I keep asking myself what I could've said instead or how I really should've reacted. I keep wondering if you wouldn't have run away if I had...
Ena
To be honest, I don't even know if confronting you here like this is the best option...
Ena
And I know you don't want me thinking about what's right or wrong or whatever... I get that...
Ena
I want us to stay friends!
Which means it's natural that I'd want to make the right choice!

Ena
Yeah, I understand that my way of doing things could end up hurting you even more! But... But...!
Ena
You've stopped running and avoiding me, which tells me that you don't want things to end here...!
Ena

That's the clear and honest truth!
That's never ever going to change!

Mizuki
Don't you know that being my friend means having to tiptoe around a lot of stuff...?
Mizuki
You might see people looking at me funny... People who we don't know at all might begin spreading nasty rumors about us...!

Mizuki
I'm going to wonder, “Is it even okay for us to keep being friends?” I know I am...!

Ena
I'm saying you're wrong about wondering if it's okay for us to be friends, because that question doesn't make any sense to begin with!
Ena
Have you been listening?! I still consider you my friend! Or do you mean you don't think of me as yours?!
Ena
So, if we really still are friends, then don't make decisions for me by yourself...!!!
Ena
Between that day and now, I've thought long and hard about what you're going through! I even learned a few new things along the way!
Ena
I've been trying to talk to you, but you haven't been listening...! You've just been running away...!
Ena
And you're seriously wondering if it's okay for us to keep being friends?! To me, that sounds really stupid because...

Is everything okay?

Something you guys have to hear...
Mizuki
Something I've been wanting to say.
