Somehow it feels like Maya refuses to believe Sephiroth found any value in Frühling, like Maya wants to take all of it for herself. Frühling may seem narrow-minded but she isn't blind like that. It pisses her off, to feel devalued. Maya doesn't realize she's rubbing salt into a gaping wound as much as Frühling is loathe to apologize for anything she's done. (Blame Giovanni for using Maya as a shield.)

Frühling is gritting her teeth but she holds back on the incendiary comments. She has to win this. No other outcome is acceptable. ]

Is there any other way it can be?

[It's not that value assignments are so important to her. It's that she just doesn't know.

That question can be answered in more than a few ways, and not all of them pleasant to Frühling's ears, most likely. She doesn't know so many things. This is confusing, and didn't he realize he would be demanding so much out of a woman who's already driven, with her own career and aspirations here?

Finally, Maya shakes her head to herself.]

It doesn't matter. I'll do it. I'll sign the papers. He's important to me.

[And that's that.]

[ Forget everything she doesn't know, everything they don't know. Frühling just wants to get this over with, to attain one accomplishment and feel better about herself. Even if it doesn't seem like she cares, Frühling cares a whole lot.

It's certainly not the most comfortable of associations, but few things give Frühling comfort.

Good. We can take care of this at Masamune. The sooner the better. Let me know when you can set aside the time to come by. I imagine you have things to rearrange first before signing this contract.

[Surely she knows one accomplishment isn't enough to make her feel better about herself for an extended amount of time?]

Fine. Consider it done.

[It's true she has other obligations to take care of. Her goodwill towards Sephiroth will steamroll over only some of them.]

[ Is there a point in planning for the long term, here, when time is unpredictable? That said… ]

Don't take all of your time, Maya. There's much to plan for.

[ And with that, she's done. She will wait for the younger woman at the reception desk during the club's next opening hours. ]
