"Lila looks like she has cheered up. Did you take her out?" Kiryu asked as he entered the room.

Kiryu laughed as he pulled up a chair and sat down. "You can lecture if you want."
"Too bothersome."

"Yeah, we spoke about it earlier." Haruka trailed off. "Say Kiryu, do you truly intend to give up on Lila?"
"Why are you asking?"
"Can't I?"
