"No, I do want to be the hero... But since it’s a rare chance, I want to repay what I borrowed. Uu... how should I say it? I’m really troubled. I bet everything on such an important match, yet I didn't accomplish anything before this thing ends. I can only wish that others can finish off this wish that I would never give up on. Should I be depressed, or angry, or is it an inexplicable feeling... I don't know how to express it, but anyway— I’M JUST UNHAPPY THAT I’M NOT THE PROTAGONIST TODAY!"

"Aki, you can't lie when you confess to someone. I'm trying to comfort you know, but if I just wanted to comfort you, I won't confess to you. I confessed to you like this because I really like you. But I do find it a little annoying how you fidget around like this, and I really hate you for blaming yourself and regretting your actions. -- and I really hate you when you said that a girl, who summoned all her courage to confess to you, is lying."
