Chapter 1 - You got what I mean, right..? “Ahhhhh… Did I really…?” A student mumbled under his breath as he walked outside at night. He wasn’t a suspicious person, though. This student was Masachika Kuze, who was on his way home after walking Alisa back to her place. “Whyyy did I say ‘I’ll support you’. Why did I say ‘Take my hand’. Who the hell do I think I am? Just die. Ahh, man, I’m so creepy and embarrassing. No, if we’re talking creepy, then me mumbling to myself like this is even creepier. Ick.” He spewed words of intense regret and self-loathing. A few minutes ago, he’d shown Alisa the rare sight of his manly side, but now he was incredibly upset at himself. The words he said to her replayed over and over in his head, making him feel like he was going to die of shame and regret. And on top of that… “Alya… She totally said ‘I like you’…” The smile she showed me on that tree-lined street was like a blooming flower. Masachika could vividly remember the soft touch he felt on his cheek as she was just about to go. He couldn’t settle down because of it. Up until now, he thought that the flirty lines she occasionally said in Russian were just for fun. He thought she was just messing around, devilishly flirting with him, that she was getting a thrill out of whether or not he’d find out, out of how ridiculous it was that he would never realize.
