>"The room we can't escape from until we've written a letter of apology"!?

>...I'm sorry, Sarara. We ended up late cos I had you sleep over at my place...
>Don't apologise! I'm the one who collapsed!

>If anything, I'm happy that we're all alone...

>If we can overcome this, I'll be closer to her than any love rival!

p4
>That photo from when you tried out for the tennis club.
>You're contributors too, right?
>Ah.. that was...

>It seems to have gotten quite the buzz...

>I don't want Haiji-chan... to go through that!

p9
