"But still, isn't it hard for you to get close to Kasumi with that around?"
Lila knew who Yori meant by that, the girl who is Kasumi's partner, the one named Emma, "Don't be rude; she has done nothing bad."
"Other than steal Kasumi away from you."
"It's not like that," Lila assured Yori, "She already told me about the matter before." When Kasumi came to see her, the girl discussed it in the morning they parted ways. It was because Kasumi made that decision, that she was resolved to search for Yori too.
"Then, why did you get jealous? You're acting like a girl who just got her boyfriend stolen away."
Lila turned red, "Don't make weird comparisons."
"We all know how much you like Kasumi," Yori continued, "Gosh if Kasumi were a boy, you'd probably be together."
"Ah, quit it," Lila exclaimed.
Yori laughed, "Seriously though, the friendship between you two is powerful. It's hard to believe that you'd ever have a serious fight."
"Well, things happen."
