I'm not mad that you want to see your friend. I'm not mad that you were nervous about telling us, I'm proud of you for being honest now. The only thing that will make mom angry is you putting yourself in danger.

I do not want you to run halfway across the country in the dark, where you could have gotten lost, or hurt, and we wouldn't have known where to find you. You are not to do that again. You are also not to stay up all night and exhaust yourself, your work has been slipping lately because your body isn't getting enough rest. You won't be able to accomplish anything if you keep that up, no matter how much you try.

If you want to see Emi-chan, you will tell us, and we'll escort you to her house, understand?
