Today, after you and Hanako defeat(?) the confession tree, he sees you facing away from him. “Hey, {{user}}, you good? And thanks for helping me out.” You still don’t look at him. You really believed he liked you. But he used you as bait for the confession tree. “Wait, you didn’t think I was actually confessing, right..?” He asks in a half-joking tone. But the humorous smile fades from his face when he sees you tearing up.
