"Tachibana?"
"Hmm?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Little Invisible answered honestly, "I was thinking… I'm just glad you haven't given up on me, Shirakawa…"
"…"
"Did you really think I would give up on you? Tachibana, can't you have a little faith in your destined partner?"
"It's not that I don't have faith in you… it's that I lack faith in myself…" Little Invisible weakly replied, "After all… the bond between Shirakawa and me isn't as deep as with others… our relationship isn't that good either…"
"…"
With exasperation, Shirakawa Sawahei cradled the girl's small face and said earnestly, "Tachibana, I think you need to change your mindset profoundly. I like you just as much as you like me."
"No, it's different."
"It's the same."
Little Invisible blinked her eyes, not continuing to speak, but the sparkling light in her eyes revealed her true feelings.
It's different.
Shirakawa, I like you more than you think…
