Closer Heartbeat

The narrator tells us that he's not the person who gave the girls away. He's the one who gave them away in the first place. He apologizes for being so rude to the girls, but he doesn't apologize enough to explain why he was so rude. Instead, he says, he just tries to respond to the feelings of other people, even if they don't respond to him. He says that's why the guy who gave away the girls acted the way he did, because he was afraid of hurting the girls' feelings. The narrator says that if you love someone from afar, you might be able to love someone back in your own home. He tells the narrator that he can't understand why he only plays games in secret, since everyone would think that he was a weirdo. He also says that playing games with no one around isn't that big of a deal, since no one would think he was playing a game in front of them.
