"

grins at her. "Let me dye your hair~"

backs away. "No way! Since your hair is already dyed, let's just change back the colour!"

's grin widens. "Oh come on!"

no choice, or does she? Her soft, natural long hair, to be ruined by the dye? "I s-suppose so, just part of it won't hurt."

just teasing her. "I wouldn't make ya do that."

heaves a sigh of relief. "So are you going to make your hair white again?" She waves the dye in front of him.

waves it off. "I said it's fine like it is. It might be interesting to try and have it black a while."

frowns. It will be a living evidence on what she had done. "Please?"

pokes her nose. "I won't tell anyone."

slaps his hand away, still not being used to be kinder to him. "Stop that."

amused. "Heh. Stop what?"

glowers. "That. You have just wasted some of my money too."

| "You can return it!"

for a while. "At least I can exchange it for something else.."

nods. "See, not a waste."

| "Do you want anything? I can exchange this for whatever you want there."

hums a bit. "Something to eat!"

happy that he has cheered up. "Do you want to go out now with me to the shop?"

about this for a moment. "Ja, I could use a bit of fresh air I suppose."

happily skips out of the house. "Then let's go!" She pulls him out of his house, just in case he locks her out instead.

why she is so happy. He lets her tug hiim though.

happy that he is not that mad at her, for now. She enters the mini mart. "Go look for something that you want while I ask the counter if I _

_can exchange the dye for something else." She instructs Gilbert before approaching the counter.
