Tokine: You know, from today, you’re a third year student. But it seems like even though you’ve progressed in your studies, you’ve not developed in maturity.
Yoshimori: But I slept so late yesterday!
Tokine: Don’t look for excuses.
Yoshimori: Give me a break! Its because its spring!! I want to sleep!!!

Yoshimori: Ah? Why is my head spinning?
-Because my body knows I’m going to school?
-Hey, wait…

Yoshimori: What’s the big deal!

Yoshimori: Tokine…why is she smiling to that kind of guy…
Shu: Sorry, Sen’s not here right now.
