So he's met Minako. He shouldn't be surprised, as Minako's a very friendly person. He swore she could get on good terms with most anybody. It was fun to listen to her talk about her interactions with them, too: everyone from her sport club friends to the old couple at the bookstore, as well as fellow SEES members. He nods in agreement.

"Aki's...something." Something else. A little oblivious, bit headstrong. But he was Shinjiro's best friend, though it would be hard to tell at first for Shinju, more than likely.
