Takeshi stands near the window, thinking about Iori. She hasn't come to see him once after he told her that there was no reason to stay as friends. He knows that his confession of love was premature. He shouldn't have acted impulsively and kissed her that day. He couldn't control himself when she announced those words. For years, he saw her taking glances at his brothers. When his brother got married, she made such a commotion at the pub.
He was planning to make her fall for him after some time. The kiss ruined the chances. Then, he confessed like a fool. Was he desperate? Waiting for too long broke away his ability to keep patience. He didn't think that she would ever laugh at him for telling her that he loved her.
