A few days later (August 2035, the dome for DS 2nd round)
Recently Haruka thinks he's going crazy, is it just the sheer fact that they spend a lot more time together? In his dreams - no even when he's awake, his thoughts are consumed with Terashima Lila and only her. Haruka watches her from afar; she's laughing away with the usual group Jae-hee, Ayase, Yamamoto, Kogami. Other groups of participants staring at them with looks of envy, others filled with admiration. The five of them certainly stood out with the way they constantly dominate the rankings.
But despite this, Haruka's gaze remained focus on her. He doesn't understand; he's becoming far too obsessed with her. Not being able to sleep without her aside, it feels like he can't do anything unless she's around.
Lila falls into his arms with a beaming expression on her face as she softly called out his name, "Haruka?"
".."
He said nothing.
But he replied to her using his actions.
