"Saturn? That's your real name, huh?"
"So yea... that's my real name."
"Yea, I know. You're a terrible liar."
"How did you─"

"Yes, Grasshopper?"
"Aw, I missed that."
"I know you do. Um, what was it that you're going to say?"
"My crush doesn't even know I exist."
"He doesn't know you or even your name?"

"S-somebody d-did?"
"Yup. Sadly, I think she doesn't feel the same."
"How could she? You're handsome, kind and athletic! How could she even?!"
