“I’ve always been wondering, even though you’ve been treating me carefully like a princess, are you just trying to keep your distance away from me? You praise me so much and belittle yourself, so I feel that you’re trying to keep your distance away from me...”
“I'm sorry for not saying this to you, Akihisa-kun. I know I shouldn't hide this from you, but I was wondering whether I should tell you this. Because if I told you that, you'll definitely tell me "you should go", or something like that. I understand you'll say that for my sake, but I don't wish to hear you say anything like a farewell to me, Akihisa-kun. Because-- I like you, Akihisa-kun!”
