Isla
"I think you need to expand your horizons," Isla informs him, and it's a shame that they can't continue on this vein of dry sass, because it's where they both seem to shine best for each other. Alas. It's not as though the Remedy doesn't see it coming, based on the conversations leading up to this point, and she's glad he's able to say it out loud instead of dancing around the subject. Does it hurt, though? Of course it does.
"I'm happy for the both of you," she says softly, because what kind of person wouldn't be happy for their friend? The insidious thoughts that want to gnaw at her insides have no place here; Isla will hone them sharp for later, when she's by herself. Swallowing and slipping her hand back out of the Flood's, she offers him an awkward sort of smile. "I suppose I should find myself somewhere else to stay in that case?"
She's sure Hotaru won't appreciate the mixed messages. (Speaking, of course, from experience).

sooner or later, we all have to wake
and try forgetting everything
