[Rinten: It's my religious duty to provoke you into doing things that are uncanny for your taste. Now, now… we wouldn't want you on television… I can see the headlines… millionaire combusts from over stimulation. I wouldn't want to find out who you are that way, fortunately. I am kind, you see.]

  She giggled as she typed. She had taken a couple of days to get back to him, mainly relying on Qchat to ask him how he was doing. It seemed that he was having a hard time and needed some escape. He specifically asked her to continue messaging him, otherwise, he would succumb to the bad thoughts he had been having recently. He sounded so lonely that she couldn't refuse him.

  [Did you search? The adult toys industry has grown leaps and bounds in recent years, making it a sin to say that one can't pleasure themselves. How did you find my little collection? I can tell you that the list was just the tip of the iceberg. How cocky of you, to think that you could be more impressive than those toys. You will have to prove your worth to me, I suppose. I won't believe otherwise. The idea of pleasure denial makes me shudder with delight. Why, as a matter of fact, I do keep my box of toys under my bed. Would you like me to take them out and show you?]

  This was the only way she could provide some solace to him. In the recent mails, he sounded a little distant, and it bothered Katherine to a degree. But she also understood that he was going through real-life problems that she couldn't solve in his stead.

  [*sips on glass of water* Deviant disease? What are my symptoms? How do I cure it? Surely, I am not dying from this. You might be sexy, but you can't kill me, I promise you.]

  Should she begin drinking more water? It didn't seem good to always be wet. What doctor should she consult for being horny all the time?

  [Oh, I would love to scream your name. Quite frankly, I am dissatisfied with how popular you are. I did say I was into the lonely guys back in the day, right? If you are that popular, I will have to leave you. And of course, I have my fantasies… not all of them should be revealed so early in our friendship. I expect you to look however you look. I might be a lusty person, but I don't choose my friends according to how they look. Somehow they just are very attractive. Maybe I attract attractive people? Should I think of this as a quality?]

  'How could I ever think about someone else when referring to you? Blasphemous.'

  [The fact that we both can concede that Ahegao is our final destination is a treat to my mind. I am holding on, but I wonder how long it will have to be.]

  At least they had the same jokes when it came to hentai. That was saying something. Truly soulmates, these two.

  [Now that you say it, I don't want to have a daddy kink. I remember my moustached father and feel weird thinking about calling someone else daddy. I do want to be taken care of. Don't I give off the forever alone vibes? I would like to work under daddy. Being under daddy is warm and exciting.]

  She didn't know what was up with them but they were perverts at heart. Nothing could stop them from being lechers when it came to one another.

  [I know you are going through a rough time. I can see that you are distancing yourself from me a little bit, but I can understand how hard it must be for you to pretend like you are okay even when you are not. Is she still latching onto you? Do you want me to take care of her? Ruin her face or something. I hope that could make you feel good. Amazing. You stand up for yourself and put on a strong front. It's my job to be the voice of reason. Ask me any time you need help, okay?]

  'If you can't stand up against it alone, I will be there with you, Ray.'

  [I suppose I am cynical for thinking the worst of people. But what you said also makes sense. We can learn and evolve, but our fundamental nature doesn't change. If one was deceptive, they will not turn truthful suddenly. Don't be defensive. You are popular. I will still take you.]

  'If it were you, I would give you a second chance. You must be my weakness, because I can't seem to think of anything else but for you to stay in my life. Is it too crazy? Is it too early?'

  [I am sure you smell perfectly pleasant and manly. No amount of lotion can do away with it. I wonder if you smell like me, now. What lotion had you been using all this time?]

  'Maybe we could smell the same in the future.'

  [I wouldn't have revealed my fantasy if it were for someone else. I would love to know, and I am sure, you will tell m anyway. I look forward to it.]

  [Your words did inexplicable things. I don't know what to tell you apart from the fact that I am dripping down my thighs and unable to go out of the room. What monster have you turned me into?]

  Talking to him would surely turn her into a sex maniac who craved it all the time. She couldn't find a way to escape this, either… not that she wanted to——
