[ ........ huh? ]

So you saw it all, too...?

...

Yeah. I'm sorry.

Oh.

[ a pause follows, then: ]

No, it's okay. I, ah... guess the cat's out of the bag now, huh...

... That you died before becoming a cupid, you mean?

... Yes.

It wasn't that long ago, but—I used to be human.

[...]

She said it was an accident...?

[ a small nod ]

Um. Yeah. I always walked home from school with Aki every day, but I made her a little mad about something, so we stopped and were talking for a bit... But the building we were under was still under construction, and part of it ended up collapsing on us.

[...

gently, he reaches up to place a hand on her shoulder.]

[ She stiffens for the briefest of moments, but just as quickly relaxes her shoulders again. ]

It's okay. If I work hard enough as a cupid, then I'll get the chance to be human again—and I'll get to see Aki.

[he doesn't really understand how it works, but—]

... I believe you'll get that chance.

I think so, too. Things didn't really go as planned, but... it's okay. So don't worry about me!

Mm.

... This has got to be a frustrating detour from your cupid duties, though.

It's... a bit of a setback, yeah. But I guess it's better than losing my chance forever.

... Consider it stories to tell Aki when you meet her again, then. Even if, again, you're probably gonna have to twist the premise.

... Honestly, I'm not even sure what to say without all this. I don't actually know how it works too well...

Ah. Well, you can cross that bridge when it comes. No point in stressing out too much over the future.

No no, I have to stress about getting there first, anyway.

Just don't stress yourself out too much. You're still at the age where it's okay to slack off once in a while.

I know, I shouldn’t work myself too hard, even if I want to hurry…

As long as you know. I know it's not easy to put it into practice, though.

Mm, it's probably okay... I doubt my senpai would let me do that, anyway.

Sounds like you've got a reliable senpai?

[ a nod! ]

Kanna-senpai has been helping me out a lot from the start. She's always been super reliable.

That's good. A reliable senior can help with a lot in life.

Yeah, I owe her a lot. If she weren't there, I don't know what I would do.
