[ The scams are getting more and more human-like and convincing by the day... ]

I'm sorry, should I know who you are...?

[dasheng]

Man did you get a new phone or something? We already did all this.

[ .......................wait. ]

Shit.

My bad! Wrong number! Sorry!

[placation]

[ Oh, not a scam then! Just a bog standard case of mistaken identity.

Ah, no ramen for him... ]

No worries.

I hope whoever the ramen is for knows how lucky they are!

[dasheng]

More like how lucky I am.

Still, uh, don't let me stop you from doing whatever. You can eat what you want, ramen or not. Go for it!

[placation]

Well, thank you for the permission!

[ With a guy like Maruki, what sounds sarcastic over text might very well be entirely genuine... ]

You've inspired me. Perhaps I'll treat myself to ramen as well, if I can scrounge the money together.

[dasheng]

Hell yeah! That's the spirit!

You know I could always tell you about my favorite spot, awesome taste without breakin the bank too much!

[ Hell yeah! gives him significant pause.

It would be unethical, as a counselor, to continue on with the ramen charade when he has a feeling he knows who it is... ]

Sakamoto-kun???

[dasheng]

Huh???

[ Huh?????????? ]

Wait, who is this??

[placation]

This is Dr. Maruki...

What are the odds, huh?

[dasheng]

For real!?

Dude, your number is crazy close to my friend's, that's nuts!!

[placation]

[ Yeah..... he knows...... ]

Ah, you thought you reached Kurusu, right?

Don't let me keep you from your ramen outing with him!

[dasheng]

I mean, yeah, it won't.

Still, sorry. Probably looked like a weird scam text or something huh?

[placation]

That's exactly what I thought it was! I was waiting for you to ask for my bank details!
