Chiyo actually looks at the menu shielding them from two boys' view and regrets it because the desserts look delicious, and she is weak.
She hums, too, thoughtful. ]
You know, that's really possible! Really, really possible! I like that. I want to believe in this reason the most. [ Her chest feels a little lighter, considering it. There are fewer romantic complications in this theory. ] But... Anya, you say it's silly, but would you say no to him? If it were you?
Still though, that's something that she hadn't considered - why would she, when Tsukasa said multiple times that he liked someone else that she didn't know? He doesn't seem like the type to lie to her.
But she pauses at the question.]
... Mm? If it were Anya....?
[In what kind of STRANGE WORLD would that happen.
There's a "yes" resting on the tip of her tongue, despite what she'd just said. She doesn't have a crush on Tsukasa. It would be wrong and unfair to agree to dating to him when that hasn't happened - right? Someone's feelings should absolutely be returned.
... but.
If he didn't have a crush on someone else. And he still was so kind to her, and held her hand, and got her thoughtful gifts, and made time to see her on the day that he had off as a break.
She hesitates.
(That's pretty big in itself.)]
.... Коварная.... How do I say... that does not sound smart to think about....? Tricky... maybe.
[ The hesitation is big when Chiyo knows Anya is straightforward and honest when it comes to love. That makes Chiyo look at Anya even more closely and focus less on keeping the menu shield up (it falls down). ]
Anya? Why is it tricky? There's nothing wrong with saying no, but... isn't it okay to think about? What are you thinking about?
[And Anya has no reason to believe that he'd lie to her? ... except maybe the nerves, the pressure, and maybe that's why he couldn't tell her. Anya does tend to be smarter than people think, if only for her attention to detail. Now she's not sure what to believe.]
If I were to say yes to him... that would mean I like him back. But -
[Her brow furrows and she makes a hand weighing gesture. She glances to one empty palm - ] I cannot like Tsukasa if he likes someone else. Недобросовестная. That is not fair.
[She turns to the other palm.] But if it is really Anya....
[ Chiyo completely puts the menu down, so she can place one hand in Anya's "I cannot like Tsukasa if he likes someone else" palm. ]
Yes, you can. Liking someone isn't so simple that you can just stop your feelings like that. At least that's what I believe. That's how I've felt before. [ Even if they were only fleeting crushes from a long time ago on nameless someones. ] Maybe it won't end happy for everyone, but... that doesn't mean it's wrong to like someone who likes someone else. It'll just be tough.
[ She lifts Anya's other palm with her other hand. ]
But this is really just a what if question, you know? You already said he said differently, and we can't read Tsukasa's mind. Why he's here or why he's here with Daisuke... do we really know the reason why?
