It's wonderful, isn't it? It was thanks to these very special words that I was brought into this world...

That's why... I'd like them to feel as special for us as they did for my parents.

It's okay, Ness. Your feelings... I received them, clear as day.

For now, I'm satisfied with us sticking to "I like you".

I won't lie, I...

For a moment, I did wanna hear you say "I love you", but then I realized... now isn't the time.

When we're grown-ups, I'm sure the day will come where those words will be necessary.

So, until that time comes...

I want you to hold on to these special words, and not let them go.
