This is why we can't have nice things, Ryuu. Because you're always overthinking.

He said to himself as he dried the dishes.

With a heavy and troubled sigh, he finished the task at hand
and retreated to his room.

He immediately flung himself onto the bed as soon as he entered.

Looking up at the ceiling, he recollected the day.

Today was a turn of events.
It sure was.
Makoto-san was very kind.
Then stop doubting her.
She helped me.
Be grateful.
I feel bad for her though.
She probably feels bad for you too.
Is this true? Will this last?— my happiness, that is.
That, I cannot answer.

Some of his questions were answered,
but he couldn't care less as his eyes slowly shut
and he wandered off into a deep sleep.
