[Baren nearly hangs up at the mention of Chuuya. He doesn't care whatever Sena thinks he learned from Chuuya -
But he said seven seconds, so he'll listen.
... and he thinks it's stupid, for the most part. The idea of "everyone likes you" is probably colored by some sort of self-deprecating or aggressive lens that Sena uses to view the world, because that's certainly not true. Biggest competitor, boring... and he's really tempted to hang up.
The actual apology keeps him from it.
Just barely.
He lets Sena hang up first.
Then after some rumination, some bargaining with his own pride, he sends a text:]
you know even your apologies are self-important and self-pitying
if you put more effort into actually improving your shitty personality instead of coming with reasons that you're a victim of your own actions you could actually get somewhere
just a thought don't call me senpai and delete my number
[ - but he hasn't blocked sena's number.
so.
apology begrudgingly accepted, even if it doesn't sound like it.]
