Toge taps his finger idly on the table, a sign that he's thinking it over. It's not a straight yes or no answer, which he knows might be strange, but he wants to give Shoto a proper one.

I don't know about in love with him. Our relationship hasn't been romantic before. I do have strong feelings for him, and I'm happy for our relationship to take whatever form it does. I know that's not a straight answer, but it's how I feel. If Yuta approached me, I would give him the same answer.

Our relationship has been romantic from the start, but if you just wanted to be friends with me, or didn't remember me, that wouldn't have stopped me from loving you. I'm content either way. But I do know I probably shouldn't have done that. So I'm sorry. I have no excuse for it.
