It's interesting how low-key the storybuilding is in this one~ I wonder if Senpai is supposed to be Australian, or mixed? Or New Zealander. Hence the memories of Christmas in summer. And I like the bait-and-switch with the emotions thing. First, it's a fake-out, then we get a sweet callback as Kouhai's real words do actually make Senpai feel something. Let the escapes continue!
