He usually came out of it himself back home, too. We'd try to get him to come out, but only Harada-san, his... last catcher and our old captain... only he could really get him to do much. [ Itsuki squints a little, though. ] He mostly just said to leave him be, though, since it was quieter without him around.

[ He's only a butt-kicking type when the right button gets pressed. Just wait until that happens, Suga. ]

I think sometimes, even if you really like someone, you need a break from them. [ Also, Miyuki embarrasses the hell out of him seamlessly, since. Yeah. That happened. He admires Suga a little for his resilience with both him and Mei, honestly. But he shrugs, a little wobbly due to their proximity but unfazed by how that jostles them. ]

But I don't know what I'd do, if Mei-san wasn't here. Or you, and even Miyuki-san. I've made a few other friends here, but I'm a little less lost now.
