[He's dangling a black ring from a chain around his neck, spinning it between his fingers.]

Fuck, I still don't know which finger to wear it on.

Ah--! Hey--!

[ It's okay, secretly he likes it.]

It's black! I've never seen a black ring before.

Neither have I, actually.

[He twists it to show the engraved 嵐 character.]

Arashi gave it to me.

Is Arashi your boyfriend? Oh, I like the little design!

Yeah. It's his name.

Oh, like... in a different language? I've seen things like that before, back home! It's so pretty, John. But what do you mean you don't know what finger?

It's just... stupid. It doesn't matter, I guess, I just never worn anything other than my wedding ring before.

I didn't know you were married! I don't think I did, anyway. [ He gestures to the ring without touching it, in case he's not allowed. ] It does look neat hanging from that chain, at least!

I was. [It's amazing how casually he's able to say that.]

It might be safer there, anyway.

Safer?

From anybody trying to take it.

Oh! I hope no one tries that. Wouldn't it be hard to get it off your finger, though?

You just cut the finger off.

[....He always forgets who he's talking to.]

[ He stares at Harvestman for a minute, and his eyes glaze a bit. ]

Um... I guess if someone really wants a ring that badly....

[Whoops.]

Don't think too hard about it. Forget I said it.

It's really hard to forget the things you tell me, sometimes.

Well, you shouldn't talk to horrible people like me, anyway.

Don't be silly! You haven't been horrible for ages now.

That can always change.

Oh stop it, you don't want to be horrible. And it wouldn't even work on me anyway.

Are you sure? I can give it a damn good shot.
