Iori: Huh? ...Yes ...I'd like to see you... to talk... Iori: Umm... How about a coffee shop? ...Okay... Iori: Yes... I think I know the one... Right... Iori: Then, I'll be waiting... p150==== Seto: It's been so long since Iori-chan called... Seto: I had given up all hope she would ever call... Seto: But, I'm not happy... Teratani: Well, you should be happy. Seto: Huh? Seto: Oh... Yeah... Teratani: Why are you so worried? After all this time, you can see her, face to face. Seto: But... her voice was so... cold. Teratani: Maybe she's been crying about it as much as you? Teratani: She's probably been thinking, "He's not calling. Maybe he hates me." She was so shocked to hear your voice, her voice sounded cold. Seto: You think so? p151==== Teratani: I do! Trust my intuition. I can sense it. Seto: That's not very reassuring! Teratani: Remember, if you think bad thoughts, your luck will turn bad! Teratani: Well, good luck! Seto: I just... Seto: I wish I could believe him... p152==== Seto: Looking at it objectively, it doesn't seem so likely... Seto: Telling me that being optimistic is going to change things... Seto: He was just trying to cheer me up... Seto: I can't shake the feeling that it's about to be over... Seto: That night, her words, her expression, the whole atmosphere... Seto: And then, that phone call... her cold voice... Seto: His encouragement isn't going to change reality... p153==== Seto: But, why would she call today? Seto: Why wait until today to talk about it? Seto: Does she just want to clear it up herself? Seto: Maybe she wants to finish this, as a final act of kindness? Seto: I have no clue what she might be thinking! Seto: I just want to understand her heart for once... Seto: Damn... My legs have turned to lead. I don't want to go in!! Seto: To think that I wouldn't want to see Iori-chan... Seto: Be brave! You can't run away now!! p154==== Seto: Ah! Seto: Too late... I can't run now. p155==== Seto: She did seem to smile, despite herself, but... Seto: This is bad... This mood feels bad! p156==== Seto: I've got to just apologise, apologise, and apologise again!! Iori: So how's your studying going? Seto: Huh? Seto: Well.. okay, i guess... Iori: I see... Iori: Did you go anywhere for New Year's? Iori: ...I was studying. Seto: Of couse... Seto: Argh... idiot! Why am I being so curt with her!! p157==== Iori: By the way... Which university are you trying for? Seto: Hm? Seto: What's with this smalltalk!? Seto: Didn't I tell you? Iori: Huh? Yeah... maybe... Seto: What do I tell her? That it's the same one as her? Seto: But if she thinks of me as just some pervert, Seto: She might get the impression that I'm stalking her or something!! p158==== Seto: No... wait. This is the perfect opportunity to let her know what I think, isn't it!? Seto: Right!! Here goes!!! Seto: ...Takashika University... The same as you. Iori: Huh? Seto: What... Seto: What? What was that, "Huh"!? Seto: Or at least, that's what I was thinking... Seto: Aw hell... What am I saying!! Seto: Once again, my self-defence instinct kicks in!! Seto: Why am I always doing this... p159==== Iori: I'm sorry... Seto: "I'm sorry"? What? What is she sorry about!? Seto: "I'm sorry" for calling you? Or... or "I'm sorry", but I hate you!? Seto: Hm? Oh, wait!! There! Could it be!? "I'm sorry" for a better reason!? p160==== Iori: I would be best... p161==== Iori: If we don't see each other anymore... p162==== Seto: She said it!! She actually said it!!! My prediction was right!! Seto: Teratani was totally wrong!!! Seto: Now come the critical part!! I can't hold back! I have to... I have to do something!! p163==== Seto: ...Wh... Seto: Why? Seto: Argh!! What was that! Can't you come up with anything better than that!?! Iori: You ask me why... Seto: Damn!! Think man! Start crying and apologise!! Seto: Beg at her feet, anything to get her to reconsider!! fx: Ring! p164==== fx: Ring! Iori: Hello? ...Yes! Thanks for calling... Iori: Right... right... umm... Iori: That's okay... right. I understand. Iori: Okay... Thank you... p165==== Iori: Something's come up... Seto: Oh... Seto: Stupid! Is that okay? Are you going to let her go?!
