c "But the more you think about someone else holding it, the worse everything starts to feel. "
c "So you hang on as if your life depends on it...because it’s better than the alternative. Better than never knowing."

c "Sorry. That probably sounded a little cheesy, didn’t it? I know I’m not as good at writing as you or Otoha. "
r "No, it...it was nice. And it made sense. I think. I don’t know. I could probably make some sort of sense out of pretty much anything right now but that’s just how desperate I am, I guess."
c "Worried of what will happen if someone else gets to hold her instead of you?"
r "Of course."
c "Do you think she’s worried of the same thing?"
r "Maybe..."
scene twogirlsonabed12
with dissolve
r "I mean...I think so? Why else would she get so jealous any time literally anyone else comes up?"
c "Maybe cause she’s...possessive? Or jealous? Or trying to overcompensate for something?"
r "You really don’t like her, do you?"
c "I have this thing where I get kinda pissed off at people who make my loved ones sad. So yeah, Otoha’s on my shit list until she starts getting her act together."
c "To be honest, I don’t really know much about the girl. So the majority of my opinion on her comes from the fact that I know you have good taste in women. "
scene twogirlsonabed13
with dissolve
r "Do I?"
c "Absolutely. But ignoring that blatant pat on the back I just gave myself...I want you to know that I’ll always be here for you...and that anyone who would ever hurt you is fucking insane."
r "Mhm. And are you counting yourself as one of those people? Or do you want to pat yourself on the back a little bit more?"
scene twogirlsonabed14
with dissolve
c "Of course I count myself as one of those people. "
c "All “logic” pointed toward you in my relationship with love. Same class. Close to the same age. Close to the same {i}size.{/i} You even live right across the hall from me."
c "But the heart doesn’t care about logic. Which is probably why you’re still so down over a girl you’ve been fighting with for two months now."
r "Yeah, but..."
r "It really doesn’t feel like it’s been that long to me."
scene twogirlsonabed15
with dissolve
r "It’s like I just woke up this morning and all of that time passed by without me even realizing it. "
r "Maybe if...maybe if it really felt like two months...maybe then I’d be able to wrap my head around this and think more rationally, but-"
c "But the heart doesn’t care about logic."
c "It wants what it wants and throws a temper tantrum if it can’t have it."
scene twogirlsonabed16
with dissolve
r "Yeah..."
c "Do you remember {i}why{/i} I turned you down, Rin?"
c "It wasn’t because I didn’t like you. It was because-"
r "Because you already had someone. I know."
c "But did I ever tell you {i}who{/i} that person was? Or anything about them? Because if you knew, you’d be calling it the least logical decision of all time. And you’d see firsthand just how right I am."
c "You’re not the only one around here who’s impulsive and lovestruck and powered by desire...I’m all of those things too. Which is why I can lie here next to you right now and see where you’re coming from."
c "The guy I’m with-"
r "I know it’s Sensei, Chika."
scene twogirlsonabed17
with dissolve
c "You-"
r "I’ve known the whole time."
r "I mean...who else would it be?"
c "Rin-"
r "I might have lost the stupid bullshit knowledge contest to Yasu fucking Yasui, but I still know Sensei better than almost anybody."
r "And I’ll admit that I wasn’t even {i}close{/i} to cheering you guys on in the beginning. "
r "I was jealous and bitter and mad and every other shitty thing a person can feel."
r "But you guys managed to make it work, didn’t you? You’re still together all this time later while Otoha and I can’t even celebrate a single holiday together without exploding into a million pieces."
c "But...why didn’t you ever-"
scene twogirlsonabed18
with dissolve
r "What was I going to say?"
r "“Hey, Chika. Having a good time dating the teacher?” or “Hey, think I could borrow Sensei later if you guys aren’t busy boning? I need help with math.”"
c "Rin...nobody else can know about this. It’s serious. He could go to jail."
r "Th...That’s obvious, yeah. But...uhh...the...the point is that you don’t need to go to all these lengths to explain heart logic and stuff like that to me because I already know."
scene twogirlsonabed19
with dissolve
