Shrug.

"How are you going to—is it the magic guy?" he asks, looking at Haru .

"Yeah..."

"Except, but, no, he said he wasn't in the time loop with you?"

"He's, uh, writing a lot of notes to self."

"Dude you can't fuckin' hold a relationship based on notes to self."

"It's... more complicated than that."

"Yeah I bet. ...is he why..."

"No. Not really."

"I never had a chance, did I," he says, and sniffles. "I wasn't even, like, on the radar. I'm so stupid."

"Toshiki, I, I made a mistake—"

"Don't you fucking dare call me a mistake. Or Akira. We're the best fucking decisions you've ever made, you're just too stupid to see it."

He laughs. "There's not gonna be a next loop, we're killing the witch in a week, but... if we don't, I'm bringing both of you into the masquerade day one."

"Whoop de doo, I'll have three extra weeks to make peace with the fact that I'm dying when I'm eighteen years old and the guy I like never even looked at me so I'm having to deal with the entire fucking social scene of Nada High thinking I'm gay for actually no good reason at all. Zero silver lining."

"...do you want another hug."

"I'm good, now that I'm not freaking out anymore what you're wearing is distracting and I'm trying not to feel attracted to you and maybe to stuff all of these gay feelings back where they'll never see the light of day again."

"Toshiki it is not healthy for you to force your feelings into submission like that, you don't want to be like Matsuda Eiji."

"...he's gay??"

"...ah shit."

"Okay I'm going to pretend you didn't just out a guy to me. ...how do you even know—you fucked him didn't you."

"No!"

"Well you did something."

"...maybe a little."

"Freaks me out that you got a boyfriend now, man."

"Mm. You should write that down."
