I was hoping tonight would go a little better...but... it just seems to remind me how I never know what'll happen... and I... I've been wanting to tell you for some time... b-but... I may lose that chance if I continue to wait...

I have to confess... I... I have feelings for you, Reisen-san. I- I've never felt this way... for anyone... and you... you don't have to return my feelings I- I just-

I want you to know...
