[The message is simple enough, scrawled out in big letters for easy reading. Not that it'd be hard to read anyway, it's only two words.]

I'M SORRY

[It's not addressed to anyone, however, and it looks like someone doesn't know how to private anything.

So everyone can get it instead.

Because bears are generous creatures.]

[The BIGGEST sigh of relief.]

Phew, that's good at least. Sorry...again, but that first sorry wasn't really meant for you. ...Unless you want it to be, I don't mind. I can make more sorries until I'm blue in the face.

It's alright. I thought you were guilty about that cake thing but that's really not something you should apologize for.

[Pauses. God he should probably at least talk to him about this since he responded.]

So who were you apologizing to?

[Note to self: Cake thing.]

I dunno if you know him, but I wouldn't be surprise if you did. He's pretty good about making everyone's lives all better.

He was my Sensei.

[Well Marty has zero idea who this "Sensei" guy is, but he seems like a nice guy, he guesses.]

... What happened then? If you don't mind.

I made him run away. I guess I should've listened to you more, I never realized what a big dumb pain I was.

[Are you happy now, Marty?]

[Why is it all the sudden his fault?!

That does sound kind of weird though. If this guy was so important to Teddie, then it would be weird that they would run away just because Teddie was being a "big dumb pain"~~, especially that seems to be his default personality~~.]

Teddie I don't think you're a pain. [A little annoying, but...] Are you sure you made him "run away"?

He yelled at me and walked out the door, I don't know what else you'd call that.

[He's not trying to be a smart ass, he just genuinely doesn't know if there's another word for something like that. Still learning and all that jazz.]

Has he been acting differently? Maybe something happened to him that made him lash out.

[Because geez, something seriously bad must have happened to this guy to make him yell at Teddie and run away.]

He started acting all weird after I made a big mess in the kitchen. It's been downhill ever since. I tried, I really did, Marty.

[But it always ended the same. Yu walked away.]

I'm sure this isn't your fault. I don't know much about him, but it sounds like he had other issues going on and didn't want to talk about them.

[Darn, he wished he knew more about this guy since now he's just guessing what probably happened.]

[Wow Marty, it's almost like you hit the nail on the head. Too bad Teddie's too wrapped up in hero worship to believe that's even possible.]

Sensei wouldn't do that, he's always talked to us when something's up.

[Well you know Marty, he's the king of making things up and it somehow working.]

Maybe he thinks that you'll be safer if he doesn't tell you about it? I don't know much about the situation, but...

[It's like Marty's the main character of a popular 80s movie or something...]

I guess I just don't get it.

But then again, he did tell me to start thinking for myself. I guess I really am stupid...

You're not stupid. It would hurt anyone if their best friend just yelled at them one day.

...Why are you being all nice to me all the sudden?

Was I ever not nice to you? [... Okay maybe that's not the best thing to ask right now.]

I just thought it's about time I should pay you back for that one night. Besides, I learned that you became friends with Doc and I don't think he'd appreciate it if I was rude to you.

[Not that he was rude to Teddie before.]

[Yeah, sure, Marty's neeeever rude.]

Get outta town! You know that Doc guy?! Isn't he the coolest grandpa ever?! He's all "I wear bright colors and I don't even care what you think!" That takes a lotta guts, most people aren't so daring.

[WELL, that turned his mood around.]

[Huh, he should mention Doc more often.]

Yeah, we're actually great friends back where I'm from.

[He's not calling him a grandpa though. That's just weird.]

[Every older gentleman is a grandpa to Teddie. No one's ever taught him how that actually...works.]

No way, I never would've guessed...

Mostly 'cause he likes my ideas way more than you do.

I just didn't like one of your ideas, Teddie. [That's a completely different thing.

Still, it's not the worst reason why someone thought that their relationship was weird.]

But yeah, Doc seems to really like you.

[Hearing that brightens Teddie instantly...only to have him crash back down again. After everything with Yu, Teddie isn't feeling so likable lately.]

I like him a lot, too. I don't really have a whole lot of grown up friends...

[And Marty notices that. Crap he was doing so well too.]

Hey, if you want, I can ask Doc if you want to hang out with us sometime and help build stuff.

You...You'd really do that? You...want me to hang out with you guys?

[He doesn't want to be the third bear-shaped wheel or anything...]

Sure, we both like you after all and Doc needs more friends anyway.

[Sorry Doc.]

[Even though it's audio, you can definitely hear the tears in his voice.]

T-Thank you, Marty!
