I know a little. [He admits, frowning. And then, to give her a little context:] Tech is my friend. We talked some.
[He knows they broke up. He knows Tech told him about her cheating. He knows that Monika told Tech that Yugi was one of the people Monika was cheating with while she was with Tech. He knows Tech was basically out of his mind with upset after it happened.
He doesn't know anything else.]
Actually, before you said it just now I didn't realize this was something that you wanted from... me. And I was never upset or uncomfortable with you before that. [Nothing outside of familiar teenage awkwardness anyway.] When we went shopping, I thought it was pretty fun, actually. You were pretty fun. It was nice getting to meet a new friend, and I was really happy for you when you found the pen you were looking for. You seemed happy about it, too.
[This isn't about him, so as much as he might be curious about what was going on in Monika's mind, he doesn't question it right now. He doesn't delve into anything further except the one thing he thinks he should:]
I hate to ask this, but did I do anything to...
[He makes a vague hand gesture as they walk, not even really sure what to call it - leading her on? It sounds wild even thinking something like that would apply to him. But if he did, the kind thing to do would be to avoid it in the future.]
