Uhhh... hey.
So this is gonna sound kinda weird, but I figure if anyone gets it, it's you; I know we fought last month and I'm supposed to be furious with you, but like. I legit don't even remember what we fought about? I can't remember what I was pissed over.
I just remember I said some hurtful shit and I thought I should maybe apologize for it. It can't have been over anything that important if I can't figure out what the fight was about anymore. So I'm sorry.
I hope we're cool... But I get it if we're not.

[Oh, it would have sounded really damned weird, if Reaper hadn't told her that she'd died, Vira hadn't known for a fact it was the second death, or if she hadn't talked to Max yesterday. She knew enough that it was still a little weird, but a lot less than it could have been.
But, instead of weird? It was intensely awkward. Not 'I jabbed you through the eye and now you're insisting on being my friend again' awkward, maybe, but oh way up there. She was pinching the bridge of her nose, trying to think about what to say, feeling the lingering hurt of that conversation bleeding away in just the insane, awkward moment going on here.]
Whatever we were arguing about, I forgive you. We both said some hurtful things to each other. I think it was pretty important at the time, Chloe, but I accept your apology. [Sigh] We're... uh... cool for the moment.
I think... how about we just accept that we were arguing because we both wanted the same thing really badly, and only one of us could have it. And we can both be temperamental, so it might come up again one of these days, but I still forgive you.
[Translation: She still wants to date your best friend who you totally don't remember right now, and she totally knows that might blow up in her face on day, depending on how things go.]

Why do you think you got the invite so early?
[ She lets out a sigh of relief, because she'd actually been worried about her telling her that it had been too important and that Chloe could piss off. ]
Sweet. I don't really like fighting with friends. I know I was in a... A really bad spot, even if the details are fuzzy, and I probably just took that out on you. Sometimes I do that. It's one of those inherent character flaws, I guess.
But thanks for understanding. Seriously.

I... don't like fighting with you either, Chloe. But I think this is as much my fault this time as yours, if not moreso. Still, let's not worry about it for the time being. Ok? We're... cool. Yes, we are cool.
[She sighed and smiled.]
Don't mind me. I'm awkward at this sort of thing.
[Who isn't awkward at making up with the amnesiac friend/former casual sexual partner you'd totally been trying to date the best friend/soulmate of because they don't remember any of that crap, Vira? Seriously, Jerry couldn't even come up with this stuff.]

Not really, no. If I think of something I'll let you know.
[Cheeky and playful eye wink with a suggestive mouth click]
[Around the evening of December 22nd, a delivery dog will make its way to her door, carrying a ribbon tied around a deep cookie tin. Attached will be a brief but heartfelt, handwritten note:]
"Dear Vira-Lorr,
Circumstances haven't really been on our side here, but I don't want the fact that my memory's been hacked to get in the way of us being friends. I'm glad we're able to start over.
<3,
Hunk"
[When she opens the tin, she'll find it lined with parchment paper and filled with stained glass cookies.]

Hunk,
We absolutely will have to make up for lost time with what we have, and don't you worry about it. Sadly, it's an experience many of us have had here, but it's a little bit of a joy to meet a fresh face anew most of the time.
The cookies are delicious by the way.
-Vira
[In truth? There were times when it wasn't so hot for someone to come back, and she had imaginings of ways it could be horrendous, but here? She was inclined to see the good in this. It was fun to meet again in a way.]

[ Delivered to Vira-Lorr is a package with the following:
โ a note: 'Happy Holidays!! I hope you have a relaxing time, and stay nice and warm through all the snow. โ Shinichi'
โ a candle & diffuser gift set
โ a smaller note reads Migi, attached to a little tin of raspberry blondies, well-made but definitely homemade. Migi's clearly been having fun with cooking. There's also a..... wooden G with a bunch of buttons and other shiny items glued to it. This.... is something Migi made out of things he's stolen and been hoarding up... ]

[You have been visited by Holy Mami!
She descends from the winter night sky, presents in hand. She has a smile on her face as she hands you a gift with a note attached.]
โThese were made with love especially for you! Merry Christmas!โ
[Before you have the chance to say anything though, sheโs gone! She has a lot of gifts to deliver and little time to do so!]
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!
[ Thereโs a gift box wrapped in purple wrapping paper with a darker purple bow on top. Inside is a nice bottle of bourbon and some pretty awesome glasses to drink them out of.
Thereโs also a small note attached to the box. ]
Merry Christmas!
Thereโs two glasses to make sure you donโt drink this shit alone.

[A day or two later, he'd get a note sent to him, complete with a holiday tin of 'cheese powdered popcorn.' It was supposed to be traditional the attendant had said. They were also on sale after christmas.]
Apologies for sending this late. The needles will be perfect for knitting a scarf. Also for stabbing. Never forget using them for stabbing.
