Yamada: Ichikawa, you're not going to any clubs?
Ichikawa: No... well, I'm in the data processing club, but I've only done one week.
Yamada: I'm... quitting the basketball club.
Ichikawa: ...Really?
Yamada: Well, 'cause lately, I haven't been able to go to work. And I'm not allowed to play basketball, so...
Ichikawa: That's also... pretty extreme.
Yamada: But you've gotta do something. I mean you do, right?
Ichikawa: Guess so.
Yamada: Maybe I should join the data processing club.
Ichikawa: ...Hmmm.
Yamada: Hey, say something.
Ichikawa: I said "hmm", right?

Yamada: When it comes to Papico, the standard coffee flavor or the claps flavor. Which do you like?

Yamada: Hara-san's group gets to go to Nagasaki hut, lucky them.
Ichikawa: Well, it's not like you'd only go there to eat. Personally, I enjoyed this a lot more. (Especially now.)
Yamada: Me too! (Hugs Ichikawa's bookbag from behind him) Think those two are gonna go out!?
Ichikawa: B-Beats me…
Yamada: Pretty crazy dating someone from the same class, huh?
Ichikawa: Yeah...
Yamada: Back in elementary school, couples were just out in the open. That said, I think keeping it a secret might be more fun. What do you think?
Ichikawa: …Sure… wouldn’t that be nice…?

"It's not Yamada's heart that I don't understand. It's my own heart. Even though I really wanted it, I figured I couldn't get it anyway, so... I was just looking for reasons to hate it. Because letting yourself like something that much is scary."
—Ichikawa, before reconciling with Yamada in Karte 43.
I'm always..... thinking about bad things.
—Yamada, Karte 141.
