 文本：

E: It's my week to monitor detention¹, so...

M: I just need a minute. I saw you and Aria² talking yesterday after school. Looked pretty intense.

E: Just mother-daughter stuff.

M: I assume it was about this. I just want you to know that I won't be pursuing things.

E: Because the person who did that to you was identified.

M: I jumped to a conclusion. Aria and I haven't had the easiest time. And I hope I haven't made things harder for us.
