Dia steps back, but Mari just steps closer. She can feel herself fidgeting, still overcome with nerves; there's really not an easy way to say it, just because there are so many different ways she can react here...and, it might as well be proven now that she's not the best at predicting her reactions. It's so much easier to just keep it lighthearted...but the time for that has long passed, and she doesn't have any more time to beat around the bush without Dia getting mad, and--
"You told me...you said the theme was to write about a one-sided love. So, that's what I wrote about. I thought you would just...take it as a joke, like all of the other times."
There. It's...it's a start.
"But I'm serious, now. No jokes, no games. No ridiculous smiley faces. Not right now. For you, I'm being honest, okay?"
