[ He sighs pinching the bridge of his nose with a forefinger and thumb. ] W-Well it's just, ah-I too have a day coming up as well you see. But it's nothing to really worry about. [ Pause. ]

[ There might be a slight involuntary twitch at that action, but Helios will look back at Naoki with a warm smile. ]

I might not be able to change what I've done...but the school, it was my-no our dream. I won't let that go to waste not after everything.
