Well, Yukari-san... she was difficult to impress and difficult to get along with. [This might have something to do with Ryoji killing her boyfriend.] I don't think she liked me much or ever forgave me for things that happened back home. At the same time, she was closer than a lot of other people. I was still glad I got to meet her.
[It's been a while since he's admitted things aloud like this, accepting. Ryoji's smile never wanes.]
