[ Thanks for not having high expectations. She really shouldn't have high expectations for him about anything, tbh, staring up at the high ceiling of the bath house. ]
...What about Four and Shirasu? Normally, you don't suspect the victim. But there's no reason to bring up any of the evidence, either. The sweets, and the glove.
And then there's that the sweets were some sort of cosmic universe clue, right? Not something that anyone told us or presented us like Four's glove.
I could imagine all the fighting those two did about it being to cover up what they'd done, but... I don't want to think that Kinjou-san would do thaaaat...
Yeah, I want to believe in Shirasu too. [ Maybe for different reasons from Akane, but it doesn't matter. ]
I can't tell whether the universe is supporting use or hindering us. A clue like that... It's obvious, but it also causes dissent. Maybe we would be better ignoring it?
[ He has trouble discerning whether that "too" means friends with her or himself, but there's also some hesitation in declaring it outright that they're friends. It really isn't the case, is it? ]
He cares for me, and has been teaching me, and I'm grateful towards him. But I don't know if I can say we're friends. I don't think it really matters...
[ He lets himself sink, dunking his head under the water before resurfacing again, pushing his hair out of his face and tucking his bangs behind his ear. ]
Either way, I won't let him down. Especially not Monday.

[ Is somebody his friend?? That's one of the most difficult questions in the world, because it's not something he can ever answer on his own- friendship takes both sides, after all. ]
Yeah. I made Shirasu go through a lot of trouble teaching me. Besides... I really do want to do something nice for everyone here. Small things, like charms, and food that reminds them of home.
I think it'll help cheer everyone up. Your headbands and charms did a good job, too. [ aggressively ignores how many people didn't want them or scolded him for it. ]
