Short summary: “You’re going to sacrifice your feelings for her sake?"
“You aren’t going to say anything.”
“Hmm?” Kiria had been going over in her mind how she would sing “More than friends, less than lovers” while looking from afar at Itsuki and Tsubasa. She faced Tharja with a frown.
“You’re going to sacrifice your feelings for her sake?” Tharja scoffed. “Didn’t think you were a coward like me.”
Kiria shook her head. Sure, whenever she looked at Tsubasa recently she had this fluttery feeling in her chest, but it was obvious to anyone with eyes that the one person in Tsubasa’s heart was Itsuki. Tsubasa had even admitted it out loud, and although Itsuki still remained oblivious, from that admission Kiria figured out how to sing that song.
“She’s loved him for years,” Kiria retorted. “How would I compete? Besides it’s probably just a passing fancy.” Well, she hoped it was.
“Not so fast, dear Kiria,” Tharja said, wagging a finger. “I’ve been with you for 5 years and you’ve never felt like this before.”
Tharja was right; this feeling was new but… “If I’ve never felt this before, then how would we know what it is?”
Tharja sighed. “Fine, be in denial. But I know you better than you know yourself.”
