[ His apartment... had he been staying there with Mabel? It strikes Yu he didn't actually know what Dipper's living situation was. Was he ... living alone now? But he's so young... ]
Rei-san is an incredible person. I'm sure she and her friends are looking out for you. Will you go back to your apartment, after this? You could always find another place to live.
[ It takes Dipper a minute to respond. He might've expected Yu to suggest he reach out to some of his friends, but this takes him entirely by surprise. ]
Are you sure? You really don't have to go out of your way. I'll be okay.
[ Maybe he should turn him down. Maybe he should insist on completely seeing after his own means. After all, he'd been trying to assert his responsibility and Mabel had done it for months without him.
But you know what? ]
I've got some I can bring over. Though I might need a hand with some of it.
Great. We should both take some more time to make sure we're properly healed up, but I figure we can start in a week or two. I'm no expert, but I can show you what I know. The practice will be good for me, too.

the most legitimate of dates
My arm's doing a lot better. What about you?

Minato-san invited me to karaoke. It was a pretty interesting experience.
[ It's a subtle difference, but Dipper's keen eye for detail might notice: Minato-san instead of Arisato-san. ]

I guess that's one way to recover.
[ If Mabel were here, she would have probably dragged him off to do the same thing.
But a lot would be different if Mabel were here. ]

I haven't been out very much since we got back. I figured I couldn't keep staying in my apartment forever.
[ It's ... more honest than he'd be with almost anyone, but he figures he owes Dipper that much. ]

I've been staying with Rei and her friends.
[ And then, a moment later, another message comes. ]
I wasn't ready to go back to my apartment yet.

Why don't you come stay with Yosuke and I? We have the room, and we'd be happy to have you.

[ So that's a yes. ]

That would be great. I'll let Yosuke know, and we'll help you move. Just let us know what day.
There's something else I wanted to ask you about, too.

Thanks, Yu. After everything that's happened, this really means a lot to me.

Great. Just give me a few more days to recover and I'll let you know as soon as I'm ready to move in.

Sounds like a plan. I'll talk to you soon, Dipper.
