Monologue: I didn't feel like venturing into town. Maybe I didn't want to bump into anyone else - it might be embarrassing to be seen with her, even though we got along okay. So that's why we went down one block to a quiet fast food restaurant. The sandwiches there were maybe two steps above cafeteria quality, but I think it was worth it for the chance to stay in the neighborhood.

Keiko: So what's on your mind? You're not always this friendly.

Yusuke: Oh, not much to do today. I just figured nothing was going on, and that I had been on my own a lot.

Keiko: I've been thinking about you lately.

Yusuke: Um, thanks.

Keiko: I mean it. You've been through a lot, so I figure I can't just treat you like some kind of little brother any more.

Yusuke: Hey, I've tried to notice you as well. I don't exactly know how to say things like this, but I'm trying, right?

Monologue: Things were still pretty awkward, but I figured our relationship was working better than before. Now maybe she'd understand me, and I might even understand her.
