[ Just what is Karamatsu bowing for? Is he playing around? ]

...Don't be like that.

Karamatsu is someone important to me, even when he's being dramatic.

[ Aoba kneels down at the kotatsu and reaches out to Karamatsu's face, then literally pulls at it to get him to crawl closer to him. Stop that. He wants him to stop that, stop beating himself up over silly and inconsequential things. He wants him to know that he cares for him, not try to match some so-called score. ]

Don't you know you're enough, just by existing? Come here.
