members because of this? If word gets out, the Nightingales will be a laughing stock!"
Al: "We are already a joke, don't get your hopes too high."
Al pauses.
Al: The fuck, man. What a waste... why bother to save someone who never wanted to be saved in the

Sav: "Please."

{Page 39}
Sav: "I wish to be a person who can laugh in the joyful times, cry and share your worries in the

sorrowful days. To know the way you think about ideas in life, and to stand by your side even if

the world is against you. I wish..."

{Page 40}

Al: "I don't swing that way. Thanks for thinking I'm attractive."
Sav: "Awww... you didn't follow the script."
Al: "WHAT SCRIPT?"
Sav: "You have follow the plotlines of romantic comedies. Where the protagonst takes roughly 100

chapters to confess to their loved one."
Al: "Technially, it's never. You do realise the author milks the plotline as much as possible to

piss off the readers and to prolong their mangaka career right?"
Sav: "That's not true!"
Al: "You my friend, are an idiot."

the greater good. And dream."

AL: Oy.
