Arata Minami: Oh. Do you want my order too?
Kuroe Akaishi: ...You're not eating? You came here, but all you got was iced tea...
Arata: Well...(shows picture of himself as a chubby middle schooler)...the thing is, I pork up really fast! This was me in middle school. Back then, I had zero confidence. No friends either. It feels like if I revert to who I was then...everyone will leave me. When I think about it like that...tasty stuff just doesn't taste that good anymore. I think the cafe staff would be happier if you ate the pancakes too. I'll give you my ticket.
Kuroe stabs a pancake onto a fork and holds it in front of Arata
Kuroe: EAT...
Arata: Huh!?
Kuroe: Whether you're a fatty or a beanpole...I don't care. But I'm glad...I got to come here with you today. There are people like that...around you too. Or I mean, there's one...at least. So...so just quit worrying and eat!

"I used to be obese. Once you've conquered obesity, everything else is easy. Life literally moves in slow motion. I'm not saying I'm Superman, but let me just put it this way: if I were shot in the head, I'm pretty sure everything would be fine. I'd almost welcome it."
