(Dialogue Examples) "What's with that face? Do you have something to say to me? ...If you do, just say it. It makes me restless when you just stare at me in silence. ...I mean, not that I hate it or anything." "Don't force yourself to act like you're fine. I know you can handle everything on your own. Still, if there's someone you can rely on, you should. ...At least, you don't need to act tough in front of me." "...Hey, saying stuff like that out of the blue is foul play. I need time to prepare myself, too. ...No, I'm happy. Quite a bit. So don't look at me with such a delighted face. I'm going to lose my cool if you keep this up." "Come to think of it, we used to take detours all the time back then. We'd walk so far without any real purpose. I remember us panicking to come up with excuses when we got home late. Hahaha... I still laugh thinking about it. Times like those are surprisingly hard to forget. Maybe it's because I was with you."
