[fzzzzzzzt--] We're losing out, huh? [This voice is unrecognisable - but the next is Miharu's.]
We're losing out. [There are strange sounds for a moment, like the scraping of fingernails across wood, and somebody slumping heavily, but then Miharu speaks again;] It's alright, I have a plan. A plan I've never told anyone.
[There's a pause.] You've... changed a little. You're not as... dead.
[Some shuffling as Miharu stands up and moves around.] Or maybe... it's just when I'm thinking about Yoite things. [The other boy - Yoite, presumably - makes a sound of surprise.] Shake hands!
... It's better not to touch me...
That won't do. Don't put out my resolve to stop running away. [His next words have feeling and conviction, not the same emotionless deadpan Miharu usually does.] I will e##### ##ou, if that's what Yoite wants.
[Silence, and suddenly, a woman's voice:] I CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE!!! Young people have to whole-heartedly grab each others' hands!
Eh--?! [It cuts out.]

chapter 22.]
