I stopped on Itsuki's name and stared at my phone for a little bit. I wasn't hesitating, I was just thinking of the best approach. I started to think about the notes I left for all of the Quints and how I finished them

Y/N: But, Ichika, I can't choose you.

Y/N: But, Yotsuba, I can't choose you.

Y/N: But, Miku, I can't choose you.

Y/N: But, Nino, I can't choose you.

Y/N: But, Itsuki, I think I made a choice.

**Itsuki's the one I chose.**

I took out my phone and texted Itsuki to come meet me at the pond where we used to walk.

**It was you, Itsuki. I love all of you girls, but I'm only in love with one of you. It took me a while to realize it, but you're the one I'm in love with.**

{Later}

I leaned on the railing and stared off into the water before Itsuki arrived at the pond. When I saw her, for some reason I also saw the fake "Rena" who tried so hard to make me remember Kyoto.

Y/N: Rena.

Itsuki: Wh-What?! N-No, it's Itsuki.

Y/N: I know, but you're Rena, aren't you? I never realized, but as I look at you right now, you really look like her. More than any of your sisters.

She walked over and sat down on the bench behind me.

Y/N: So, was it you or not?

Itsuki: No, the girl in the photo isn't me. That's-

Y/N: Yotsuba. Yeah, I figured that out. I don't mean her, I mean the one of you who took your mother's name and came to see me at this pond the first time. Was that not you?

Itsuki: Oh... Well, fine, you caught me. That was me, but I only did it because you were depressed!

Y/N: I wasn't depressed!

Itsuki: Were too!

Y/N: What was in the charm you gave me? You said to open it when I learn to accept myself, or something like that.

Itsuki: You didn't open it..?

Y/N: I lost it when you idiots made me go jumping into the water outside of your old home...

Itsuki: S-Sorry...

Y/N: I never got the chance to open it, but I'm curious. What was inside?

She hesitated to answer.

Itsuki: It was nothing special. I kind of just gave you it for show.

Y/N: That didn't answer my question.

Itsuki: Fine! It was the photo we all took together!

Y/N: Which one..? I've taken a bunch of pictures with you all-

Itsuki: No, not my sisters.

Her face went red and she couldn't look at me anymore.

Itsuki: T-The photo we took at the arcade. Raiha-chan, you, and myself. That photo.
