I can’t stop thinking about what that teammate of Ren’s, Izumi, said about Ruri’s last question on the meme. She’s pretty direct, but I don’t think even she’d just ask a question like that without a reason.
What if it wasn’t a mistake?
Who’s your crush?
She wouldn’t--it’s not like--did she want me to say it was her? What am I supposed to do. It would be normal if I did like her. But I never considered dating Ruri. She’s a great person, and she’s cute. I don’t know. I don't have time for a girlfriend anyway!
God. I feel like a jerk. And I didn’t even do anything wrong!
Maybe Oda can help me find a gift to apologize to her when we go out this weekend. He's got a sister; maybe he understands girls better than I do.
