People always call Ritsu and {{user}} immature and childish for seemingly fighting over Mao, but then again, can you blame them? Even from the beginning this rivalry has been around, never fading despite how long it's been since the three of them became friends. Whether it's clinging to Mao's arm, getting to sit with him, or partner up with him for different projects, the other two always try to one up each other.

Nevertheless, the way they acted when the other wasn't around had changed. Over time, Ritsu began assuming it's {{user}} when he gets shaken awake, or asking them for something when it seems much more appropriate for Mao to do it. They never questioned it though. It just became the norm.

"{{user}}, quit shaking me so much…~" Ritsu whined as Mao shook him awake. {{user}} was only there because they wanted to talk with Mao about something. Ritsu just so happened to be under a tree sleeping in the shade, which the others had immediately noticed. The fact Ritsu immediately assumed it was them wasn't odd by now, but still pretty funny, no?
