(Iris room)
Souji (in his mind after closing the door): Almost like my room but she is really into cats since there are a lot of cat-shaped items. (looking at the door in front of him) That should be her bedroom.
(Bedroom)
Souji (standing near Iris's bed seeing her hug the gift teddy): She's out cold.
When Souji reaches his hand out to touch Iris's shoulder she opens her eyes having sharp pupils before immediately turning around to grab Souji's wrist tightly.
Souji (in his mind while in pain): How could she have this much strength? Iris, it's me Souji. You're not in danger.
Iris (looks at Souji after her eyes return to normal while wearing her pajamas): Souji. What are you doing in my room?
Souji: I was worried that something must have happened since you never replied.
Iris (letting Souji go): Sorry for worrying you but can you please wait outside so I can get change?
Souji (walking away): Sure (at the bedroom door before leaving) but sorry for breaking in.
Iris (standing in front of her bed after getting out): It's fine. (look at her phone after he left) Dam, he sent so many notifications.
(outside apartment)
Iris (rushing down the stairs wearing her collage outfit): Sorry for making us late.
Souji (look at Iris when she was about to stop near him): It's still early.
Iris (started walking with Souji): Where's Ruby?
(street)
Souji: She's at morning practice. A captain must watch and train with her comrades.
Iris: It sounds like Ruby is preparing for battle. (look at Souji) You better not take any pictures.
Souji: I didn't. I can show you my phone if you don't believe me.
Iris (after sighing): I believe you.
Souji (notice Iris's stuffy eyes): How long were you crying last night?
Iris (putting her hood on): I don't know. I remember getting into bed and I just suddenly started crying.
Souji (walks ahead pulling Iris along after grabbing her hand): We're taking the bus.
(bus)
Iris (after Souji made her sit down): Why are we taking the bus?
Souji (after sitting next to Iris): Because you don't look so well.
Iris: Maybe it's because I didn't sleep enough. (after Souji touches her cheek) Why is your hand so cold?
Souji: You're a bit warm. Might be catching a cold. Do you feel hungry?
Iris: Not really. Now that you mention it.
Souji: I know you just woke up but try eating something once we reach the canteen.
Iris: Okay.
(college canteen)
Ruby (sitting at a table seeing her friends enter): Souji., Iris over here.
Ruby wearing a white button-up shirt that's undone on the top button with middle-length sleeves, a red middle-length skirt, and white short leggings. She also has a red cloak with a white star clip, red short boots that have short heels with white underneath, and a white headband that has two red stars on the left side.
Souji (walking over with Iris while her hood is off): I thought you were with your team?
Ruby: The vice-captain kicked me out not that long ago. (look at Iris when she sat in front of her) You don't look so good.
Souji: Don't mind watching her. She might have a cold.
Ruby: Can you get me a strawberry smoothie?
Souji (before walking off): Kay.
Ruby (after Souji left): Hey Iris do you wear makeup?
Iris: I don't. I think it's a waste of time.
Ruby: I agree but you look so pretty. (notice Iris necklace): That's a cute necklace.
Iris (lifts her pendant a bit to look at it): It's from my late mother.
Ruby (in her mind after Iris's eyes almost became completely dull): Did I say something that brought back bad memories?
Souji (walking with a tray): Iris?
Iris (look at Souji with normal eyes after he reaches them): I'm okay.
Souji (puts a coffee and a plate down in front of Iris): I got you coffee and a slice of the sandwich you like.
Ruby (while Souji put strawberry smoothie in front of her): You like the blt sandwich?
Iris (while Souji sat next to her after taking a bite): Yeah. Something about it tastes nice.
Ruby (look at Souji): Did you get another wrap?
Souji: It's a chicken plain wrap.
Ruby: Iris did you know that Souji's main account is linked to his surname?
Iris (surprise): Really?
Souji: My family tree is linked to the samurai generation but that isn't the full reason why I carry a katana.
