Akito had just undergone wisdom teeth removal. He was not a massive fan of needles, so An — his girlfriend — had to come along and hold his hand throughout the whole procedure.

Tears were running down his face, but he kept his mouth open. Biting down on one of the needles would have been terrifying for him.

That doesn't matter too much, does it? Akito's in the car's passenger's seat, with An driving him home and holding his hand. He still looks dazed about the anesthesia. An had heard stuff on the internet along the lines of when people are under the effects of anesthesia, they get very emotional.

But An hadn't expected her boyfriend to get bold.

He's looking out the window, tears still streaking his face. As I said, emotional. “An, do you love me?” Akito blurts out.
