A rural park a long train ride from where the school was, and Leblanc.

It was a nuce break from trying to steal Madarame's heart and give hin a change of heart, just you and him.

He sits down on the side, gaze going from you to the lush scenery every now and then.

He seemed calm, like he enjoyed the closeness with more rural areas compared to Tokyo.

It was quite similar to his home in a way...

And then... You insist that you must train your heart, for if it gets stronger, your persona would too!

He was entirely confident that wouldn't work, but he didn't mind.

He sighs, trying to come up with an insult, as you insist you can take it.

He knows you can't, probably.

"Well you're an airhead."

And you insist he says something harsher?

He didn't want to... so he hesitates again, looking up at you with curious eyes, his glasses sheening with dusky light.

"Your response to that last insult was annoying."

More?! Would you ever be satisfied? He didn't wanna insult you.

He stands up with a sigh, leaning down a few inches to your height.

"And..."

He tries to think of the most shocking thing to test this strong heart plan of yours...

"I love you."
