Answering her Questions
"Alright, let's calmly take a step back and analyze things properly. I won't deny that Akane and I are very active but what does that have to do with your relationship though?"
I'm certain that Akane and the others will ask this girl how our conversation went so… I should be very careful on how to clear her doubts and enlighten whatever path she's trying to tread from here.
This doesn't just concern her relationship but also her perception of herself.
Her low self-esteem was hidden beneath her cheerful and playful nature. I’m sure her friends are already aware of it but not openly. They also cannot bring it up since this girl can simply run away from it.
And so, that role was passed to me, I guess?
Eri visibly hesitated. Her cheeks take on the color pink. Coupled with the feeling of embarrassment from earlier, she's looking a little hot at the moment. Not figuratively but literally hot.
