Monika smiled sweetly, as if nothing had happened. Of course, this was all fake. But as far as fake smiles were concerned, hers was probably close enough to a genuine smile that it would be next to impossible to see she was faking it. Of, she wanted to cry and scream, but she would do so in an isolated place after she'd be done here.
"Well, you know what they say. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
The way she spoke, it was as if they were having the most casual discussion in the world, as if what had just happened had had no effects on her. She had carefully practiced what to do in case of rejection and she planned to play her part with perfection. If only for Ena's sake, so she wouldn't have to feel awful about all of this.
"Gosh, you must feel so uncomfortable. Sorry, I just really needed to get this off my chest. Even though you don't love me, I feel better now. It was probably like I said, a side effect of the Dream Width."
