Noboru blinked. He blinked once and twice and a third time. What was happening? Was this real? It had to be a dream of some sort. Or more of a nightmare. One which he was unable to wake up from. Chiaki didn't really have anything to hide did she? He never found any faults when he talked to her. Noboru was shocked. He couldn't even think of anything witty. What was he to say to her? He couldn't insult her, but he couldn't think of any encouragement. What was he to say to the girl he liked, without mucking it up. He only thought of one thing. His head turned towards Chiaki, and he spoke up.

He took a stance for himself, ready to fight and take orders from Rui.
