I don't know exactly what happened, obviously. So I don't know if he was being vague or not, or if you really misunderstood. That's between you and him. Do you think you misunderstood, or do you think it was miscommunication on both sides?

Then, it was your fault for misunderstanding his words. It's something you have to be mindful of in the future. That doesn't make the heartbreak less painful. I'd say they're unrelated things.
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
I'm not going to recommend this all the time. You should still make sure to not overwork yourself. But for heartbreak...mm, having something to focus on can at least keep your mind off of it. Deep cleaning the barn only works for so long, but it can keep your mind elsewhere for a day or two. After that...well, we could always try ice cream and movies.
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
I think you're supposed to watch movies and binge eat ice cream with some girls your age while you complain about how boys are all stupid. But it'd be hard to find anyone free on short notice. So if you're fine settling with me, I'd be happy to join you.
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
There's Lyra and Sonata. And Caster looks around your age...as well as Miss Apothecary. And Mute might count, I bet they'd at least enjoy a movie night. Even if you don't do it now, a movie night might be nice for all of them to unwind.
[he's nodding along anyways, though]
It sounds fun! I'm in. Pick whatever movie you'd like.
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
You already asked me and I said yes. If you pick a time that isn't good for me then I'll say so, but most of the things I'm working on are flexible. I doubt it'll be a problem.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
Like I said. Friends can still kick each other's butts. Even if you're close, don't feel like that should hold you back from getting in a few hits.
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
He does love me... just... not the way I want him to. That's not his fault, it's mine.
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
But my misunderstanding of his words.... that surely is my fault.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
[ (he's right, the words were literally "I love you more than anything in this world") ]
Yes, of course. I'll be more careful in the future....
I wish it did make it less painful....

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
Yes, I have been trying... to keep myself occupied... there's always something to do.
[ but baw. she looks touched ]
You would like to eat ice cream and watch movies with me...?

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
... But it wouldn't be settling.... I think I'd enjoy doing it with you.... ah, if that's something you would enjoy as well...

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
[ whereas lethe inserts himself there ]
I shall see what's on at the theater... and let you know. But, ah, please don't feel obligated.... if you have other things you'd rather be doing...
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
W-Well... if, ah, you decide you have other things to do... that's alright.. so just let me know if you change your mind....
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
Don't worry about it so much. It sounds nice, it's not like it would be a pain for me to do.
Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game
[ despite that, the hair ruffles do feel kind of nice. ]
[ her hair is so fluffy too ]
In that case.... I'd be glad to do it with you.
