■ Dialogue "For me to fall for the person I hurt... that's just too convenient, isn't it?" "Even so, I never want to see you being laughed at by someone else... ever again." "I hurt you in the past. So this time, I want to make sure you can smile." "...Is it okay if I stay by your side for just a little longer?"
