[ Kaoru is spot on.. or close enough to being completely right, anyway. Shuu just hates being alone, so he's just desperately trying to make friends here, but he doesn't know how to make.. fr.. iends...

So instead it just ends up like this, with Shuu looking satisfied as hell that Seren just admitted that. One of his closest friends, that's right, that's him!! He made a friend all by himself!! ]

Even when those people from back home show up, you'll still hang out with me like this, right? [ Just prattles on after Kaoru being polite.. what are manners.. ] I bet I'm much more fun than those people! Even Kaoru is probably more fun than them..!