r "I know pain...and longing...and grief...because I’ve been feeling and experiencing those things in tandem with everyone else."
r "But none of that changes the position I’m in now or where I’m meant to go from here. The only one who can change any of that is me."
scene twogirlsonabed20
with dissolve
r "I just wish it was a little fucking easier, you know?"
r "I don’t want to be stuck in here. I want...I want to have fun! And make memories with all of my friends {i}and{/i} Otoha."
c "I know...I know."
scene twogirlsonabed21
with dissolve
r "Why doesn’t she want that too?! "
r "Why does it always have to be about someone else when it can just be about us?!"
r "I’m not the one making things that way! I gave up all she wanted me to give up but I can’t just rip you and Sensei out of my life like it’s nothing! I love you guys!"
r "Why can’t she just let me love you?!"
scene twogirlsonabed22
with dissolve
c "It’s not up to her or {i}anyone{/i} else to ever tell you what you should and shouldn’t feel. "
r "That’s what I’ve been saying the whole time! But nope! Fuck Rin! She liked Chika {i}once{/i} so she obviously still likes her now! People never move on! That’s impossible!"
c "You can’t help what you feel and she can’t help what she feels either. The only options are learning to deal with it or moving on."
r "But I don’t want to move on and she doesn’t want to learn! So what are we supposed to do now?!"
scene twogirlsonabed23
with dissolve
c "Just cry and hold my hand. The pain will hurt a little less if you have someone to share it with. And I can take it."
r "I know you can...you’re amazing...you’ve always been amazing...and that’s why you can be happy and mature and know how to function as one half of a couple and all I can do is complain and cry."
c "I’m not always happy and I’m not always mature. I’m just lucky enough to have someone who’s able to put up with that."
c "And if Otoha can’t be that person for you, {i}I{/i} will."
scene twogirlsonabed24
with dissolve
r "But we’re not {i}together.{/i} It’s not {i}you{/i} I think of the second I wake up anymore. It’s {i}her.{/i} "
r "It’s not you who comes to mind when I see an old couple happily eating together through the window of a family restaurant, it’s {i}her.{/i}"
r "When {i}she{/i} sees things like that...does she think of me at all?..."
r "Or does she just keep walking?"
r "How can she ignore me so easily, Chika? How doesn’t it eat away at her? "
r "What do you do when Sensei won’t look at you? How do you catch his eye?"
r "Apart from being really hot, I mean. But there’s gotta be more to it than that."
scene twogirlsonabed25
with dissolve
c "Pfft...thank you, Rin."
c "I wish I had better advice to give you, but...getting someone to look my way isn’t really a strong suit of mine."
c "Sensei was looking at me before I even knew he was. And without even realizing what was happening, I just started looking at him as well."
c "And yeah...there are times when his eyes wander somewhere else...but all I can do is sit there on the couch and have faith that he’ll come back home. And you know what?...He always {i}does.{/i} "
c "But that’s not because of anything {i}I’m{/i} doing. It’s because he loves me. And because I love him enough to wait."
c "So if you love Otoha...and you’re okay with waiting, do it."
c "But Rin?...I have to say this...and if you want to hate me for it, that’s fine..."
c "But you can do better. "
c "You can do {i}so much{/i} better. You {i}deserve{/i} so much better."
c "You shouldn’t spend every night on the couch...waiting for someone to come home just to have them leave again a week later."
c "You shouldn’t have to explain yourself every time you have feelings...and you shouldn’t be turned into a villain just because you have so much love to give. "
c "You should be treasured. The way {i}I{/i} am treasured."

c "I’d be happy to hold you tighter until you manage to calm down."
r "{i}*Sniff*{/i} You’re crying too, you know..."
c "{i}*Sniff*{/i} Mhm. Which is why I made the suggestion..."
r "I don’t know if I’m allowed to have a platonic cuddle buddy...especially one that I masturbated to for years. "
c "You can masturbate to me whenever you want. I don’t mind."

c "..."

c "You, uhh...want a glass of water or something? I think I need some...fresh air..."
r "One gallon of ice water, please. And if you could maybe slap me in the face a couple times too, that would be cool. "
