That 'secret crush' he's going on about it - that's me. [It is entirely strange to be admitting this and it feels - it feels almost like making it painfully, unavoidably real. But that had happened already, hadn't it. He'd shown her that on the couch that night. This wasn't just going to go away.] Masaomi likes me.
