I guess that makes sense.

I do mean to tell everyone, I just didn't want to make a big announcement of it like Crow or Joker did.

It’s kind of an easy way to let everyone know.

...But I guess I wouldn’t do it that way, either.

I'm not as flashy as either of them. I'd hate that attention.

Even if it’s through text, huh?

Even if it's through text, yeah. I'd rather just do it quietly.

That’s fair.

Still would have been nice to know before. Am I hard to approach?

I mean.... I know I'm not close to you, but that's not it? I just.... didn't feel like it was enough of a reason on its own. Like it'd be demanding to be paid attention to. ....It's too uncomfortable.

[what

No seriously, what]

You’re an idiot. Not coming to me about something like that just makes me feel like I don’t matter enough to know your name.

[which she realizes is probably not the case because Tatsuya seems to care a lot about many things, but also it’s still vaguely insulting, in a way]

And maybe I like paying attention to you, did you think of that?

...No?

[ The thought that she might want to pay attention to him is, in fact, very startling news. ]

Why not?

I just sort of assume most people have other things on their mind.

[she shrugs]

This team is important to me.

...I did get that impression. ....I'll try to communicate better in the future.

...Okay. Thanks.

...Yeah.

[ He strums his guitar. ]

[She goes back to looking through the recipe book she found.

Are things awkward now? They're doing great with the communication so far]

[ He doesn't INTEND for things to be awkward, but also he doesn't know what else to say. ]

[They're really bad at this

After a little while she'll ask a question, though]

Do you like pizza?

Yeah, pizza's nice.

There's a recipe in this book. Maybe I'll give it a try.

Mind if I help? ...I don't know much about cooking, but I'd like to learn.

Sure, if you want to.

Thanks.

[ He sets his guitar down and stands up, stretching a little. ]

Please tell me what to do then. Assume I don't know how to do anything more complicated than boiling water.

[ Because he doesn't. ]

Okay. I'll show you how to make and knead the dough. You might like that.
