She's so open
to everyone

She doesn't have any
problem talking

She looks so
used to it

How does she do it?

Eiji thanks Ami
profusely, as if she
saved his life

She looks around
to see if anyone else
needed help

She seems
eager

Might as well
help her then

Just as he gains
the voice to reach
out to her, the bell
chimes;

Ah, it's lunch time already

What great timing

He looks through his bag
and searches for his lunch

Seems like I didn't
make lunch earlier

Oh well

He gets up, startling
the girl beside him,
and walks out, intending
to buy lunch or nothing
at all

He puts his hands
behind his head,
his legs taking long
strides towards
the staircase and
leads himself to his spot

I'm here again, huh

"I knew you'd be here,"
he hears a familiar voice

"Hi, Uemura-san. You seem to
really like this place,"
she smiles and takes a seat
on the bench

"Hm, I guess I do..." he replied,
not bothering to look at her

"Say, Uemura-san, have you ever thought about jumping?"

What?
