Heisuke Toudou: "Ugh… So cold...gonna die… It shouldn't even be that cold at this time of night......Damnit, I've had enough! I gotta escape to a restaurant or convenience store― Huh? Over there, is that..."
Kaoru Nagumo: "She should be the same size as me, so a medium… No, maybe a small...? ...The color should definitely be pink or red… But if it's too cute, creeps will come crowding around her..."
Heisuke Toudou: "―Oh, hey, Kaoru. Whatcha up to?"
Kaoru Nagumo: !?
Kaoru Nagumo: "...Haah, it's you? Nothing, really."
Heisuke Toudou: "Hey, don't be rude. I'm older than you, you know."
Kaoru Nagumo: "...Okay, Toudou. I just happened to be passing through here."
Heisuke Toudou: "Just happened to, huh… Isn't this a general goods store for girls? You interested in this sort of thing?"
Kaoru Nagumo: "No, I’m not."
Heisuke Toudou: "...Oh, but those gloves in the window seem like they would look good on Chizuru."
Kaoru Nagumo: "...!"
Heisuke Toudou: "Wait, but she doesn't usually wear gloves. Maybe a scarf would be better..."
Kaoru Nagumo: "...Hold on, Toudou. Why do you know that?"
Heisuke Toudou: "Well, my house is right next door to hers. We walk to school together a lot."
Kaoru Nagumo: "...H-Hmph. What a useless relationshipーneighbors,childhood friends or whatever. Obviously, such a frail bond cannot compare to the strength of that shared by blood-related siblings. I'm not frustrated at all that you happen to live next to her!"
[Kaoru leaves]
Heisuke Toudou: "What just happened...? Was that, like, brotherly jealousy or something? ...Well, I won't lose, even to her biological sibling. Me and her are like family!"
Heisuke Toudou: [mutters] "...Haha, like family, huh..."
