[Give her a minute or two but she does open the door, but she looks like a mess. She's wearing an oversized white tee and shorts. Her eyes are red and puffy, too.]

...Hey.

You shouldn't have to apologize for something that isn't your fault.

I don't know if it is going to be okay. Or rather... I feel like I'd just be convincing myself that I am, rather than being honest.

Maybe.

But this place feels... so empty, without them. And not only that - the person who understood me the most is gone, too. Even if I'll see him again, once I go home, it still... hurts.

I can't be hurting all the time, though.

[She has to 'get over it' at some point, after all.

At least... before Iris, anyway.]

I know I'm not going to have that much time, though.

It'd be easier on everyone.

I said 'everyone', didn't I?

I've lived in an empty apartment for a very long time now. It won't be any different.

[Except now it's larger and feels even more hollow.]

Besides, I'd be imposing... and it'd be awkward, I'm sure.

I know. But... it's better this way.

[She doesn't want to deal with being the potential awkward third wheel?]
