The second floor of the gym―this was where we always met. It was class time, but of course, there weren't any classes going on in a place like this.
This was where Shimamura and I became friends. We hung out here―talking about TV shows and cooking, playing some ping pong... This is where we fostered our friendship.

It's just that when she hears the word "friend," I want her to think of me first. That's all.
