Each class does something-- like put on a play, or create a cafe within their classroom or run a stall or a haunted house... and they open it up to the public, so everyone can come in and take a look around and enjoy themselves.
... Now that I think about it, they're very popular for confessions too.
Is that right? That's fairly similar to the dances we had at my school then.
On the night of a dance, students would go sneaking into the Goddess Tower. It's an old tower on our school grounds where legends say, if two people confess their love, they'll be granted a happy ending.
I must say, I'm a little envious of people who were able to prioritize that kind of thing.
[ He shakes his head, immediately regretting it. ]
Actually, I find love quite powerful. But it's... just not a priority, I suppose. There's too much else that consumes, for me to ever think about such things. Because of the war. Because of politics.
Mm... I'd like to be in love one day, I think. I like the idea of having a partner, someone I can support and let support me. [ she glances down at the flower... string in her hands. ]
But I need to set things right first. And as for love, I'm sure it will happen on its own.

[ with a faint smile, as she gathers up more red flowers and settles again to try braiding the stems together. ]
But I am, too. Things like that... it was never really a consideration for me.

As it turns out, most dates don't like when you leave them if you get an emergency call.

You couldn't have been a doctor in high school...?

In high school, though, I was too busy studying, and then there were the after-school clubs so I never really thought about romance for myself.

[ He smiles a little. ]
Well, I can't judge. I'm much the same. It's too much of a liability.

Because of the war? Or does that have to do with why you don't trust favors without catches?

Here we are, two people who can admit there's strength to be found in love, but far too busy for it.
I hope that, when the war ends and the politics settle at least a little, that can change for you.

[ He bumps his shoulder against hers. ]
But to be honest, I've never had much of an inclination toward romance. I've lived most my life alone, and I've never yearned for that to change.

I think someone is missing out on you, probably. But if you're content with that, then so am I.
