Iris: I'm sorry. (grab Souji's chest) I was afraid that I didn't push you away in time before the rocket was about to reach us. (look at Souji) I need you Souji. (tears fall) I can't let you die. You mean so much to me.

Souji (look at Iris): You mean so much to me too. My heart hurt so much after seeing you injured on the floor. (touch Iris's cheek whipping her tears) After waking up in the hospital all I wanted to do was to get revenge for you after being told how bad your condition was.

Iris: Souji you're such an idiot. After just waking up all I wanted to do was to see you and when you suddenly arrived I was so happy. (after Souji put his head on her shoulder) Are you okay?

Souji (in his mind): I understand what mum means now.

Iris (worry): Souji are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?

Souji (look at Iris): I love you Iris.

Iris (in her mind while blushing): He loves me?

Souji (after Iris looks away): I'm sorry. I should have waited until you recovered.

Iris (after putting Souji's hand on her chest): Is this what you feeling?

Souji (while feeling Iris's heart beat fast): Yes. This is what love is.

Iris: This love feeling is weird.

Souji (puts Iris's necklace on her): That's because you lost the feeling of love long ago. However, since we're so dense I think things between us will be fine.

Iris (look at Souji): You sure?

Souji (after picking Iris up in his arms): I'm sure. (notice) You brought your katana with you?

Iris (look at her katana): I forgot I was holding it. (blushing after noticing) You can put me down I can walk on my own.

Souji: I don't want you to trip. (start walking inside) Did my mum give you that cloak?

Iris: I'm just borrowing it. She put her cloak on me when I said I was going to the roof.

(inside stairs)

Souji (while walking down): Just promise me to not risk your life to save me.

Iris: You better do the same. Ruby told me some background history about you.

(hallway)

Souji (shocked after stopping when he reaches the floor): How much did she tell you?

Ruby (walking down the hallway): Only a few things but I'm surprised you're carrying your girlfriend like that Souji.

Iris (blush more): Girlfriend.

Ruby: When two people confess and accept each other love they begin to date being a couple.

Iris: I see. (in her mind) So it's a relationship that's even further than being just friends.

Souji (look at Iris): Is this too much?

Iris: No. Just give me some time to gather myself.

Souji (smiling): Okay.

Ruby (in her mind smiling): There's such light coming from them. (turn around before walking) They deserve this.

Souji (following behind): Hey Ruby where's your father?

Ruby: Should be in his office.

Iris: He already checked my injuries.

Souji: I'm taking you to your room. My mum going to be surprised.

Iris: Are you actually going to carry me there?

Souji: Yes and I'm not putting you down.

Iris (covers her face with the hood): How embarrassing.

Souji (in his mind): So cute. Now I can spoil her how much I want.

(five days later Iris's room)

Iris (hearing a knock while standing near the bed wearing her street outfit without her coat and putting her belongings in a bag): You can come in.

Souji (entering wearing his street outfit and carrying his sword bag but wearing a winter coat that has fluff on the inner collar): It's me.

Iris (look at Souji): You don't have to visit me every day.

Souji: A little biddy told me you were being released from the hospital today.

Iris (quietly while looking away): I wanted to surprise you.

Souji: Did you say something?

Iris (turn around): I didn't.

Souji (put a black long cloak coat on Iris that has fluff on the hood, inside neck, and wrist): Put this on. It's a lot colder outside.

Iris: Thank you. (see Souji carrying her bag after putting her coat on) You don't have to carry that.

Souji: It's alright. Now shall we get going?

Iris (walking to grab her sword bag): Wait. There's one thing I want to show you.

Souji (while Iris walks towards him after she picks up her sword bag): What's that?

Iris (after opening her pendant): This. (Souji see a picture of them on the left side) Ruby was kind enough to put this image of us in the pendant.

Souji: Do you like it?

Iris (smiling): Of course. It's almost like my mum has her own photograph of us. (when Souji suddenly hugs her after dropping the bags) Souji?

Souji: It's nothing.
