Heeey! MEIKO, KAITO!

I'm not seeing them anywhere...

After Mafuyu went to the trouble of bringing her gifts for them over too.

It's not like we asked them to meet with us.

But they should know about our Valentine's Day party. They could hang around nearby for today, at least...

Oh, MEIKO!

I was wondering why you were all shouting. What are you up to?

We were looking for you, MEIKO.

Mafuyu has something for you.

For me?

This is for you, MEIKO.

A handkerchief?

You're always watching over us, so I decided to make you a gift for Valentine's Day.

Oh...

Yours has a butterfly embroidered on it.

Mafuyu did that, you know?

She did?

I see...

Thank you for making this.

*Nod*

The rest of us also prepared gifts, so you should come party with us if you're in the mood!

I'll think about it.

Anyway, if you're also looking for KAITO, he was just over there a second ago.

He was?

Then, he might also appear if we keep shouting his name! Hey, KAITO! We have yummy chocolates!

Umm... They're sweet and delicious...

Please come talk to us. Even just for a minute.

Doesn't seem like he wants to.

I don't have to give this to him.

No, it's too soon to give up.

I mean, you made this just for him, Mafuyu.

I agree. You should give it to him if you can.

Honestly, what kind of person doesn't show up after having their name called this much? If he really is just nearby, then there's no way he doesn't know we're here.

If he wants to force our hands, we'll just have to give him what he's asking for.

Th-This has gotten intense all of a sudden.

Hehe. But I also want you to give this to KAITO personally. I'm very interested in seeing how he reacts.

That's assuming he's going to accept my gift.

I actually believe that he won't be able to refuse.

He won't?

After all, he talks about how important it is to be honest about your feelings on a daily basis.

If you tell him you want him to have it, he won't be able to refuse your gift.

Yes, I see your point...

If I tell him that I want him to have it...

(This handkerchief will likely just go to waste if I don't give it to him...)

(But I'm not sure that equates to me genuinely wanting him to have it...)

Hey.

Aha, you finally decided to show yourself.

Who wouldn't, with you all making such a racket? Anyway, what do you all want?

I have something for you, KAITO.

You?

...

I embroidered handkerchiefs for everyone as gifts for Valentine's Day. I was just handing them out.

Embroidered...? You mean this blue flower?

It's a bellflower.

I thought it suited you, KAITO.

Okay, I'll take it...

Oh...

He really took it...

See? What did I say?

But that was so anticlimactic.

I wanted to see him smile, but he only gave us his usual, stone-faced expression.

I mean, anything else would've been pretty startling.

Are we done here?

No, don't go!

We brought chocolates, so you should stay and have some with us!

I'm glad you managed to hand out all of your Valentine's Day gifts.

Me too. Oh, actually...

I haven't given Mochizuki her gift yet.

I thought about giving it to her at school, but I sort of want to do it at your house, Kanade.

Then, let's both give our gifts to her when she visits next. I'm sure she's going to be very happy.

*Nod*
