Book 2: Chapter 3: Part 11
Later that night, after helping Sakura go out and repair her camera, I was holding onto my cell phone pretty tightly.
There was so much sweat on my hand holding onto my cell phone that it didn’t seem like I was in a room with a functioning air conditioning unit.
“We’ve managed to shrink the gap between ourselves and Sakura… would you agree?”
“It’s better than how it was yesterday, at least. Though, there’s still a lot more progress to be made. I’m pretty disappointed in myself.”
Kushida probably had her heart set on getting on even better terms with Sakura than what she ended up managing to do. However, it has always seemed like Sakura has placed a high wall between herself and others. Unless we manage to overcome that wall, it would be difficult to call in Sakura as a witness.
“That reminds me, why did you try to get Sakura to take off her glasses?”
“Well, it would be a bit awkward to say why exactly. For some reason, it felt like they didn’t suit her exactly- if that makes any sense. Or rather, should I say that she doesn’t seem to be very connected to her glasses? I don’t exactly understand it myself. I had thought that I had met her before, but I guess it was just a typical misunderstanding.”
“No… maybe it’s not just you imagining things. Sakura isn’t the type of person who dresses for the sake of fashion, right? I’m the same way. I choose to wear plain, non-standoffish clothing to the best of my ability.”
“Yeah, you’re right. She doesn’t seem to be very fashion-conscious. But what’s wrong with that?”
