Bloom Into You

Chapter 40

1. I've always been bad at making choices. 3. That's why I was waiting 4. For something to come to me. 5. But I see now.

1. Now, under the light we found together...

1. I want to help you, nanami-senpai. 2. I won't fall in love with you, senpai. 3. Let's change. 4. I only know you, senpai. 5. Many, many times. 6. That's right. 7. I've already chosen nanami-senpai.

1. She's not here yet... 2. Guess she wouldn't be.

1. I DIDN'T NEED TO RUN ALL THE WAY HERE... 3. "I'm on the way home now. Please, I need to talk to you. Wait for me at the student council building. I'll be there soon." 4. IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT TO SAY? 5. I WONDER WHAT SHE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT.

1. "Just the wind..." 2. "..." 3. But what? 4. Am I... Expecting something?

1. "Yuu!" 2. "You..." 3. "You came..."

1. "What did you want to talk about?" 2. "..." 3. "Yuu."

1. "I love you!" 2. "Wha-"

1. "H-" 2. "Hold on!" 3. "I love you!" 4. "A whole lot!" 5. "I..." 6. "Don't fall in love with me, okay?" 7. "I broke" 8. "Our promise..."

1. "Yuu."

1. "It's true" 2. "That I did start falling for you last spring, right here," 3. "Because you said you couldn't fall in love with anyone." 4. "It's because I've always been afraid of the word "Love."" 5. "But..." 6. "I've decided to no longer be afraid."

1. "It's okay to change." 2. "It turns out that "I love you" doesn't mean "Don't ever change." it isn't a shackle." 3. "You've changed, and I still love you." 4. "I mean," 5. "I still love you." 6. "Even though you're different now than when we met,"

1. "The part of me you fell in love with is gone..." 2. "...why?" 3. "Mmm..." 4. "I love how nice you are."

1. "I love how you smile and say, 'Oh, fine.'" 2. "But when it comes to helping others, you don't think twice." 3. "I love how you're a little indecisive," 4. "I love your fluffy hair." 5. "I love how you're short, and how it bothers you. It's adorable." 6. "How your hands are cool and soft." 7. "And your relaxing voice." 8. "Everything."

2. "How can you tell?" 3. "Me, and not anyone else?" 4. "Does that mean" 5. "I'm special to you?" 6. "Well, that's easy!"

1. "I can't get you out of my head!" 2. "It makes me happy, but then sometimes I want to cry!" 3. "You're all I can think about!" 4. "It's such a confusing feeling," 5. "But I can't bear to lose it."

1. "You're the only one for me." 2. "I love you, yuu!" 3. I thought my hand was shaking 4. As she held it so tight, but it wasn't mine. 5. It was hers.

1. She's still scared. 2. "I love you..." 3. "And..." 4. She's scared, 5. But she's saying it anyway.

1. "I want you to keep loving me!"

1. "That's no fair, senpai." 2. "You're really no fair!" 3. "I wanted to be the one to experience a love" 4. "That swept me off my feet."

1. "I thought love—" 2. "Feeling that someone is special—" 3. "was something that would one day just fall out of the sky and hit me." 4. "I thought it was something huge and mysterious" 5. "and entirely out of my control." 6. "But I've realized that for me, love is different." 7. "It's something I chose to reach out for."

1. I've been making choices 2. All this time. 3. "I want to be beside her." 4. "I want to change her."

1. "I was able to make those choices because you were always telling me you loved me." 2. "I've decided" 3. "That you're special to me." 4. "Nanami-senpai."
