2. "..." 3. Yeah, no way. 6. But I doubt they sell any matching promise rings this cheap. 7. Nope, don't see any here... 8. Oh, maybe they have some. 9. Are they all that expensive? 10. Or was it just that store? 11. I'd be too scared to even step foot in there.

1. To be honest 2. I have no idea how to tell a good ring from a bad one. 3. And even if I did, I don't have the money anyway. 4. "I don't know why I came here..." 5. "I mean, she did say she was joking, so..." 6. "Oh yeah... and I don't know her size either." 7. "..." 8. "This is a waste of time." 9. "Wait..." 10. "This..."

6. One feeling... Can change the way you see the whole world.

1. "Shizuku!" 2. "You're here~" 3. "Hey!" 4. "Hey..." 5. "That's what I figured. The sun's so strong today." 6. "Yeah, it's hell outside..." 7. "Is it back to being hot again? They always keep the AC turned up in here, so I can't tell." 8. "Good thing the typhoon passed quickly." 9. Funny, isn't it... 10. "Oh, I took some pictures. Want to see?" 11. "Really? Yes, I want to see!" 12. "Yeah, I moved them before the storm hit." 13. "That's so thoughtful of you~" 14. "Oh, are the flowers okay?"

1. It's only been a day 2. But I'm so giddy you'd think it's been years. 3. "I missed this, you know." 4. "!" 5. "Though I guess that's a funny thing to say." 6. "I mean, we just talked on the phone yesterday!"

1. Did she just read my mind? 2. "Yeah, that is funny..." 3. I never used to get like this. 4. God, why am I so nervous all of a sudden? 5. "Oh, you brought it! Thanks!" 6. "The book you asked me to get." 7. "Here..." 8. "The..."

1. "Yay" 2. "Ooh, I can't wait to see what happens next!" 3. "Also..." 4. "Here's my novel for today." 5. "Hm?" 6. "..." 7. "Also..." 8. What if it's too sudden? 9. Will it make things awkward? 10. Wait. 11. Am I sure about this? 12. "Also..." 13. "Um..."

1. "I..." 2. "I got this..." 3. "Huh?"

1. "It..." 2. "It's nothing big..." 3. "But, I... I want you to have it..." 4. "A- A present? For me?" 5. "Wh- What is it?" 6. "You're the best!" 7. "Are you sure?" 8. "Thank you!"

1. The wrapping's so cute! 2. "Go ahead." 3. "Mind if I open it now?" 5. "Aw, it's adorable!" 6. "!" 7. "I know you like to tie your hair, so..." 8. "Y-Yeah." 9. "Oh, Shizuku!" 10. "Are you sure I can have this?"

1. "...!" 2. "I, um... thought it would look good on you." 3. "Well?" 4. "Does it?" 5. "W-Wow."

1. "Thanks, Shizuku." 2. "Ehehe." 3. "Y-Yes, it looks..." 4. "Good..." 5. "This'll be my new favorite ribbon!" 6. "Phew." 7. She likes it. 8. "Sounds good."

1. "Hmm..." 2. I wonder... 3. How would she react? 4. If I told her how I feel. That I... Love her.

1. Would she be happy, like she was just now? 2. Maybe... 3. Or would she not know what to say? 4. Maybe she feels the same way. 5. I'm pretty sure she doesn't not like me, given our whole make-believe couple thing. 6. But that doesn't mean she likes me. 7. I just can't tell how she feels. 8. "Yeah?" 9. "Shi-zuku..."

1. "Where's the next part?!" 2. "Uh..." 3. "Whaaat? I want to read it now~~ It's getting to the good part!" 4. "Not written yet..." 5. "I just wrote that yesterday, you know." 6. "The suspense is killing me!" 7. "I'll bring it tomorrow." 8. "Ugh, I can't wait!"

1. "Not saying it wasn't good before- it always was." 2. "Oh, wait." 3. "Also..." 4. "I noticed your writing's been getting better and better." 5. "I don't really know how to describe it." 6. "But anyway, it's amazing!" 7. "But recently, I've been getting more... pulled in? By your writing." 8. "I feel like the emotions are just so much more... vibrant than before." 9. "I know so!" 10. "Y-You really think so?" 11. "Oh!" 12. "Hey," 13. "Shizu-ku..."

1. "Do you ever think about becoming an author?" 2. "What?" 3. "Whaat, really?" 4. "You're being way too generous if you think I could ever do it." 5. "And even if I somehow managed to make my debut, making an entire living writing sounds even more impossible." 6. "No way I could submit my writing to a contest for some judge to look at." 7. "No, no, no, no, no. No way." 8. "You know all those books and movies that started out as web novels?" 9. "Oh! Here's an idea." 10. "Look, I'm glad you think so, but..." 11. "I don't know, seems like a waste. I mean, look at this. You write so well."

1. "What if you uploaded your novel to one of those sites?" 2. "..." 3. "Aw, why not?" 4. "I'm not sure..." 5. "Um..." 6. "Put this... on the internet?" 7. "Can you stop?" 8. "I just wish other people could read it too..." 9. "Hmm..." 10. "I actually like a lot of web novels myself, so I thought it might be a good idea."

1. "I already said no."

1. "Oh, um, sorry..." 2. "Ah..." 3. "Sorry." 4. "I just..." 5. "I'll be right back." 6. "I..."

1. She was just trying to compliment my writing. 2. And I had to be all weird about it. 3. What am I doing? 4. But a web novel? I...

1. I mean, I've already told her so many secrets. What would one more change? 2. I should just tell her. 3. Besides, how would I even explain myself? 4. But no matter how many times I open up 5. It still... Scares me a little. 6. To feel so exposed, and vulnerable in front of someone else. 7. You never know when she might collapse again.

1. No, I don't have time to be indecisive. 2. What's important right now 3. Is treasuring every moment spent with kaori.

1. "Shi-zuku" 2. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you. If you don't want to-" 3. "No, it's fine." 4. "I'm the one who should be apologizing." 5. "I... I can't really put it into words right now." 6. "Do you mind giving me some time?" 7. "I... I'm not mad or anything." 8. "It's just..."

1. "I do want to tell you. I just don't know how." 2. "Of course." 3. "Huh? You sure you don't have it backwards?" 4. "Thanks though" 5. "But you give me so much~!" 6. "Not like you asked me to buy it for you." 7. "Plus, it's my way of saying sorry..." 8. "Whaat?" 9. "No, no" 10. "Oh, I'll pay you back for the water." 11. "One sec."

1. "No, I don't mind." 2. "Besides, you need your rest." 3. "Yeah, sorry. Didn't mean for you to feel rushed..." 4. "I think Ruri-chan is coming to visit soon." 5. "Alright, well, I should get going." 6. "Yeah!" 7. "See you." 8. "See you tomorrow."

1. "..." 10. "Web novels..." 11. "..."

6. Where do I even begin?

3. "Merry christmas!"
