At least someone finally punched him. "She's not serious about it because she only said it once." What a shitty thing to say. It's so disappointing it's regressing this badly.
Wow… So, that’s how he sees Hanako ?! A violent girl who would cave his face in without hearing any explanations first despite being his first and best friend at that school ?! Tsss… You just can’t help but disappoint us, can’t you, boy ?
