You can do what you want. [ ... ] I consider the partners thing seriously.
But if you switch your focus to someone else other than me, I wouldn't blame you. I really mean that.
[ mineo's refusal to do this has been more confusing than anything, honestly. ]
[mineo's an idiot and he's sometimes pretty difficult to deal with but - at least he takes pride in his work when he takes things seriously. he has his uses, even if it's to be thrown around and directed. why is takeru so willing to let him go?]
. . . but instead of following after takeru this time he'll just call out after him even if they're theoretically in a hallway and it's probably embarrassing]
I won't! I said I wouldn't betray you, and I meant it! I chose you as my partner, and I'm not changing my mind! So deal with it, Takeru!!

.... do I get to ask or are you just gonna tell me no and try to walk away again?
no subject
No.
