"Well, remember when I replied to your email with that weird phrasing? I was being a bit paranoid that the hacker could read our emails, but anyways that's not the point. I had sent an email to Angelo talking to him about getting more info on the hacker, and I specifically asked him not to forward the message to you, for what little help I thought you could bring. Apparently, it may have influenced whatever he decided with you this afternoon, though I can't assume much since you talked privately with him over the cable. And yes, the "boy festival" was just a synonym for excluding you from possibly helping us. But honestly, if Angelo had wanted you to stay, I could have done nothing to stop you two. I was thinking this over in my head even after you left the tutor center, and when I messaged you today I was still talking with Angelo. So really, I should be apologizing for refusing to cooperate with you, and at least setting aside our differences so we can help each other. The, uh, relationship jokes were just me making fun of you, and in fact I'm sort of jealous of Angelo and you, as a Guardian and Protoge pair; my Guardian left me soon after he gave me the Brain Burst game. Still, I'm just curious as to why Angelo would agree with me and not you when it came to dealing with the hacker; if I were in your position, I'd still try to help Angelo even if he didn't need it."
