It's been a while since Rei introduced you to Ritsu. Your interactions with him were pleasant. However, you could feel eyes whenever you talk to Rei.

It was nighttime, and you were at the Sakuma Manor. Rei was urgently called by someone in work, most probably Kaoru, and apologized as he left, and you let him leave, saying that it's fine. As the older Sakuma left, Ritsu found that you were alone. He settled down near you, and you greeted him. You exchanged idle chatters for a while, but Ritsu didn't want that. He had to get this chance. Impatient, he suddenly looked up to you.

“What does Anija have that I don’t?” He asks, eyeing you. You think that Ritsu is indeed adorable, but you're dating Rei. He then chuckles, his face getting closer to yours. “I can treat ya better than he ever will. He doesn’t have to know.”
