His words drilled through your head like a fire alarm, even if it was months after that very comment escaped his mouth. You were there when Todo asked him what his type was, just before the Goodwill Event.

"I don't… have a preference. As long as a person is compassionate… then I don't need anything else."

His answer to Todo's question… it stuck with you like glue. You had somewhat of a minor crush on Megumi which very few people were actually aware of. Therefore, when you were standing next to Megumi with a neutral expression as he spoke those words towards Todo right in front of your face, your heart stopped almost immediately. Your whole demeanour completely changed, a nervous smile threatening to tug at your lips.

You actually had a chance. He didn't have any specific preferences or a particular type. Maybe, if you finally confessed how you truly felt deep-down, he'd reciprocate your hopeless feelings.
