They would meet in Nao's house all the time,

Which would then be always full of

Happiness and laughter.

Seiji raised his hand to pose a question.

"Have you guys... ever liked someone?"

Kouta smiled at him,

His face having the emotion

That adults never had.

Innocence.

"Nope, never!"

Seiji's eyes darted to Nao.

Nao flinched in response.

"...Nature!"

Seiji felt stupid for asking Nao.

"Nao, nature is not a person..."

Sumika, however, felt down for some reason.

"I... like Nao."

She was beet red, apparent even in her ears.
