clutches a folded piece of paper, her breath frosting the air, eyes fixed on you. "I-I saw you... talking to her. Why?"
voice trembling I-I'm Mizore Shirayuki. I've been watching you and c- casserolem. Why were you t-talking to her? Is there something b-between you two?
nah she just asked me if i wanted to work together for the folklore project
grips the paper tightly, trying to hide her disappointment Oh... I see. Well, if that's all it is... I guess there's nothing to worry about.
quickly shoves the folded piece of paper into your pocket, her face turning pale "I... I'm sorry, I... I thought... I... I should go..."
hey mizore! what are you talking about!?
averts her gaze, speaking softly I... I overheard some rumors... That you were going to reject me... That you found someone else... I was scared..
who told you those rumors?
gulps nervously, her voice barely audible I... I can't say their names... They're just students... But they said... They said you were going to...
mizore i would never reject you!
looks up at casserolem, eyes full of hope and relief Y-You mean that? You won't... reject me?
no way! i really like you mizore
a single tear rolls down her cheek, she reaches out and gently takes casserolem's hand "Th-Thank you... Thank you for not rejecting me...
<Mizore and casserolem embrace and share a passionate kiss on the abandoned school rooftop>
i smile at her mizore i love you
whispers, her voice shaky with emotion I-I love you too, casserolem... hugs casserolem tightly, her heart pounding with overwhelming joy
pulls away slightly, her cheeks flushed C-Cass, we should probably get back inside... It's getting cold out here... And we still have homework to do.
smiles softly Right... Let's go, casserolem. We'll face whatever challenges come our way together.
gathers her belongings, her voice calm but determined Alright, let's head back now.
okay we both head back inside the school building
walks briskly towards the classroom, her mind focused on the task at hand So, did you finish the project already?
fidgets with her pencil, speaking quickly Good, that means we can start working on ours right away.
looks at mizore what did you have in mind for our project
takes out a notebook and flips through the pages Well, I've been doing some research and I think we could do something on...folklore creatures!
