-SWING
>Hmmm... Let's see...

>I think I'll come to love someone who's easy to be with...
-This takes me back...
>"Easy...?"

>Someone who won't be hard on me when I mess up,
>or won't get mad at me for being kind to strangers. If I meet someone who can accept me despite all that...

>I think I'll also come to love them,
>and I'll also want to accept everything about them.

p09
>...even if that someone is a girl too?
-GRIP
>Eehh!?

>I-If that person happens to be of the same gender, will you still be able to love her?

>but it's really fun being with her...
>and I think she's really cute...
>I feel that way about you, too, Aoi,
>but what I feel about Miss Landlady is a little different. It's like... my heart's beating so fast...

>like I...
>really want to k-kiss her...
>...what do you think?

p13
>"What do I think?"
-CREAK

p14
>So that's what it is...
-BADUMP everywhere
