                              But...
                              Even with this warm ambiance
                              surrounding me and Yura.
                              
                              ...would she get angry?
                              She often talked about Sugawa,
                              her best friend.
                              How much she liked Takeshi.
                              
                              And all the while,
                              I knew.
                              
                              He was only playing around with her.
                              
                              Telling her would only mess things up.
                              
                              Right?

                              "Why are you being like this Keichi? We've done the same thing so many times."
                              "She's different."
                              "What, are you in love with her?"
                              I don't say anything.
                              
                              The classroom is empty.
                              The soft breeze trickles in through the open windows.
                              
                              He sighs, rubbing his temples.
                              "She will hate you. And me."
                              "I know... but this is the first time I've felt this way.
                              I can't keep lying to her."
                              
                              "Since when did you get all sappy?"
                              
                              The times in the library,
                              ephemeral as they were
                              maybe
                              changed me.
                              It was the first time I had felt
                              happiness in a long while.
                              "Takeshi. I have to do this.
                              I have to tell her about you."
                              
                              The afternoon sun hides behind the trees in the distance.
                              
                              "You know. I was going to go after Yura too.
                              After Sugawa became boring.
                              
                              You weren't supposed to fall for her."
                              
                              I stare out the window.
                              The track team is running laps around the courtyard.
                              
                              "You'll regret this."
                              "Maybe."
                              
                              Takeshi shoves me out of his way,
                              slamming the door on the way out
                              of the classroom.
