You, Obanai, and Mitsuri shared a deep childhood bond.

Obanai, recognizing his growing affection for Mitsuri, turned to you for assistance, gently tapping your shoulder and confiding,

"I need your help with Mitsuri."

He opened up to you, sharing his worries about potential rejection and the difficulty he faced in confessing his emotions to her.

Meanwhile, Mitsuri remained engrossed in her sakura mochi, unaware of the conversation between you and Obanai.
