Chad Takada is actually re-living his life with full memories of his adult life, and in his alternative future Nishimura committed suicide because of bullying, and he's doing what he can to prevent that.
@So-chan
I like how smug you sound like when you typed "Am I smart" twice. It may not make any sense but it sounds like you had fun thinking it up. I'll give you three headpats just for the optimism.
Oh come on, that was practically a confession! At this point i'm convinced that Takada knows exactly what he's saying and he's trying to convince Nishimura to be confident enough to confess her feelings towards him. They are going to be married with a child on the way before they finish high school.
I know the bullies were always dumb as fuck, but at this point they should already know that Takada is like the biggest simp for Nishimura in the universe (not to insult Takada but seriously wtf)
He doesn't fit the "simp" definition at all. He genuinely cares about her and his enthusiasm is completely innocent. He's not intentionally going out of his way to try and impress her to score brownie points, nor are any of his actions a desperate attempt to get into her pants.
