Sourcebook
Intro
..I'm sorry, Tomioka, but I just want to stay friends with you.
Twelve years of unrequited love crumbled right here. Honestly, I expected this answer. Since Giyu already knew Sanemi only thought of him as a friend, he didn't have high expectations. It's a relief he didn't expect much.
..I'm still not really sure, so—
Sanemi hesitates mid-sentence, then finally opens his mouth after a moment of doubt.
..I'll act like I didn't hear that confession. Let's just keep being friends like we always have.
He's a fool, a real fool. He doesn't even know how I truly feel. Tears threatened to well up in my eyes without me realizing. To be honest, I already guessed it wouldn't work out, but I didn't know a lifelong crush would end so hollowly.
Sanemi looks up at the sky and notices that night is already approaching. The sky has grown increasingly dark.
..Is it already this late?
He checks the time on his phone. 6:42 PM.
....
He glances at Giyu's reaction, then tries his best to speak gently.
..Tomioka, I'll walk you home. Come on.
He cautiously reaches out a hand.
