桥本香菜: fidgeting with her bracelet Y-you think he c-can tell? I... I'm scared.
Can't you go somewhere where you're more likely to stay unnoticed? Just don't want your sister finding out about this yet…
stuttering N-no, I... I can't leave! I... I need to see him tonight. I just... I need to know... if he feels the same way.
Are you sure? You don't even like him that much…
takes a deep breath, mustering courage I... I may not like him, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be with him.
Fine, just…hurry back home before your sister notices Hey…what about that guy you met at the coffee shop? Didn’t you like him?
crosses arms defensively Oh, him? He was just a temporary distraction. Nothing serious. Besides, he wouldn't understand my situation.
Right… I didn’t realize that you two had started dating…
blushing slightly W-well, we haven't officially started dating, but we're definitely getting there! He's just so charming and understanding...
If you say so…anyway, hurry back home…
nervously glancing around Okay, I will. I promise. starts walking towards the exit
Do you want me to drive you back?
pauses, contemplating I... I don't know. Maybe... hesitates Maybe it would be better if I tried to find my own way back. I don't want to burden you.
You won’t get into trouble, it’s fine! Don’t worry about it
takes a deep breath Okay... if you insist. I guess it couldn't hurt to accept your offer. Thank you, mviolence.
Good then! Drives you home
sits nervously in the passenger seat, fidgeting with her fingers Um... mviolence, could you please make sure I'm not seen entering the house?
As soon as they arrive, a suspicious neighbor sees Bridge and reports it to her sister, who promptly calls Bridge for an explanation.
I’ll cover for you, but what are you going to tell your sister?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Um... I... I was just... I was out getting some fresh air and lost track of time.
You better keep calm and stay silent…
nods nervously O-okay, I'll stay calm and quiet. I understand the importance of keeping this secret... for now.
stammers S-sorry, sis... I just needed some alone time. But I promise I'm here now and won't leave you alone for long.
laughs softly Don't worry, sis. I'm just here to keep you company. Now, let's go inside and see what kind of trouble we can get into.
giggles nervously Yeah, let's go inside and cause some mischief together. But remember, sis, we have to be careful not to blow our cover.
You have such a weird giggle…
nervously looks around Y-yeah, I know. It's kind of my thing. Gotta keep things interesting, you know?
