1. Things just keep piling up.

1. "You're dating...?" 2. "That's..." 3. "......"

1. "Sayaka! Wait!" 2. "......" 3. "Why did you tell her?" 4. "Yeah." 5. "...sorry, matsuri." 6. "I couldn't keep my promise."

1. Because she looked hurt. 2. But with that out, I think I can help her now. 3. I admit things aren't looking good. 4. "Caring about others before yourself..." 5. "There you go again." 6. "No, that really hurt!" 7. "You wouldn't have gotten hit by a tiny punch then..." 8. "Then I guess it's my fault."

1. "But you know..." 2. "Without you I wouldn't found a hint, so it's a-okay!" 3. "......" 4. "Everything's cool! It won't be "Game over" for me."

1. "Sayaka..." 2. "Miyabi!" 3. "Hey! Sayaka!"

1. "Hey, what's with you, sayaka?" 2. "Sorry..." 3. "I didn't mean to leave you behind." 4. "!" 5. "To matsuri and yuzu?" 6. "Why did you do that" 7. "Why...?" 8. "Right! Miyabi!" 9. "It'd be best if we stay far away from those two!"

1. "Why would you say that...?"

1. "I'm home." 3. "Actually..." 4. "I want to ask for your forgiveness..." 5. "What are you doing?" 6. "I hope you can forgive both of us." 7. "Today I was confronted by that first year student in the student council," 8. "Oh! But none of it was her fault...!" 9. "B... But there was a good reason for it!" 10. "And she found out we're dating!"

1. "And well... There were just a lot of things involved and..." 2. "Urk...!" 3. "Yuzu... I need to process what's going on." 4. "First, raise your head." 5. "Hmph!" 6. "Eeek!" 7. "Uwaaaah!"

1. "I see." 2. "So that's what happened..." 3. "Yeah." 4. "It is." 5. "What happened today isn't your fault, mei." 6. "No." 7. "After hearing her concerns..." 8. "I didn't take proper actions" 9. "I apologize." 10. "But still..." 11. "The cause of this mess was the revision of the academy's policies..." 12. "Besides..." 13. "Problems occurring within the academy are my responsibility"

1. "Resolving whatever's bothering her needs to come first." 2. "The reason sayaka wants to bring back the old policies is..." 3. "Is much more complicated than it appears." 4. Bothering her...? 6. "I haven't confirmed it for myself yet, but..." 7. "Do you know what it is?" 8. "......" 10. But if I didn't reveal our relationship... 11. I wouldn't be able to approach her about it...

1. "!" 2. "I won't." 3. "Can you leave this problem to me?" 4. "So please!" 5. "That's not it." 6. "But I can't just leave her like this..." 7. "None of this would have happened otherwise." 8. "...it's my fault for rushing ahead."

1. "This time, we'll do it "Together."" 2. "We'll discuss this further after I change." 3. "I don't want us to go through these" 4. "Yeah!" 5. "Unbearable feelings again."
