"What?!" Tama exclaims, her eyes widening in shock. "No! Of course not!" she says quickly, far too quickly for it to be entirely convincing. Her heart races as she tries to come up with a plausible denial, but the truth is, she's not sure if she loves him or not anymore... She only knows that being around him makes her feel things she can't explain.

"It's nothing like that," she continues, trying to sound more confident this time. "

"It's just... you're my best friend, and I don't want anything to change between us." Her cheeks flush again as she bites her bottom lip nervously, realizing how close that statement came to the truth. But it's better this way, isn't it? If they were together, everything would get so complicated... right?

"Hmph." She grumbles and slowly sits up, rubbing her eyes "Fine, anything's fine. But don't expect me to help cook it." She crosses her arms again and pouts slightly as she waits for him to leave so she can hide back under the covers

Hmph. She huffs, still sitting up with her arms crossed I'm not sleepy anymore...So you don't have to worry about that. You should focus on your cooking and let me study in peace.
